Gain® Feeding Guide

  • Feed by weight and not by volume
  • Feed at the same time each day
  • Adjust quantities fed according to bodyweight, workload and temperament
  • Make any changes to ration over 5-7 days to reduce the risk of digestive upset
  • Provide clean fresh water at all time
  • Provide a salt lick free choice
  • Do not feed to soon before or after exercise
  • Feed good quality forage free from dust and mould
  • Feed at least 1% bodyweight of forage (in dry matter) per day, i.e. 5kg hay (dry matter) for a 500kg horse or provide access to pasture
  • Do not add further vitamin and mineral supplements unless under professional guidance
  • Feed extra electrolytes as required
  • Keep all feeding equipment and utensils clean
  • Follow a good worming programme
  • Check horses' teeth regularly

Note: As each horse's requirements are different, feeding instructions are only intended as a guide. The person entrusted with the feeding of the horses should exercise their own judgement at all times.
