Feeding Guide For Work Horse Mix
A daily ration should contain a mixture of roughage, that is hay, chaff, Fibre Plus and or pasture and grains or concentrates.
The minimum roughage intake should be approximately 1% of your horse’s bodyweight. A horse doing light work really only needs a diet of good quality roughage and minimal grain. The more work they do, the more you need to increase the grain content of their diet to cater for their increased energy requirement.
ALWAYS HAVE A PLENTIFUL SUPPLY OF FRESH, CLEAN WATER AVAILABLE.
