Feeding Tips:

Use the feeding table as a guide for feeding SafeChoice Mare & Foal Horse Feed. Be sure to monitor your horse's body condition closely and adjust the feeding rate as necessary for the desired body condition and activity level.
Feed clean, good quality hay at the rate of 1.0 to 1.75 lb (kg) of hay per 100 lb (kg) of bodyweight per day or the pasture equivalent.
Divide the recommended feeding level into two or more equally spaced feedings per day.
Fresh, clean water should be available at all times, except to hot and tired horses. Always cool down your horse properly before providing free access to water.
Horses should be maintained at a body condition score of 5 or above. Broodmares should have a body condition score of 6 or above prior to foaling.
Salt should be available free choice at all times.

Tips for a Healthy Horse:

All dietary changes should be made gradually over a period of 7-14 days until recommended feeding rates are achieved.
Make certain that horses have adequate forage or pasture available.
Make certain that all horses are on regular parasite control, dental examination and vaccination programs.
Monitor body condition regularly and adjust feed intake as needed.
Store feed properly to prevent exposure to moisture or contamination by insects or other pests.
Never offer moldy hay or feed to horses.
