fiber for the endurance and
racehorse requirements
Until more research is done on the wild horse diet no one can really say exactly what
we should be feeding our horses. Until then we have some safety guidelines for you
below so you can determine just how much of which feeds you will need to ensure
your horse the most natural diet you can offer to him. Corn and oats are a natural
choice as well as free choice orchard grass or other grass type hays. Any supplements
should be given with reserve and only after a deficiency has been determined. A free
choice loose 1:1 mineral should be offered as well as plain white salt at all times.

Below is a daily requirements chart that I've cross referenced with the National
Research council. This chart will help you determine if your horse is meeting the
bare minimum- vitamin and mineral requirements can be assessed and
supplemented accordingly by using the rations chart at the bottom of the page.

"Good quality hay should be green, leafy. soft and pliable, have no or
comparatively few seed heads, and should be free of mold, dust, noxious
weeds, sticks, wire, blister beetles, poisonous plants or plants with barbed
awns such as foxtail or cheat grass."
