How much feed does your horse get through?

[MillionDollar]

Just curious really as to how much feed your horse gets through.....

 

[PapaFrita]

Oops, I think I made a mistake... PF eats straight oats, feed IS included in the livery, and she gets through 3 sacks a month, I think but sacks vary in size from 35 to 50 kg so I'm not sure at the mo..

 

[AmyMay]

I've only had Thumper for a couple of weeks - and he's only getting a token handful of nuts after he's worked at the moment.

At the minute hes just on happy hoof as hes doing well on grass. He just gets a scoop after ive ridden him. I probs go through about 1-2 bags per month
Hes also get some alpha beet when i remember to soak it. But he only has 1 cup (mixed with 3 cups water) So this bag is lasting a life time!

Its not included in my livery, but i can go where i like to buy it

In winter amount of feed used will go up, as being a TB he will prob lose condition. Ive only hav him 15 months, and when i first bought him he was very underweight so i was still trying to put weight on him going into last winter, so not too sure how well he will hold his weight this winter.

Archie gets through a bag of Baileys Endurance Mix a week, so 4 bags a month. And about half a sack of Alfa-Oil a month (he dosent get much of that, just a handful in each feed.)

Blossy gets through 2 sacks of Baileys Stud Balancer a month and one sack of Dengie Good Doer every 3months.

Mine are on DIY so i buy my own feed.

 

[KatB]

G gets through about 1.5 bags of Allen and Page comp light mix, about 3/4 a bag of Hifi, and about the same of Topspec

 

[PaintboxEDT]

mine has on a one feed a day atm
1 scoop of d & h 16 + mix
1 scoop of veteran chaff
1 scoop of fibregest
1 scoop of cortaflex
2 scoops of biotine hoof supp
2 scoops of garlic

hes a big boy with a big appetite lol !!!!

Lux gets through about 1/3rd of a bag of oats, and the same of Kwikbeet per month right now, although will increase slightly over the winter months.

Jells gets a teensy tiny bit of kwikbeet to have her brewers yeast in, ao one bag would last her AGES

er..........the OP was asking how many BAGS of feed we get through a MONTH

 

[Solstar]

in summer, i get thru one bag of mix a month, and a bag of hifi lasts all summer! so does a bag of sugarbeet....
he gets -
half scoop of mix
handful hifi
half scoop sugarbeet

winter is a differant story, i get thru 1 bag each of nuts and mix every 2 weeks and a bag of hifi and sugarbeet (not speedibeet) lasts 3 weeks at a pinch.
he normally gets (in winter) -
1 scoop barley rings
1 scoop meadowsweet mix
3 scoops hifi
2 scoops of sugarbeet.

 

[PaintboxEDT]

yeh i ticked the box as well !!!!
that would be 3 a month give or take

 

[kayleigh_and_rocky]

1bag of readigrass every 6-8weeks ish. Easy lol plus supplements

 

[CSYMolly]

Normally one chaff and one baileys lo cal a month, oh and just put her on oats too but that lasts ages.

 

[pottamus]

Well I did not vote because mine only gets Hi Fi lite for his supplements and 1 bag of that lasts 8 months!!!!! Only has 2 handfuls per day...what a mean mum!

 

[Gorgeous George]

George gets through a bag of alfa-a lite and a bag of baileys lo-cal a month.

 

[HenryandPeta]

In the winter, Henry will get through 2 bags of Competition Mix a month, and a bag of Alfa-A lasts approx a month to 6 weeks. Plus his other bits and bobs.

Summer, he only gets fed after he's been ridden so my current bag of Alfa-A is lasting me ages!

 

[charlyan]

Mine goes through one bag of Pasture/ Leisure Mix and 3/4 bag of hi-fi lite per month, on two feeds per day. (He lives out over summer so doesn't need extra hay or nowt)

 

[Blizzard]

I buy my own feed and Beau goes through about 3 bags of TopSpec Cool Condition cubes a month, 1 bag of Topspec feed balancer every 6 weeks, and a bag of Hi Fi every 2 months.

Lance gets half a scoop of hi fi a day as a token feed so he isnt left out.

 

[ShadowFlame]

Less than one bag a month, poor lad

One bag of chaff to last a month or two in the winter, probably 3 or more months in summer. He's a fat boy, so only has a tiny bit to mix his vits in.

 

[Chex]

A bag of chaff lasts me about 4 months (maybe longer), and a bag of speedibeet will last about a year I think at the very slow rate I'm getting through it! The joys of having a fat cob

 

[suzyseymour]

Between all three they get through a bag a month!! Only get get enought to put suppliments/bute in. They are on cool mix. They certainly don't need to put any weight on. I don't feed them much more in the winter, we have plent of grazing for them.

 

[Bex7]

less than a bag of happy hoof a month in the winter and nothing in the summer.
