∙ 15y agoThe commonest grain would be oats and barley. Oats are normally crushed and are very high in energy and not recommended for ponies or horses in light work as they can get a bit naughty.Barley is steam cooked and rolled to make it easy to digest.It can be fed on its own or used in feed mixes made by feed companies.

∙ 12y agoThe amount of grain varies widely from horse to horse. You should always feed a horse by weight rather than the 'flake and a scoop' method which leads to health problems. A horse should get 2% of it's body weight in feed daily. and no less than 70% of that should be roughage (hay/grass) the other 30% or less can be made up of concentrates or grains. Concentrates like pelleted horse feeds are safer to feed than straight grains like oats or corn. So for example a 1,200 pound horse should get 24 pounds of feed. If you give it 16 pounds of hay (70%) then you would give 8 pounds (30%) of grains. You should not feed more than 6 pounds of any grain at one feeding, so it would be best to split that 8 pounds into two 4 pound feedings.

∙ 13y agoThis is a very general question and it depends on what type of feed you are feeding. There is natural grain feeds like oats, COB (corn oats and barley), bran, wheat bran to name a few. These grains are natural grains grown and harvested. Some can be fed whole but can also be fed rolled, flattened and flaked for easier digestion. Another type of feed is extruded grains. Extruded feeds are cooked which make digestion easier. Depending on the type of extruded some ingredients are flax, garlic, vitamin e, ginger, rosemary, whole grain oats, pellets, vegetable oils. You can also get cube or pellet grains which are a combination of different grains, peas abd beans, grasses and minerals compressed into pellets. Hope this helps you :)

Depends on the weight of the horse, the age of the horse, how hard the horse is working, the type of grain, and how well they keep their weight on just hay. The nutritional value of the hay your horse is being fed can also affect how much grain your horse needs. If you are trying to put weight on, the horse generally needs more grain.

If a horse is not being worked at all, they do not need grain unless they cannot keep weight on with out it.
