Wow, your completely self taught. That's just how I am. I do not have a horse yet, but I'm learning everything I can completely on my own, no help from anyone - which would be helpful but oh well... You seem quite experienced for someone who learned on your own. Great job👍
Well sadly I spoke to soon lol we had everything ready but it turned out she had a bit of attitude which is not good for a person with their first horse! So we are not getting her now but we are looking for a pony now! But thanks for checking out on me :)
I appreciate this video.. we have been wanting horses for years and we are getting closer to that goal. My daughter has been taking lessons for 5 years (starting with dressage and moving to western) and we have learned so much but there is still much to learn.
@@moldybandshirt1045 yes, my horse has severe conjunctivitis and apparently is partly blind, but I don't let that stop it, I'm still training him to be the best race horse he can be, i train him atleast four hours a day!
@@vLyka oh thats so good for you, I feed my horse the best, he usually eats with me at the table, our favourite meal is hotdogs in batter dipped in mayo
I just got my horse not too long ago, she had absolutely no training to what the owner said, we sent her to the trainer for 3 months, now 2 months in, I’m super excited!
Cool, thanks. I'm visiting family and I'm taking care of all of the animals including the horses. I just wanted to make sure I'm not doing anything wrong when feeding them. Thanks!
Thank you for this video! I’m going to get a horse in the near future and I was worrying and overthinking about what exactly the horse should eat and how much. Your vid sums it up well ☺️
My third cousin has a horse rescue really under weight it has long hooves and they feed him corn and other grains AND SOME hay! The water is nasty brown the stall is mud he is thirty six they had him for six years and the owner I think does not put all lot of attention but he does have a pasture
Your videos have helped me have more hope for being able to afford my own horse one day, thank you! Would it be fine to have a pasture boarded horse and feed them hay, some grain here and there, and give them a salt block? Also, if I was to keep my horse in a pasture and not a stall, would I need some sort of shelter for them in case it rains? Thank you so much!
Emily Menton Absolutely! If the horse is an easy keeper and stays fat easily i would stick to just grass hay though. And yes, its a good idea to have some sort of shelter to get into away from the sun or bad weather if there is no trees!
Hi! This was very informative, thank you! I have a question , how many cups of feed do you recommend me feeding a fully grown quarter horse? Thanks for any feed back! You've helped me so much, thank you:) 🌈
Hey Michaela. Great video as always but when I looked at the title I realized horse is spelled wrong. Now I don’t really care cause I knew what you meant but I just wanted to let you know just Incase you wanted to change it. Can’t wait for the next video. Bye.
What do you do if every bone shows threw the skin that’s skinny and was a rescue that have been with new owners for six years and gets a small bucket of grain a day? And gets very little hay but has pasture
So overwhelmed with this person says feed this that person say feed that. I am currently feeding Triumph . She has pasture except now that winter is here. She is 11 and a very fat Quarter Horse. I feel guilty when I dont give her grain is it just me thinking OMG she needs to be fed. You have helped me understand my mind better as to what her needs are not mine. Thank you for the not being guilty if I dont feed her that day . I ride almost every day but now that winter is here she is stalled more and just getting some hay.
Hello! I don’t know if anyone will reply because this was posted awhile ago but I had a question.. How often do they go outside? Sorry if it confusing but I can find a video of this anywhere! Do I like take them in a night and take them back out in the morning? Idk but thank you for this vid helped me a lot! ☺️
As much time outside as possible! Mine are out 24/7. Horses are instinctually designed to graze grass throughout the day and walk/run outside. However, if your horse needs separate feed or grain away from the other horses, you could certainly bring them inside at night and let them back out in the morning :)
We rescued a horse today.She’s thin but not bad.What should we give her.She’s grazing in the pasture right now.She’s blind in one eye and was going to slaughter in 4 days.She’s sweet for sure.
It won't hurt them, but it depends what grain you're feeding. Just oats? No big deal. But, if its a processed grain pellet such as Purina or Buckeye, they are more designed to be fed daily. You won't hurt your horse but you may not see as good of results.
Ok I was just wondering how many square bales of hay does two horses need to make it through the winter when they have 7 acres to feed on all the time? I like your videos all thanks for all the help!
im trying to figure out the average cost for every week and month so i can save up for a horse (my parents are buying my actual horse) but my dream horse is a tennessee walker so what would i need to feed it? i want a gelding if that helps at all
I would feed a Tennessee walker sweet feed hi fiber hay and oats or rolled oats!!that is what I feed my two Tennessee Walker geldings! It is a great feed for them. Around $200-$300 a month!! Pls vet bill and annual vet visits twice a month
Oh and the stall is only a little muddy but no bedding but I told her to at least to put some straw down he also has a fan and yeah but the water is nasty But I did tell them that he needs a small hoove trim one is a little bit long than the rest only three inches from the main hoove he is full of energy the food grain has corn and a mix of grain they don’t know but he does look happy but annoyed with the flys and has has an acre pasture with some trees to they do feed him a lot of carrots and apples I do need to tell them the senior grain alfalfa and go easy on the grain add oats and a hoove trim along with cleaner water every day along with some straw bedding but I don’t think they want to clean up manure in the straw and add fresh one but they will need to feed him more hay I do need to tell them about the salt cause he does not have that my neighbor has horses that are very pretty I need to ask him what he takes care of them and then I will tell my cousin she may need to do a little bit more work and stuff but yeah thanks for the tips 😊
Jeremy Gilreath it definitely wont hurt. We like horses to drink as much as possible in unfavorable conditions so that they keep their gut moving and dont colic. Lots of horses colic in the winter so extra salt to encourage them to drink wont hurt!
Hey I don’t know if anyone will reply but my question is that if you have a 1500 pound horse how many pounds of grain should you feed in the morning, and at night?
If you haven't already figured it out you'll have to loom at your bag and it'll usually say ×lbs per hundred lbs of horse, so you gotta do some math and it's kinda confusing but basically find that and then split it in half for your morning and evening feed
Do you think that my horse would need sweet feed? He’s very skinny and I’m able to see his hips, some of his ribs and he has like no flesh on his face almost. He’s also a senior horse so do you think I could mix it with the senior horse feed? ❤❤
I would start by putting him on a quality feed with at least 14% protein. Senior feed can be great for weight building as well. I use Nutrena Proforce Fuel for my skinny ones, if it’s available in your area i would definitely recommend. But otherwise, something 14% protein.
What an awesome video. You certainly helped me lots. I haven’t worked with horses in over 20 years. I just purchased a farm that came with a 31 year old Appaloosa. Her coat is not in the best condition. I feel that she needs more weight. The previous owners told us to feed her once a day which consists of sweet feed, alfalfa pellets and hoof supplement. She drinks from the creek and grazing in the pasture. Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks 😊
Definitely feed her more than once a day. Just like us, its hard on the body and needs more than that. Does she have teeth? That’ll affect what she can eat easily. Add healthy coat oil or even just veggie oil from the store to add fats and help her coat!
@@MTHorses Thank you for your reply. She doesn’t have but a few teeth left from what I could see and from what the previous owner told me. Her hooves are all chipped up as well. I just feel so awful and honestly from what the previous owners said was that they were letting nature takes it’s course, due to her age. 😞 It just breaks my heart. She is so smart and pretty and just wanting love. I want to give that to her and do the very best I can for her during the time she is with us. (Her name is Glory ❤️ 🐴)
@@jackiesoto83 lots a grain and soaked alfalfa pellets or cubes will be easier for her to eat then. Still offer her some hay for roughage, even if she doesnt eat it all. A pedicure for her feet will be much easier on her joints! Thats to bad. Nature taking its course, and neglect are very different things.
@@MTHorses Thank you again for your advice. I am right there with ya about nature taking its course and neglect. I’ll get her back to health in no time and hope to have her for a bit longer. She is truly a sweet girl.
Angel Ortiz There are lots of mare & foal feeds, and feeds designed specifically for growth. We used to feed Purina Growth at our barn to our yearlings until they were about 3, and then were switched to the performance feeds.
Ok but the bucket is like a regular bucket but it’s about six inches down size and he is thirty six but he is getting better than six years ago that’s when he was a living skeleton now he is just skinny but improving I like to study animals and tell the proper care bye thanks !

Me: *why am I here and I don’t even have a horse*
I realize Im pretty off topic but does anyone know a good website to watch new movies online ?
@Blake Conner i would suggest flixzone. Just search on google for it =)
@Saul Justice Yea, I've been using Flixzone for since march myself :)
@Saul Justice thanks, I signed up and it seems like a nice service :) Appreciate it!!
@Blake Conner Happy to help xD

11 minutes in and you have covered everything I need to know so far. Again. Thank you! 👍
Whew! Love this video. I was stressing about what to feed but you encouraged me to have hope ❤

Some of the best info yet I've needed. Thank you
Nice post. Im glad that youve erased the doubts and provided with helpful information.
I might be getting a horse soon so this was extremely helpful!!
The quarter horse breathing air getting fat is soo accurate 💀
This was super helpful as I’m getting my own horse in July!
Thats great! what kind?
@@jonaswagoner8585 he’s a 15hh TB gelding
Both my horses stay fat on orchard grass but before a cold night I give them a scoop of grain to keep them warm.
jessepitt long stemmed fiber actually has been proven to keep horses warmer than any grain even if it’s just alfalfa pellets or hay pellets🙃
Veronica Selz Good to know, thanks!
Your explanation is very binifet thank you very much

Well my neighbor has 5 horses and has owned them for 15 years so she recommends 4 quarts.
Feeding rate goes by weight and activity level. Simply read the directions on your feed bag.
@@yeahok2790 Thank you:)
I recommend 6 pounds of feed per feed, two scoops every morning and night
Haha relax is like the number one rule here😂

Hi do you need to feed your horse when you’re horse Before and After riding?
So overwhelmed with this person says feed this that person say feed that. I am currently feeding Triumph . She has pasture except now that winter is here. She is 11 and a very fat Quarter Horse. I feel guilty when I dont give her grain is it just me thinking OMG she needs to be fed. You have helped me understand my mind better as to what her needs are not mine. Thank you for the not being guilty if I dont feed her that day . I ride almost every day but now that winter is here she is stalled more and just getting some hay.
Absolutely! If she is fat she is probably just fine if she isnt doing intense work. If she needs more her body will show it and tell you.
thx for the info dear❤️

Thank you
Ok so I’ve been noticing that my horse has been having trouble getting up so should I give her a joint supplement
Ask your vet
How old is she??
Anything in the teens and over I’d put him or her on a tiny scoop of coseoquinn once a day
What's the name of the balancer pelleted grain you showed called?
thanks really helpful
How do you feed the grain? Do you stick it together or just throw it in their feeder?
Yes just in a pan or in their feeder
Will a horse over eat if you leave food out? Do we need to ration it?
If they arent used to having 24/7 food they might. Likely just a belly ache is all that will happen, but they will learn to pace their eating.
Thanks for helping us.i am from Pakistan, unfortunately we don't have these mixed feeds ,can you please helps us to mix grains,
My dad has always said that a horse needs salt worse in the winter help to make them drink more ??

Ask a nutritionist or vet. Every horse has different needs. Is your fat, underweight, does he has cushions ems. Get advise if your not sure

You talk too much
So I think that’s the point to talk and present information. 🤷♀️
How would she explain if she didn't talk?🙄
