Horses are natural grazers and eat steadily throughout the day, rather than feasting on one or two larger meals at certain times. If your horse is kept in a field then left to its own devices it will feed on the grass. However a horse kept in a stable or loose box is obviously unable to follow its natural feeding pattern and so It is important to maintain as much as possible, this pattern of eating. To ensure you are feeding your horse correctly, it is advisable to buy a specially formulated horse feed.
There is an overwhelming choice of horse feeds available on the market. As well as the many different brands of horse feed, there is a huge variety of types of horse feed. You can buy grains which usually contain a mix of barley, oats, corn and wheat. Pellet mixes are made from a grain base with added nutritional supplements, and you can also buy complete supplement mixes, which can be added to a basic grain mix or fed in small amounts for a nutritional boost. Each basic type of horse feed is available in many forms, depending on your horses age, lifestyle and general condition.
Feeding your horse a top quality diet will contribute towards a healthy life.

Animal Nutritionalists work to provide your horse with a good all round diet.

When planning your horses diet, you must take care to ensure that you feed your horse the right type of food, and the right quantities. In order to do this successfully, you must take into account its living conditions, its age and its lifestyle. A horse living in a paddock will tend to spend a lot of its time eating grass and you will not need to add roughage to its diet. Also, you will probably need to feed it less than a stable kept horse that is exercised frequently.
In Buying a top quality horse feed such as Top Spec Horse Feed, you can put your mind at rest, knowing that your horse is receiving a well balanced and healthy diet.
