The 7 Golden Rules Of Feeding Horses

Feeding horses will be part of any horse owner's daily routine, but you must be sure you aren't over feeding, under feeding or giving the wrong food. Ensuring your horse is drinking plenty is vital, especially in the summer months. On average, a horse can drink up to 18 litres of water, and even more on hot days. There are plenty of rules you need to follow when feeding your horse, to ensure they stay healthy and maintain an easy temperament.

Hydration is the number ONE reason why horses get colic. Get them used to eating soaking wet beet pulp (pre soaked). Water be fore feeding, steam or soak hay, do not over rug stabled horses. Vets are being called out to cases of severe dehydration fron sweating from too many rugs.
