Does the age of a horse effect how much it eats?

The age of a horse is important when determining how much to feed it. Horses that are growing need more nutrition than a horse who is not growing or working. Horses who are working hard, breeding, or are in foal or lactating also need more feed. Sometimes very old horses require more feed to keep them healthy because their bodies aren't as efficient at using what they are eating.
