CORRECT FEED RATIONS

In order to calculate a suitable feed ration, you must first find out how much the horse weighs. This is not always easy to do if you do not have acess to a scale. Some people take the opportunity of weighing their horse when they are at a clinic but there are also different formulas that can be used to calculate a horse’s weight.

One way of assessing whether the energy in your horse’s present feed ration is in line with your horse’s needs – or is giving too much or too little energy – is to determine your horse’s body condition.
