Is a quarter horse an omnivore?

Answer 1

being experienced w/ quarter horses, they can eat anything a horse is safe w/ eating! as in the normal everyday things, like hay, oats, barley, especially alfalfa hay, buy make sure it`s not extremely rich, and has no mold. good treates one perferably a day, like horse treats found @ TSC or another farm store. Also carrots apples, cantalope, asparagus, etc. make sure not to feed deadly plants ! (just go to Google, type in deadly plants for horses) also make sure your giving LOTS of water, and has lots of grass. in winter if you live w/ alot of snow, you need to makemsure your horse has enough to graze on. Perferably 3 flakes @ night, and 2 in the morning. This all depends on the weather.

Answer 2

Usually a horse's diet is not decided by his breed but by his individual needs. Just like people, horses are individuals and each has different body types, temperments and needs. But for most horses a diet of good pasture and a good quality hay with an appropriate grain for extra nutrition will suffice.

Answer 3

All horses no matter the breed require the same basics in feeding. You should feed a horse based on it's weight, typically 1.5% to 3.0% of it's body weight should be fed daily. You should take the horse to a vet with a large animal scale to get the most accurate weight reading, but you can figure your horses weight by measuring the horse from point of shoulder to point of buttock then around the horses heart girth area and do the following math problem. Girth x Girth X length= weight in pounds. Then divide that weight by 100 and multiply be the percentage you wish or need to feed to get an accurate feed weight. ( example 900 divide by 100 =9 x 2.5=22.5 pounds of feed.) What you feed and how much of it should be determined by age, job being done, and many other factors. Always consult an equine vet or nutritionist for accurate feeding help.
