Feeding Directions

Description

Feeding Directions With Hay Or Pasture. Start With The Amounts Given For The Weight And Lifestyle Of The Horse. After Observing The Horse For A Period Of Time, The Amount Fed May Be Increased Or Decreased By 10% To Obtain The Desired Body Condition And Weight.

*This Is The Recommended Minimum Amount Of Hay To Be Fed. If Feeding More Hay, Reduce The Feeding Rate Of Miniature Horse And Pony Feed By 0.5 Lb For Every Pound Of Additional Hay Feed. Example Using The Chart Above, If Feeding 7 Lb Instead Of 6 Lb Of Hay To A 500 Lb Light Working Pony, Reduce Miniature Horse And Pony Feed Offered By 0.5 Lb From 3.3 To 2.8 Lb Per Day.

**Do Not Feed Less Than 0.3 Lb Per 100 Lb Of Body Weight Per Day. Example A 200 Lb Miniature Horse Has Two 100 Lb Increments (200 Divided By 100 = 2). So For This Horse, Do Not Feed Less Than 0.6 Lb Per Day (2 X 0.3 = 0.6 Lb Per Day). If Your Horse Gains Too Much Weight At That Minimum Feeding Rate, Then You Should Replace Miniature Horse And Pony Feed With Enrich Plus Ration Balancing Feed Or WellSolve W/C Horse Feed.

***If Foal And Mare Are Fed Together, Increase The Amount Offered By 0.25 Lb Per Month Of Age (of The Foal) Per Day For Miniature Horses, And 0.5 Lb Per Month Of Age (of The Foal) Per Day For Ponies.
