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.

I have a belgian draft cross that is probally around 1800lbs give or take. He is in a dirt paddock shared with a goat. I do 2 quarts of grain for the horse. How much hay should i give?

How much is that in pounds? But it sounds like a lot. If you are trying for him to lose weight, I would give him very little grain (no more than 1 lb-1 1/2 lb per day) and give him as much hay as he will eat. But feed him a less nutritious hay like coastal.
