Re: hunters

Hello Keeana,

Most of your horse's diet should come from hay and/or pasture. Then you would add an energy concentrate to provide additional calories. A complete ration would provide extra vitamins and minerals. Rations vary, so you can follow the directions according to your horse's weight and activity level.

All the best,

Dr. Getty
