You should feed your horses at the same time everyday, generally 2 times a day, but the more frequesnt and smaller the meals the better. It's best that they always have hay or grass to munch on- you may have to find hay with less nutrient value so they don't get fat though.

Depending on the weight, age, male, female, pregnant, excercise, etc also can depend on the amount as well as winter or summer. In the winter it is recommended that some sweet feed be added for extra energy and free-choice grass hay to help keep them warm. Their diet should be a mixture of feed, grazing and hay.

As a general rule, very few horses actually need grain or any other feed. Grass hay and grass is often sufficient and best for most horses' health.

How much hay shold you give an average wheight 16.2 hand high horse in moderate work?

The height of the horse isn't so much a factor as the weight and age of the horse is. A horse should get between 1.5 and 3% of it's bodyweight in feed daily and no less than 50% of the total daily diet should be forage (hay and/ or grass.) Horses in moderate work typically get about 2-2.5% of their bodyweight in feed daily and of that total no more than 25-30% is concentrated feeds such as grains or bagged feed, the remaining 70-75% should be some kind of forage.
