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.
Adding a commercially fortified feed will offer some vitamin E to your horse s diet -- the average feed contains 150 IU or less per pound. Therefore to obtain the same 1100 IUs as from healthy pasture, you would need to feed more than 7 pounds of feed per day an amount too high for most horses.orses that graze on pasture usually get all the vitamin E they need. Fresh grass contains approximately 110 IUs of vitamin E per kg of dry matter. If your 1100 lb (500 kg) horse spends all day on a healthy field of grass, a generalized level of consumption would be 22 lbs (10 kg) of dry matter each day.
