1 Accustom horses to feed gradually. 2  In general, they maybe given as much hay as they will eat. 3  It is safe to start horses on 1/2 pound of grain daily for each hundred pound's of the animal's weight. 4  Thereafter, 1/2 pound of grain added to the total ration every third day is advisable.
Because horses have small stomachs, they should be fed little portions multiple times a day. The ideal is to feed your horse three to four times per day (for grain) but you caâ¦n get away with two times. With hay, it is best to have their hay put in a slowfeeder and let them eat it over the course of the day.
