SW KS, near Dodge City | Unless they're riding it extensively.
And by extensively, I mean multiple hours a day, several, or maybe every, day of the week.
Corn will simply provide to much energy that the horse doesn't need. Just leads to behavioral problems w/ the animal.
Talk to a local vet/nutritionist & have your hay tested, then if it doesn't meet what the nutritionist thinks the horse needs, supplement it per the nutritionist.
Horses are the most over fed, under worked animal out there. Had horses for a lot of years that survived on buffalo grass and not much else. They sure seemed to have plenty of energy and maintained condition very well. | |
