The general rule is anywhere from 1.5 to 2.0 percent of a horse's body weight per day to maintain an idle horse. This would be 15 to 20 pounds per day for a 1000 pound horse. The amount varies as some horses will require more or less feed based on individual metabolic differences and activity levels.
