Horses mainly eat forage foods, such as hay, haylage or grass. Horses doing heavy work, elderly, sick horses or injured horses may need to be fed horse feed(eg.oats, sugar beet, pony nuts etc..) to help gain and keep condition. Amounts that should be fed vary depending on the size, weight and workload of the horse. Always consult a vet or the back of the bag of feed to find out how much to feed your horse. When buying a new horse, you should also check what feed the horses owner has been feeding him and use that feed, gradually switching to a different feed if you so wish.
