They say that horses should have between 1% and 3% of their body weight in feed each day right?
How can you calculate how much grass they eat? Impossible?
The field at home has very short grass at the moment as it's winter here in Oz. They really have to work hard to really eat any of it. I top the little horses up with hay twice a day. I don't weigh out the hay, I just fill a tub.
I wanted to do an experiement this weekend and weigh out exactly how much hay it is I'm feeding them and then use the % of body weight calculation to see if they are getting enough.
But - how do I know how much grass is going through their systems??
