Good conditioning, care and nutrition are also pertinent to your horses well being and capabilities, especially Show Horses, who are really equine athletes. For sound horse development, a special nutritional program is formulated for each horse in training based on the newest National Research Council Sixth Revised Edition 2007 report, Nutrient Requirements of Horse. Their age, weight, amount of work and growth is consider. The three sources of energy ( carbohydrates, fats, protein ) can be adjusted for athletic performance, behavior and health.
1. What is the Daily Nutrient Requirements for each horse being fed? (work level, weight, growing, age)
2. What nutrients and amounts are being provided to the horse from hay and/or pasture?
3. Provide a concentrate or ration balancer to make up for the missing or low nutrient amounts in the diet.
