Well this would depend on the horses weight. A horse should be fed 1 % up to 3% of it's body weight. Since a Belgian typically weighs between 1800 and 2200 pounds that means the horse could be fed anything from 18 pounds to 66 pounds of feed. With a draft horse it's best to try and start at about 2.5% of the body weight in feed and then adjust up or down from there as needed.

A horse should be fed between 1.5% and 3% of it's own bodyweight a day. This means a 3000 pound draft horse will need 45 to 90 pounds of food daily. The majority of the diet should be good quality hay or pasture, if the horse needs any extra energy that can be provided with a pelleted horse feed.
