I use hay. It depends on how old your horse is on how much much you give them. My horse is 3 and I give 3 flakes, my sister's is 8 and she gives him four, but it depends on your preference

Depends on how big the pasture is, how many horses. If there are more horses than year round forage, I'd suggest hay. It also depends on what grows in your pasture? Any alfalfa or timothy? Those are really good for the horse(s).

How much does a thoroughbred eat?
The amount of concentrate a horse requires has generally got nothing to do with its breed (although obviously a Thoroughbred will need more than a Shetland pony.) Provided that there is sufficient forage, a horse that is left to its own devices and not ridden or worked does not need concentrates unless the forage is of poor quality. The amount of concentrates will increase proportionate to the amount of work it does. A Thoroughbred racehorse or eventing horse in full work and training will need a lot of concentrate to fuel those massive muscles. I'll look up a forage/concentrate ratio and post it here later.
