Feeding Directions
- The following feeding directions are guidelines to maintain desired body condition and performance. Feeding rates need to be adjusted according to the horse's condition and training or competition schedule. Split the recommended level into two or more feedings each day.
| Weight of Horse | Maintenance | Light Work |
| 800lb | 10-12lb | 12-14lb |
| 1,000lb | 12-14lb | 14-16lb |
| 1,200lb | 14-16lb | 16-18lb |
- Start feeding at the lower level and adjust to maintain the desired body condition. Feed requirements to maintain body condition may vary considerably due to individual differences. Use a weight tape and regular body condition scoring to make sure the horse is maintaining the desired condition. Pay close attention to actual body conditions when horses have longer hair coats.
- If hay is used, the amount of feed may be reduced by 1 lb. for each 1.5 to 2.0 lb. of hay fed. Reduce feeding rate if pasture is available.
- If your horse has severe dental problems, Nutrena Life Design Senior® horse feed may be soaked with warm water to form a mash. The mixture should soak for five to eight minutes until it reaches the consistency your horse prefers.
- Provide plenty of fresh, clean water at all times. Salt should be available free-choice.
