If a horse needs 2.2lbs of hay per 100lbs of body weight per day, a 900lb horse needs 19.8lbs of hay per day. 2.2 times the value of (900 divided by 100)=19.8 900 divided by 100 is equal to 9 2.2 times 9 is equal to 19.8
19.8 pounds of hay
19.8
You multiply 2.2 by 9 to get 19.8lbs, or about 20lbs.
It would be 2.2 x 9, so the answer would be 19.8 pounds of hay per day!
A 1,025 pound horse should be able to carry a 268 pound person with little problem.
howrse: 19.8 poundsIt depends on how much work the horse is doing and how much other food its getting.
this depends on how much the horse weighs and what kind of work it's doing. A horse needs 1.5% to3.0% of it's body weight in food daily. That would be roughly 15 to 30 pounds of food for a 1,000 pound horse.
21.85 pounds, not counting the space suit she needs there
for howrse ... 19.8 Answer 2: Horses require anywhere from 1% to3% of their body-weight in feed a day. Going by a strict number such as 2.2 pounds of hay per 100 pounds of body-weight can cause problems if the horse is an easy or hard keeper as it may be too much or too little. However at 2.2 pounds per 100 pounds of body-weight for a 900 pound horse that would equal out to 19.8 pounds of hay a day. ( 2.2 x9=19.8).
Well this would depend on the horses weight. A horse should be fed 1 % up to 3% of it's body weight. Since a Belgian typically weighs between 1800 and 2200 pounds that means the horse could be fed anything from 18 pounds to 66 pounds of feed. With a draft horse it's best to try and start at about 2.5% of the body weight in feed and then adjust up or down from there as needed.
A overweight horse would eat about 20 pounds a day. A normal horse would eat 13 to 17 pounds a day. A under weight horse eat 5 to10 pounds a day.
when you buy a hay bale, give the horse 4 flakes per day. i don't know that 2.2 lbs of hay per 100 lbs of body weight though... that would mean it gets 1980 lbs of hay a day and that is definitely wrong!
