Just would like some opinions on what you would feed these particular horses ..

Types of forage in a diet of a hunter that is hunting 3 days a fortnight in good hunting country?

Riding school horses doing 3 lessons a day 6 days a week?

Thanks

More info really required to give a better answer, both would have access to hay or haylage at all times when stabled and unless out on decent grass have adlib when out as well, the hard feed would depend on condition and energy requirements for the individual, some hunters would be fine on very little feed whereas others require a lot to keep them up to weight but as a start I would use soaked grassnuts, micronised linseed, a supplement for vits/ mins, salt and oats if they needed extra, the RS horses would be on the same to keep things simple, with quantities varying depending on condition and energy.

Age, height, current workload, (You won't be hunting now - its close season) temperament, horse type?.

And I guess out of curiosity - why are you asking? Are they yours?
