In real life, yes, a horse at work will need more protein than he will when not at work.
Not exactly... You just have to make sure that they are getting the amount of food needed. On Howrse you can't give them 'extra protein'!
Frequently exercised horses need extra minerals and grain.
Horses that are frequently exercised need increased carbohydrates and increased protein. All horses need food, extra water, exercise, a clean stall, and rest. Do not over or under feed your horses, this will harm them. Give them plenty of water, attention, and be sure to ride and groom them!
Extra food for energy.
Horses that are frequently exercised need increased protein and increased carbohydrates.Horses that have heavier work will also benefit from rubdowns with a diluted liniment or brace. This will help sore or strained muscles relax and most horses love the extra pampering. It is always a good idea to wrap the horse's legs or put on protective boots (splint, skid, hock, bell) to reduce chance of injury during workout.Horses need high quality forage (hay or grazing), high-energy/protein (grain), water, salt, trace minerals. Proportions will vary according to type & frequency of exercise, age of horse, and other factors.Well, typically a horse with a larger amount of exercise would get an increase in their concertrates.Well, typically a horse with a larger amount of exercise would get an increase in their concertrates.
Extra protein and carbs
Having extra protein in your body merely provides a stockpile of fuel/food for potential muscle growth, but you need to work the muscles. Without the work, the extra protein gets you nothing.
If the horse is stalled frequently you should muck out the stall at least twice daily if not more. Many people will muck out in the morning then 'spot' clean as they pass the stall and see a new dirty spot. In the evening they will again muck out the stall or add extra bedding.
yes
Only when they are molting.
Extra protein
Once a horses shoe is nailed on, the extra length of nail is cut and a special tool is used to fold over the extra to keep the shoe on tight. This is called the clench.
Its still your ranch. When mine ran out I renewed it about 2 hours too late and my ranch and extra horses were still there.
