I’m glad you’re enjoying the nutrition course! Thank you!

Rounds With Doc T – "Horse Hay – What Is It, Why Feed It, And How To Feed It" - 2022 June 27th

Welcome!! Here are some thoughts:
1) as a member, you have access to the nutrition course so dig in!
2) A 17h horse probably weighs about 1200 to 1400 pounds (lb BW). If she has excess body fat and you want to reduce that, feed 1.5% body weight in forage. This rate calculates to be 21 pounds of forage at 1400 lb BW. However, if she is lean… Read more
