FEEDING INSTRUCTIONS
Feed horses at a minimum rate of 1.5% of body weight per day.
For horses that have dental problems or for horses that aggressively consume their feed, it is recommended to be fed wet, soaked in water for 30 minutes or until properly softened.
Standlee suggests that pelleted and cubed forage not be the sole source of forage since feeding some long-stem forage (hay) may help prevent boredom.
