∙ 13y agoIn general, Haflingers are easy-keepers, meaning they don't need a lot to survive. Your 900 lb Haflinger could eat about a flake in the morning and a flake at night. I have a 820lb Haflinger mare, and she is fed 1 flake morning and night, and she is in the best shape of her life. I am also working her consistently.
Also, Haflingers easily gain excess weight off sugary feeds and too much hay. Be careful what you feed your horse and make sure to exercise as much as possible!
As for grain, they can do without the sugary, protein-rich processed grains you buy at the store. Many are in great condition on just beet pulp and hay stretcher. Canola oil also helps their coat stay very shiny and healthy.
But, as with anything, ask your vet before changing your horse's feed. Ask what type of food he needs depending on his build and work schedule.

∙ 14y agoThere are several factors that will help you decide how much to feed your horse. What is your horse's job. A gymkana horse will certainly burn more calories than a 'pasture potato'. If he gets regular exercise but doesn't run barrels for a living he will probably do fine on 3 to 4 flakes of hay a day. A good oat hay or a mixture oat/alfalfa or oat/grass hay is a good place to start. Finding a feeding program for your horse is not an exact science. It's trial and error. Keep a close watch on his weight until you find a program that suits him the best. Not all horses need grain. A good all-round or COB (corn, oats, barley) grain in moderation is a good middle ground to start with. Don't forget that good feed won't do your horse much good if he is not on a good deworming program.
