It depends on the breed of horses, how much exercise it gets and the type of environment your horse is in.
An example is:
If your horse is in a large field by its self with plenty of grass, it might need about a roundbale of good quality hay every two weeks or so. It also wouldn't hurt to have a healthy dose of oats once or twice a week as well. That's summer feeding, when grass and other edibles are available.
In winter, there isn't any grass and the horse literally depends on you for its food. It can eat between 1 and 3 square bales a day and should have at least a scoop of oats very other night. Along with a blanket. If it gets its water from a pond, you will have to break ice for it to get its water.
A horse drinks more water in winter than it does in summer. Why? This is because the horse is working harder to keep its body warm. In summer, a horse doesnt have to work so hard.

∙ 11y agoHorses need a minimum of 1% of their body weight in forage a day.
For a 454kg (1000 lb) horse that would be a minimum of 4.5kg (10 lbs) of hay or grass per day. However, that is the bare minimum of forage to maintain GI health. Horses may need up to 3% of their body weight in forage per day or more to maintain weight and energy for activities such as breeding, showing, etc.
