Feeding Your Horse What You Need To Know
There is an old Cliché that goes: Show me your horse, and I'll tell you what type of person you are… However should your horse be skinny that would reflect very badly on you.
We took a look at the feeding horses, the psychology behind feeding and the psychosocial effects that feed has on a horse, as well as how the digestive system works. Then threw it all in a mixer to come up with the ultimate guide to feeding or feeding up your horse.
But first some background
Many people consider, or think, that a skinny horse is the result of negligence. This is not always so. Bad horse or stable management more often than not is the root cause.Why do we talk about a skinny horse? Because most people only realize the importance of feeding once their horse starts loosing weight.A skinny horse, or a horse that is loosing weight is warning you that something is not right, that somewhere something has gone wrong and continues to go wrong.There are many reasons why a perfectly healthy horse could go skinny in a matter of a few weeks.
These reasons include
Insufficient nutrition
Medical or physiological conditions
Stress or psychological reasons.
Before attempting to feed up ones horse, you would need to know the reason behind its loss of condition.
Insufficient nutrition includes,
Not enough food,
The wrong food,
The wrong type of food.
No set feeding times or routine.
Medical or physiological It is a proven fact that nothing throws weight off a horse faster than pain, a horse suffering from a painful condition will appear to loose weight overnight, this because pain is either caused by an infection (the horse will have a temperature) which the body is fighting off using all resources available to it or the pain is of such a nature that the horse does not or cannot consume enough food or alternatively digest the food properly. Theses are often confirmed by a vet or dentist and corrected
Medical or physiological reasons include,
Recovery from injury, conditions and illnesses,
Worm infestations,
Stomach ulcers,
Tooth ulcers,
Sharp ridges on the teeth.
Very few realize the psychosocial impact feeding and food has on a horse. How like humans food can alter their moods, and by that we do not mean makes them hot. Food can have a big impact on a horses outlook and behaviour.
We investigated this a little further.
When we think of springtime with our horses (those who are turned out into pastures daily) they appear joyful, playful and well broody. This lasts through summer till about mid-autumn, when the horses become more brooding and prone to arguing and fighting, with them becoming progressively worse in winter.
Seasonal? Not really, horses can be joyfully happy all year round if they did not have their one main concern, concerning them. Food.
Food, or the abundance thereof in spring and summer allows for horses to concern themselves less with finding food, and more with enjoying their time by playing and breeding. From about mid-autumn on food is less plentiful, resulting in the horses becoming less playful and more brooding. Where in winter there is the dread of going without any food so all food must be protected, causing them to fight.
Horses do not know of hay stockpiles and bagged food. Oh they know what they look like! They do not understand the concept behind storing hay and concentrates. Therefore to them hunger and starvation is a real threat even with being stabled and having food brought to them.
Lets look at spring again, to start off the horses eat and eat and eat until well they almost pop, then they slow down. (Remember this it is important) once this stage has been reached life is good.
Now lets look at winter, there is little food and lots of horses that wants to eat it so they eat fast and fight the others off so that they can have it all. The further the winter progresses and the more likely they are to loose weight the more desperate they become to eat more and faster, until blissful spring arrives with its plenty grass again.
Do you still think food does not change or control a horses' mood?
So what is wrong with horse management today?
Most horses today are kept in large numbers on properties often too small for the amount of horses. Most of these horses are fed out of bale and bag, and with the rising cost in feedstuffs many yards have limitations on how much food your horse will receive before charging extra. When taking all this into consideration and the fact that there may be little or no grazing is available. To the horses' system it's starting to sound very much like a natural winter. It is no wonder some horse have the issues they have, and only want to eat (like their starving) when they actually see grass.
Knowing all this, how could you use it to get your horse fat?
Finding the root of the cause as mentioned would be the starting point of. Remember putting weight on a horse is a long time project. There is no quick way to put weight on a horse. Many will claim they have a quick solution, however when the next stressful situation comes along the weight is gone, leaving you to start over again.
When feeding a horse: Getting it fat is expensive, keeping it fat is cheap. This is because a healthy horse does not need much to maintain itself, it only needs what it burns up whilst working. Where a skinny horse has to survive and provide for the energy to do its work.

Spring $9.99 The U.S. debut of leading U.K. author David Szalay, named one of The Daily Telegraph ’s twenty best British novelists under forty James is a man with a checkered past—sporadic entrepreneur, one-time film producer, almost a dot-com millionaire—now alone in a flat in Bloomsbury, running a shady horse-racing-tips operation. Katherine is a manager at a luxury hotel, a job she’d intended to leave years ago, and is separated from her husband. The novel unfolds in 2006, at the end of the money-for-nothing years, as a chance meeting leads to an awkward tryst and James tries to make sense of a relationship where “no” means “maybe” and a “yes” can never be taken for granted. David Szalay builds a novel of immense resonance as he cycles though perspectives that add layers of depth to the hesitations, missteps, and tensions as James tries to win Katherine. James’s other pursuit is money, and Spring follows his investments and schemes, from a half share in a thoroughbred to a suit-and-tie day job he’s taken to pay the bills. Spring is a sharply tuned novel so nuanced and precise in its psychology that it establishes Szalay as a major talent. |
