Horses that are exercised frequently need special care. They need to have cooldowns after each ride to prevent cramping and other problems. They also need to be rinsed with cold water after riding in the heat.
They need plenty of water and high energy grain. You also might need to purchase vitamins to keep up good health. Give them plenty of rest, but let them out into pasture to graze.
NEVER EVER ride them out after they have eaten...they could colic.

Horses in heavy work require more nutrition and calories than a horse who spends his days at rest.
high fibre foods and some fats like sunflower oil to keep joints supple and sometimes a nice warm bran mash after really hard work outs
That's a pretty general question, but I'll do my best. Horses that are frequently exercised need grain and hay and lots of water. They also need sufficient rest between "exercises." They need a close eye kept on their health to make sure that: 1) hooves are healthy 2) legs are strong - too much exercise and not enough rest can result in swelling or lameness. 3) no saddle sores or girth sores Hope that helps!
Very much so. An active and well worked horse requires an increase in food -grain and hay- to maintain weight and muscle mass.
No you need to still change it fequently, as it still get dirty.

I cannot answer this question.
They need a feeding program that is appropriate for the exercise level. New shoes every 6 to 8 weeks. A regular woming schedule and regular vet care with vaccinations and teeth floating if needed. They may also need electrolites to keep a healthy salt and potassium level. Always fresh clean water. And at least a day or two of rest every week, hopefully with some turnout time with horsey friends.
Updating the question for the specifics: WHo in the Upstate New york area excercised their right to go from ice to fire in the 50's? --In need of answer soon
No you don't! Horses does not need an apostrophe.
Horses occasionally need treatment for dental problems, particularly older horses. This is done by the regular vet.
