Feeding horses
If you’re looking to learn how to feed a horse, you’re in the right place. We all want our horses to be in tip top condition, so getting your feeding right is key. While all horse owners will be familiar with the basic rules of feeding, expert advice from equine nutritionists can make a real difference.
From forage analysis and how to make your own hay, to advice on how to feed your horse most effectively during the winter months, Horse & Hound’s experts offer advice on all challenges around feeding horses. We also run occasional live web chats with feeding experts, so look out for more of these in future.
