∙ 12y agoThat depends on the horses needs. If you dont know you SERIOUSLY need to find out pretty soon! Try asking a feed expert or a vet. I would personally say that it all depends on the type of work your horse does, or how long your horse stays in the stable for. My horse for example has quite a lot of hay...(well haylage) because she does eventing.
