Match Feed to Workload
A horse in light work needs far less energy-dense feed than one in heavy training — overfeeding a lightly worked horse is a common mistake.
Body Condition Scoring
Regularly assessing body condition on a standard scale helps catch weight gain or loss early, before it becomes a larger health issue.
Fueling Performance Safely
Performance horses need careful attention to electrolytes and hydration, especially during heavy training or hot weather.
Adjust Gradually With Fitness
As a horse's fitness improves, feed and workload should be adjusted gradually together, rather than in sudden jumps.
