horse feed plan?
Im getting a horse in a few months and im trying to get a rough feed plan so i can estimate upkeep costs.
Ill probably get a 15.3-16.3 mare or gelding. Possibly a TB
Ill ride for around an hour 5-6 days per week
The horse will be stabled at night and our grazing during the day.
How does this look for the above feed plan.
Morning- 1.5kg Lucerne, 1.5kg pasture hay, 500g barastoc cool command, 500g Econimix, 1kg wheaten chaff, 500g Lucerne Chaff, 10g Cell-Vital.
Night- 2.5kg pasture, 2.5kg lucerne, 500g barastoc cool command, 500g Econimix, 1kg wheaten chaff, 500g Lucerne Chaff, 10g Cell-Vital.
well i have a TB in the ACT and i feed him 2kg of ponys choice chaff which has lucerne chaff, oaten chaff and molasses in it. you should find out what the other owner fed the horse. and dont change the diet of the horse suddenly. but as your horse will be stabled i recomend you feed him the pasture hay.
as i know you live in Canberra from your other question i would like to recommend a cheap food suplier who is myne as well and if you get over 4 things then you will get free delivery.

he has great quality feed at a cheap price. i have found he is one of the cheapest around.
i hope i helped some what.
