The proper way depends on several factors, but there are some basics. Always feed by weight rather than volume or the flake and a scoop method. Get an accurate weight reading of your horse and then calculate it's feed based on that. You should feed between 1%-3% of a horses body weight daily. (for a 1,000 pound horse that would be 10-30 pounds of food daily.) Then figure out how heavy it's workload is and if it's a easykeeper or not. A horse in light work or lower should get 100% grass or hay. A horse in moderate or heavier work should probably get some type of pelleted feed.(Follow instructions on the bag.) But never feed less than 50% of the ration as hay/grass. Provide free choice water and salt.
