How much does a horse eat?

 

Horses require up to two per cent of their body weight in quality hay or forage per day. That works out to 20 pounds/4.5 kg of hay per 1,000 pounds/453 kg of body weight. Cold weather calls for increasing that amount by 10 to 15 per cent to allow them to stay warm.

A "square bale" of good hay ranges from 50 to 100 pounds/ 23 kg to 45 kg each, while the larger round bales are approximately 1200 pounds/544 kg each.

 

 


A healthy horse drinks an average of 15 gallons/ 60 litres of fresh water per day. During hot weather, heavy exercise or for nursing mothers, these amounts can double.
