Horses, regardless of their breed, require a minimum of 1% of their body weight in good quality forage per day and up to 3% of their body weight a day. This means that horses need a minimum of 10 lbs of forage for every 1000 lbs of body weight. Along with forage, a vitamin/mineral supplement designed to be fed along with the forage utilized needs to be fed when horses are on dried/conserved forages (hays/cubes) to provide a balanced nutrient profile. In horses who have a hard time maintaining weight or perform intense work, supplemental feeds may also be necessary and should be selected to provide balanced nutrition for the specific age and use of the horse to be fed. Supplemental feeds should be fed according to the product label or horse owners should consult an equine nutritionist to ensure that a balanced diet is being supplied.
