Answer 2

It depends on the horses weight and activity levels.

A horse not being ridden only needs pasture/hay.

horses in light work also only need pasture or hay.

horses in moderate work can be feed 25%-40% of their ration in grains.

horses in heavy work can be fed 40%-50% of their ration in grains.

Oats are typically fed rolled, bruised, or crushed.But may be fed whole, though some say they don't digest properly when fed this way.

They are energy giving and contain fiber.But too much can make a horse excitable"hot".
