Answer-Yes, horses that get more excersise should be fed more than others, just like human athletes have different diets. But you should always be carful with the feed amounts your horse gets, or he could colic. You should check with a vet before confirming your horses diet.

Why did knights need large horses?

Bigger horses were needed because they were stronger and more intimidating. They had to carry around 400 or more pounds becasue the knight was around 150 pounds, and with the tack and armor on both the knight and the horse, it totalled to about at least 400 pounds, probably more like 500 or even 600. Also, bigger horses were more intimidating to foot soldiers. Would you be more scared of a little 13hh pony or a 17hh Fresian?


Is alfalfa good for horses?

Good quality hay can provide most of the nutrients a horse needs. Hay can be grass hay (ex. Timothy) or Legume, more commonly called Alfalfa. Legume hays are much higher in protein than grass hays, although, it should not be the only source of forage for young, growing horses, due to its high Phospherous level. Grass hay and Legume hay mixed is a great choice of forage, other than grass, for horses.


What seasons do horses need blankets?

All seasons-dpending on the horse-depending on the blanket- ___ Answer 2: Horses that are clipped out, have a thin coat, or are less able to regulate their body temperature will need rugging in extreme cold. They may also need a rug during the autumn and spring months. Horses with a more hardy constitution on the other hand may never need a rug. In wet weather some owners choose to use a rain rug to prevent the horse from getting rain scald, and a fly rug in summer to protect from biting flies and insects.
