Sweet feed is not recommended for young horses. Foals do best on their dams milk until they are weaned, then they do best on good quality hay and a vitamin and mineral supplement. Foals do not need extra hard feeds while growing. As a side note sweet feed should only be fed to horses with no known health issues and that are in work.
