• Daily feed 1%-1,5% of a horse's body weight dry matter forage (which equates to approximately 30 kg to 45 kg of fresh grass or 7.5 kg to 12 kg of hay
• Divide portions of concentrate over several meals, a good aim is 3 times a day
• Use only high quality power supply
• Allow adequate rest time for the horse between each meal
• Feed roughage that is as long as possible (long strands)
• Have your roughage checked for nutritional values
• Weigh your roughage to calculate the exact ration
