If you believe that horses need grain in their diet to meet their nutritional needs, you are not alone. However, horses should get most of their nutrients from a good quality forage source such as grass, hay, hay pellets, or a complete feed.

Horses generally eat between 1.5-2% of their body weight each day, so an average size 1,000 lbs horse should eat 15- 20 lbs of hay daily. To help fill any nutrient gaps such as essential vitamins or minerals, a ration balancer may be beneficial. Depending on breed, body condition, and exercise level, concentrates may be added in to provide additional energy but are often not needed.

When deciding on what to feed your horse, it is best to invest in high quality forages as the foundation of your feeding plan. You can even have your hay tested to see exactly what nutrients it is providing. Please consult with your veterinarian or an equine nutritionist about your horse's diet before making any major changes, and remember that any changes should be made gradually over time to avoid GI upset.

First trail ride for Doog I think he preferred his life of leisure 🤷‍♀️

05/11/2024

I can not tell you how proud I am of this green team, Kelli Vagasky’s first show since she was in 4-H and it was on a crazy windy day on 3yr old Mr. Wilson at his second show outside ever. They had some struggles in the morning but turned it around for a very nice horsemanship pattern (3rd) and a nice Ranch pleasure class (4). She even got Ben to come along and show. Great job it’s going to be a great summer. Thank you Official Rebel Riders 4H Club for the nice show with good numbers.
