How Can I Feed A Horse Needing Weight Management In A Herd? - The Horses Stable

Описание: How Can I Feed A Horse Needing Weight Management In A Herd? Managing a horse’s weight within a busy herd can be a complex task, especially when some horses need to stay lean while others are at a healthy weight. In this video, we’ll cover effective strategies for feeding horses that require weight management in a herd setting. We’ll discuss how to choose the right forage-based diets, including low-energy grasses like Timothy and Bermuda hay, which support digestion and natural grazing behaviors. You’ll learn the importance of avoiding lush pasture or haylage, as they tend to be higher in calories. We’ll also explain how to analyze hay to determine its energy content and how to measure feed accurately by weight to ensure proper portioning. Managing social dynamics is key, so we’ll share tips on creating separate feeding stations or using hay nets and slow feeders to prevent dominant horses from monopolizing food. Additionally, we’ll highlight the benefits of splitting daily forage into smaller meals, limiting high-calorie concentrates, and incorporating safe exercise routines to help maintain a healthy weight. Providing fresh water and salt is essential for overall health, and using forage balancers can supply necessary vitamins and minerals without adding calories. Regularly monitoring your horse’s condition and making gradual adjustments will help keep them healthy and content. Join us to learn how to keep your herd balanced and your horses happy.
