Feeds for Horses — Frequently Asked Questions
What is a complete horse feed and when does my horse need one?
A complete feed supplies both fiber and grain nutrition in one bag, so it can replace hay when a horse can't chew or digest long-stem forage well. Senior horses with worn teeth often rely on them. Because forage is built in, complete feeds are fed in larger amounts than plain grain, so always feed by weight and follow the directions on the bag.
What kind of feed is best for a horse prone to laminitis or metabolic problems?
Horses with insulin resistance, Cushing's, or a history of laminitis usually do best on low-starch, low-sugar feeds paired with tested hay. These formulas keep the sugars and starches down while still providing protein, vitamins, and minerals. Soaking hay can lower sugar further. Because needs vary by individual, plan a metabolic horse's diet with your veterinarian.
How do I feed an easy keeper without shorting it on nutrients?
Easy keepers hold weight on very little feed, so calories are simple to overdo. Instead of a fortified grain, many owners use a low-calorie ration balancer or a vitamin-mineral supplement over mostly forage. That fills nutrient gaps without adding excess energy. Weighing hay and using a grazing muzzle help manage intake, and body condition tells you more than the scoop does.
