Horses that are frequntaly excersixed need what?

Answer 1

Grain or supplements work best for a horse that is taken out on long rides, ridden multiple times a day (such as lesson horses) or horses that are showing or are competing. Grain works well for these horses, but for horses that are not constantly ridden, grain just adds fat, and makes the horse hyper.

Horses, like people, will build muscle tone and endurance as they work. Be sure to step them up gradually so that they don't get injured or sore, but there's really little to do differently than a horse that's rarely work. There's nothing you absolute must do, but consider three suggestions (you may or may not actually need them, but be prepared):

1. Make sure the horse has acess to plenty of water, and give him breaks to drink during long workouts. This is the simplest thing you could do for your horse, but it's very important during the summer months.

2. You might want to consider suppliments. These will simply make sure your horse is getting 100% of the nutrients he needs for hard work, and the less expensive versions can cost as low as $5 a month. My favorite would be Electrolytes or Apple-Dex--both are designed supply the electrolytes working horses lose.

Also, depending on the horse and the type of work he's engaged in, joint supplements can help keep his joints (especially hocks and fetlocks) healthy longer. Or if he already has mild Arthritis or a similar condition, these will help ease stiffness and pain. It's normally not nessesary, but for hard trail riding or higher level dressage/jumping, it probably will help.

3. Okay, the last thing is feet. A lot of riding (especially on hard surfaces) will wear down hooves faster than they can grow. Make sure to schedule regular farriar visits and keep in mind that, depending on your horse, you almost definitely will need shoes (which can add up to 90 or so dollars to your farriar bill).

Answer 3

Horses frequently exersized need water hay and grain. I use Omolene 200 and i love it you can find it at pretty much every feed store. it keeps thieir weight up really good. i show every weekend and i use it and my horses keep weight on great. Remember that after you work your horse to not feed it or water it for at least a half an hour cause it will make them colic.

Answer 4

If the exersize is very strenuous they may need a feed supliment. Regular hoof care is a must, time off because everyone needs a rest, and then the regular things that all horses need. It is also nice for a tired horse to have a bath and liniment rub after a hard workout.

Answer 5

Good feed and fresh water and extra grain.

Answer 6

for heavily exercised horses feeds such as compitition mix and leisure mix are good energy foods, but in some horse give them too much energy which makes them pull and be more "hyper"
