With your horse's estimated body weight and condition score in hand you now have what you need to move on towards assessing their diet. In this episode we discuss:
- how to determine what your horse's minimum forage intake should be each day
- how to determine their actual forage intake
- the importance of weighing everything that you are feeding your horse
- how to use the feeding directions on bagged feed along with body weight and condition to determine if you are feeding the correct kind of concentrate feed
- the kinds of changes to consider making if things aren't what they should be
- and so much more!
