Feeding:
Draft horses are big eaters. They will consume about twice as much as other horses They can easily eat about 25 to 50 pounds of hay a day, plus about 5 pounds of concentrated feed if they are being exercised.
Housing:
Because of their size, the draft horse needs a very large stall if kept inside. They need more room than other horses, for example a 24' x 24' stall would be the minimum size for a Clydesdale. If kept indoors they need to be turned out into a paddock daily.They will do very well in a pasture or on dry lot.
Ailments:
Most Draft horses are easy keepers. They are not particularly prone to health problems. Good grooming is essential, however, as their coats can get heavy in cold climates. Also the hair around their ankles can attract bacteria in the soil, making them susceptible to "scratches" or pododermititis. This problem is more prevalent in horses that are subjected to wet muddy conditions for extended periods of time. Horses with white feet seem also to be more susceptible to scratches.
