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.
  • Feeding some long-stem forage (hay) may help eliminate boredom and prevent stall vices.
  • Horses that have dental problems or for horses that aggressively consume their feed, Standlee Premium Products cubes and pellets are recommended to be fed wet, soaked in water for 30 minutes or until properly softened.
  • 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.
  • Never feed moldy or insect infested forage to horses.
  • Always provide free-access to fresh, clean water.
