how many feeds per day do you give?

[asbo]

when we move yards at the end of January i am going to take the total amount of feed my 2 get per day & split into 3 feeds as i will be able to pop in at lunchtime to feed

how many do you feed per day?

 

[KatB]

Once. He has hay and hayledge overnight, Hayledge in the field and then one hard feed in the evening after being worked.

 

[peanut]

Morning and evening feeds consisting of Alpha-A Oil, Speedibeet and Top Spec balancer. Plus hay or haylage as there isn't much grass left.

 

[madhector]

Twice a day, breakfast and then an evening feed when he goes to bed, my lunchtimes are so random that it would be very confusing if I fed him 3 feed a day.

 

[samp]

3 times a day, there is always someone around to lunch. This is handy ad mine gets a fair amount of food

 

[checkmate1]

2 a day, feedbalancer and chaff, and some alfa-beat in the evening feed. Hay at night in stable, and usually hay in field if there is no grass!! (this is my unbacked 3-year old).

 

[sea_view]

Twice - breakfast and dinner - alfa senior, 16+ mix, sugar beet and some codliver oil - with a haynet and hay rack at night and a haynet tied outside in the morning. This is for my 24yr old and a teeny tiny pinch of chaff and a leaf of hay for my Shettie. x

 

[Halfstep]

When he's in all day he gets three. Otherwise two. Same amount of feed overall though.

 

[miller]

3 times, brekkie, tea and supper - ours are at home so get last feed at 10:30-11:00 ish

 

[Selkie]

Fed twice and haylage topped up at bedtime

 

[Stoxx]

In the summer he generally gets 2 a day, morning and afternoon. In the winter he has 3 a day as he needs to consume more food to keep his weight on and I don't like to feed huge feeds in one go, also he stands in all winter so it breaks his day up a bit.

 

[Northhorse]

One at night when they come in, but they are out all day. If they have to stay in with bad weather they get four - morning, lunch, tea and supper - but they are very spoilt!!

 

[dunthing]

I probably have the only lean highland in the uk. He gets a feed morning and evening as does daughters TB. the smaller ones get a single handful of molichaff. Others have small scoop pasture mix, large double handful molichaff and one scoop sugar beet. They have lots of haylage too as they are all out 24/7 with access to open stables for shelter. TB can't be stabled as he has a dust allergy and the others don't want to be in.

 

[pottamus]

One per day and that is only 3 handfuls of chaff for fatties to put his supplement into!

 

[Christmas Crumpet]

Twice a day - scoop mix, scoop pony cubes, sugarbeet & double handful of molichaff. Out all day with big haynet at night in stable.

 

[JessPickle]

Twice a day- scoop chaff, 1/2 scoop mix, 1/4 scoop sugarbeet. Out all day and a big haynet at night

 

[CateMMH]

Three times a day (but I am at home and they're here too so it's easy). 7am is breakfast, 1pm is lunch and finally 7pm Supper (lol). They get the correct amount just over 3 meals so they're not getting more but in the winter they love having lunch and breaks their day up a bit

. Haylage overnight.

 

[__Annie__]

Oct-Apr: Twice
Rest of year: once

 

[chestnut cob]

Just one, in the evening, but then again I don't feed a large amount at all. My horse seems to live on fresh air!

 

[GinaGem]

2 generally but 1 or none in the spring/summer if they don't need it

 

[merlinsquest]

1 nice hearty breakfast and then enough hay left in field to last for the next 23.5 hours!!!!

 

[reddie]

In the winter 2 feeds a day, evening one is slightly larger. Haylage at night. During the summer - none except for a small handful after riding and to put biotin supplement in.

 

[Janette]

2 a day, 1/2 a scoop of chaff, a scoop of cool mix each feed.

 

[MagicMelon]

Twice, morning and evening all year round. The old shetland also gets her snak ball filled up at lunchtime.

 

[Salcey]

Nov-Apr 2 hard feeds a day
Rest of the year 1

 

[Malibu]

3 times a day. morning, lunch at supper plus adlib hay/haylage in stable and grazing .

 

[Moggy in Manolos]

my mare is fed once a day, she may get hay some days also depending on numerous variables such as weather,current weight etc

 

[FinkleyAlex]

twice, of alpha oil, copra meal, speedibeet - topspec balancer and cortaflex in the evening one aswell. He gets adlib hay and 3-4 hours turnout 5 days a week.
