Feeding Instructions:
Determine the proper amount according to the horse's age, weight, temperament and work load.
When fed as the sole forage ration, feed 1% - 1.5% of the horses bodyweight per day.
When fed as a supplement, feed 4 to 6 lbs. per day.
When fed as a partial hay replacement, feed on a pound for pound exchange rate.
This feed can be fed in a bucket, in a corner feeder mixed with the daily grain ration or even outside in a feed tub. However you choose to feed, remember to calculate your feed by weight not volume. As a guide, a 5 gallon water bucket packed full with our forage weighs approximately 5 pounds.
*Always make changes to your horse's diet gradually over a period of 7 to 10 days.
