How to care and look after a horse?


Aleasha C asked:

Okay, I have a horse. But, I would like some care tips. I’m no expert and just want to make sure I’m doing everything right. What percentage of grains, horse feed, hay, and grass should be in the diet? How often do I need to float the teeth? How often should I worm? How often should I pick the hooves? Any other care tips and advice on horse ownership is appreciated. Thanks!

    Well congratulations, but horse ownership is a lot to explain. You should not have a horse if you do not already no these things. The diet depends on the size, breed, and the amount of exercise the horse is getting. My horse is a throughbred she eats 1 and half scoops sweet feed, and 2 flakes hay twice a day and goes out for about 7 hours. She works with me about 3 times a week. Your vet can help advice for feeding. Floating is done once or twice a year. Worming is every 4 months but depends…Can be everyday if on the supplement or twice a month. Pick hooves everytime you go and see your horse. Any other questions email me I would love to help you.
