oats and corn

Oats, corn, and barley are popular grains used in equine diets. They arean excellent source of protein, vitamins, minerals, fat and concentrated calories. However, the horse's digestive system needs a delicate balance to keep it happy - If he is an easy keeper, has no health issues and is on good quality forage he will not need grain. Just a salt lick for the field/ stable, fresh water, forage, and maybe a vitamin supplement is all he needs.
