GENERAL PRACTICAL FEEDING GUIDELINE
- General feeding advices for improvement of nutritional efficiency to satisfy the physiological requirements of the horses.
- Since the horse’s stomach is small, its need of solid food is limited. For this reason, rations should be offered in small amounts 3-4 times daily.
- Feed should be offered first and then dry clover.
- Growing foals need more nutrition than a grown horse in order to build its body tissues. A pregnant and lactating mare needs more protein and minerals.
- Avoid offering moist or rotten feed. Many breeders offer washed barley, that is moist and this causes fermentation in the animal’s stomach leading to pain and indigestion and probably death.
- Avoid sudden changes in the horse’s feed. When necessary, change should happen gradually within a week’s time.
- Feeding should be offered to each horse separately. In order to know the preferences of each horse, and to be able to discern any change to the horse’s appetite or feeding behavior. As food quantity consumed is an indicator of health problems.
- Concentrated feeds must not be offered immediately after or before physical exertion.
- Food and drinking troughs should be always clean.
- Teeth should be regularly examined, at least once a year.
- Feet and hooves should be regularly examined.
- Each horse should take its share of exercise and training.
- Ensuring that clean, sweet water is provided must never be overlooked. Be sure to monitor its quality and temperature, as well as its quantity. Bearing in mind that the need for water varies according to the weather, type of training and the type of feed.
- Do not offer feed by hand, this method will teach the horse to bite.
- Your horse should receive a yearly inoculation against flu, rhinopneumonia, tetanus and Rabies.
- Stables should be cleaned and disinfected several times a year, in order to fight bacteria, viruses and fungi.
