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).

∙ 14y agoEvery horse is a little different. Work load, metabolism and other factors figure into how much feed a horse needs every day to maintain a healthy weight. But for an average sized horse in good health and parasite free will probably eat 3 to 4 flakes a day or about 12 lbs. (flakes as in hay) Finding the feeding program that works best for your horse can be a trial-and-error type of situation. Keep an eye on how your horse is looking from day to day. You don't want him to lose too much weight or get too fat from over-feeding.

Well this would depend on the horses weight. A horse should be fed 1 % up to 3% of it's body weight.

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.

Why is there a 45 pound weight in a gym?
Instead of adding a 25 pound weight, and then 2 ten pound weights, it would be much easier to add a 45 pound weight. A 45 pound weight is standard in every gym, and not everyone can lift 10 more pounds if there was a fifty pound weight (five extra pounds on each side totals to 10 more pounds to lift).
