Depending on the size and health of your horse. There is no such thing as an 'average' horse. Generally if a horse is unfit and coming back into work it is going to need a lot less than a superfit full time horse. If a horse if getting on in age then it is noramlly fed more food and fatty foods to keep weight and condition on. My horse is a 15.1 hh Standardbred and he gets 2 feeds a day moning and night and a haynet at night as well. His feeds are quite large. However he gets worked 3 times a week and does showjumping shows on the weekends as well. So he has quite a decent load. Hope this helps.

The cost of horse food depends on your breed of horse, and what sort of work you are doing with him. Obviously racehorses would eat much more energy-rich foods like oats and pellets. An average trail horse should be fed at least once a day with hay and/or chaff. For an extra treat you could add in pony pellets or carrots. The average price of a bale of hay in my area is $30-$35. Bags of chaff start at $3 a kilo, which is not alot, and bulk buying does save!!
