Forage as the Foundation
Hay or pasture should make up the majority of any horse's diet, providing the fiber their digestive systems are built to process continuously.
Grain and Concentrates
Grain or commercial feed supplements energy needs for horses in heavy work, but many easy-keepers do fine on forage alone.
Supplements for Specific Needs
Vitamin, mineral, joint, or coat supplements can fill gaps in a horse's diet, especially for seniors or hard keepers.
Feeding Consistency Matters
Feeding at consistent times and amounts, with any changes introduced gradually, helps prevent digestive upset like colic.
