Feeding Directions

Forage is the most important component of a horse’s diet and should be fed at a rate of 1.5-2.5% of a horse’s body weight.

Calculate how much to feed your horse by simply entering your horses weight below. Calculate your horse's weight.

Follow these simple steps to determine your horse’s weight

  1. Measure your horse’s heart girth. Measure around the midsection, immediately behind the elbow and withers.
  2. Measure your horse’s body length. Measure from the point of the shoulder to the point of the buttock (tuber ischii).
  3. Weight Estimate Calculation:

    Adult Horse: (Heart Girth x Hearth Girth x Body Length) / 330 = Bodyweight

    Yearling: (Heart Girth x Hearth Girth x Body Length) / 301 = Bodyweight

    Weanling: (Heart Girth x Hearth Girth x Body Length) / 208 = Bodyweight

FEEDING TIPS:

  • Weigh the amount of forage provided to each horse to ensure you are feeding the proper amount.
  • Gradually replace existing hay with Standlee forage over a 7-10 day period. Replace existing hay on a 1 to 1 basis with Standlee forage.
  • Chopped forage is often mixed with the grain portion of a diet to slow the rate of intake of grain. It is also utilized as a highly palatable carrier for medications for sick animals.
  • Never feed moldy or insect infested forage to horses.
  • Always provide free-access to fresh, clean water.

If you have questions, please contact the nutritionists at Standlee Premium Products, or consult with your veterinarian.
