The price of horse feed will vary from horse to horse and even month to month. The best way to figure out the cost would be to figure out how much the horse you would be feeding weighs (1,200 pounds is about average). Then figure out how much of the horses body weight you plan to feed (1%-3% of bodyweight is normal with 2.5% being average.) So then you have how many pounds of food the horse needs,(1200 pounds at 2.5% is 30 pounds of food.). Next figure out what level of work the horse will be doing. No work to light riding means the horse should be receiving 100% of it's food as hay or grass. Moderate to heavy work means you should be feeding an appropriate pelleted feed. Following the bags instructions will tell you how much of the pellets to feed, then you subtract that number from the pounds of feed and what's left over is how much hay you should be feeding. (Say 5 pounds of pellets. so 30-5 =25 pounds of hay.) Next you'll want to add up how much hay and pellets will be fed over the coarse of the year and then the cost to feed them.
