Horses require about 2% of their body weight in forage per day. For an average 1,000 lb horse that is 20 lbs of forage per day. When pastures start to shut down for winter and/or grass quality declines from environmental factors, such as a summer drought, army worms, overgrazing, etc, then supplemental options must be provided. ๐พ ๐๐
Itโs an added chore, but necessary. My horses are some of my best friends and they are worth it. ๐ฅฐ
