HOW TO FEED MY HORSE
We get a lot of questions from people who ask us how much they should feed their horse. There are multiple answers to that questions. The amount of feed a horse requires depends upon his/her weight, breed, age, amount of exercisE etc. etc.
Below are some advices about how much to feed your horse. Exercise level is divided into low, medium and high and body weight into 300 kg, 450 kg and 600 kg.

We also advice to follow the 7 HAVENS Feeding-rules
- Feed your horse (or horses) with small portions regularly. Horses are generally used to be eating 60-80% of their time.
- Don't change the feed or feeding time just at once, make small changes. For example if you want to change from one muesli to the other mix it first like 1/4 and 3/4, the next day 1/2 and 1/2, the next day 3/4 and 1/4 and after that fully the other muesli.
- Feed as much as the horse NEEDS, if it gets too skinny feed it more, if it gets too fat you feed it too much.
- Always feed your horse with enough hay.
- Supply your horse with hay first before you give it muesli or cubes. The chewing provides the mouth with saliva.
- Let the horse rest for at least 1 hour before you ride it after feeding.
- Always provide your horse with fresh water.
NEW:
HAVENS H-Licks Horselicks:
a new 2 kg licking-block for horses with Biotin, flavors and all necessary trace-elements.
Premium Horselicks, made of 96% natural salts, added minerals, important trace-elements, biotin and added sweeteners.
Natural and necessary!
For all living organisms, salts, minerals and trace-elements are of vital importance for the general health and functioning of blood, bodycells and muscles.
Salt and mineral deficiency can lead to lack of appetite, reduced condition, lack of energy, dull or dead appearance and reduced performance. Especially when providing large quantities of (low-mineralised) roughage (or roughage grown in mediteranean or middle east countries), special attention should be paid to avoid deficiencies.
It should also be noted that sporthorses, horses in training and horses living in hot climates have an increased excretion of salts and minerals through sweatening and urine. Extra salts, minerals and trace-elements should be included in the daily ration.
