Horses should eat between 1.5 to 3 % of their bodyweight, that's 15 to 30 pounds of food a day for a 1,000 pound horse.(453.5 kg horse = 6.8-13.6 kg of feed daily).
Horses will consume 0.5 to 1.0% per 100 pounds of bodyweight in water daily (45.3 kg bodyweight) so for a 1,000 pound horse that's 5-10 gallons a day (18.9- 37.8 liters) however this amount will double if not triple in hot weather or after moderate or harder work.

∙ 11y agoIt truly depends on the type of riding that you are doing. If you are just going for a leisurely trail ride at the walk you can lose about 150 to 200 calories/hour. If you are trotting, you can lose around 300 to 500 calories/hour, more if you are posting (or rising) to the trot. If you are doing barrel racing, jumping, or riding at a faster pace, you are more likely to lose up to 700 calories/hour.

How many pounds of grain does a horse needs daily?
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 you're trying to reduce the weight of your horse, they generally need less or none at all. If a horse is not being worked at all, they do not need grain unless they cannot keep weight on with out it.
