Feeding Directions

Start with the amounts given for the weight and class of horse. After observing the horse, the amount fed may be increased or decreased by 10% to maintain the desired body condition.  Changes in the rate of feeding should not exceed one pound per day for each horse.  Always feed a minimum of 1% of body weight of good quality, clean hay or pasture.  Salt should always be fed free-choice to all horses.
