How Much Feed Does Your Horse Need?
Determining the correct amount of feed begins with understanding the specific needs of your horse. Always consult with your veterinarian about this. Once you know what your horse requires, you can choose the type of feed and decide when and how much to feed.
The required amount depends on factors such as your horse’s weight and its activity level. Naturally, a recreational horse needs less concentrated and roughage feed than a sport horse that trains several times a week. Your veterinarian can provide valuable advice here.
Our automatic feeding systems help you deliver precisely the right amount of feed at any desired time—day or night. This ensures a consistent feeding pattern, which calms your horse and leads to more relaxed eating moments. Smaller portions are also better digested, while excess feed only places unnecessary stress on the digestive system.
Horses that spend a lot of time in the stable particularly benefit from regular feeding times and engagement to prevent boredom. With thoughtful health management, you can significantly reduce behavioral issues, eating disorders, and health complaints.
Do you find it difficult to let go of feeding your horse because it’s also a special bonding moment? Fortunately, you don’t have to. You can continue sharing this personal feeding time with your horse, perfectly combining it with an automatic feeding system. This way, your horse is also supported when you’re not there—with a positive effect on health.
