Watch the horse closely, provide plenty of water and call your veterinarian. Too much grain or concentrated feed (pellets etc) at one time can cause a horse to founder or colic. Call the veterinarian with the amount eaten and when and they will either give you instructions or come out to treat the horse.

What is Appaloosa horse diet?
A horse's diet is based more on his activity level, age, and metabolism then his breed. I have an Appaloosa used for trail riding. He eats hay twice a day, and gets a small amount of grain once a day (mainly just to mix in his garlic supplement). If an Appaloosa was used for racing, however, his grain ration would be much higher.

Hard to catch horse?
yes horse are very hard to catch depending on attitude. some horse just stand still some bite and kick good luch. Some other ways to catch a horse are if you get a bucket of oats, grain and treats. when you have your halter, hid it behind your back so that he can't see it. Call the horse and shake that grain bucket. once he comes, let him sniff the grain, and the slip the lead rope around his neck so he can't run away, then put the halter on. Don't give him a treat until after, so he knows once he has the halter on he gets rewards, not before. Be quiet and gentle. Also try some trust activities, it worked wonders when my horse wouldn't catch. Remember never to let your horse get away with it. :)

How often do you clean your horse?
You muck out your horse's stall once a day, and twice a day in the summer (because of more insects/parasites.) You give your horse a full grooming at least once a day. You don't groom your horse as much if he/she lives outside, because you don't want to remove the natural coat oils that keep the horse warm. Keep your horse healthy and happy!!! : )
How much should a little Arabian horse be fed?
Feeding horses is a tricky subject and is something that you should usually consult somebody on if you are not sure. Not only should your horse be given hay during the day (at most places 2 flakes AM, 2 flakes PM -- plus turnout), but any active horse should also have grain included in its feeding regimen. Grain feeding also varies by horse depending on how much the horse is being worked and big your horse is. Usually, if you don't want to consult with someone, you can go off the feeding instructions on the grain that you are feeding. Just make sure that you are feeding enough (but not too much). Feedings should be split into at least two sessions because horses were not meant to take in large amounts of food at once and over-eating can cause colic. If you see that your horse is getting a little fat you can either decrease the amount of food, or up it's exercise to match the food that you are feeding. If your horse is losing weight (or not gaining enough) than try adding more feed to its feedings. As for a go off of though, one of the smaller Arabians at the barn got 2lbs in the morning and 2lbs at night, plus its hay and turn-out, but he was a show horse and was on a tight training schedule, so your horse may require less.
