[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 56306, member: 97"] More good horses are ruined by overfeeding than injured by underfeeding----Horses have a tendancy to "eat like a horse".. they eat way more than they need-- Horses do better when they only have a few hours on pasture, lower quantities of hay, and unless being worked small quantities or no grain.......Horses are kind of like humans- they have evolved and upbred over the years, but the amount of work they are doing has lessened- Most anymore don't get half the work they need to keep them healthy- if you eat the same, you get fat..... Look at the pictures of some of the old horses of the 1800's, early 1900's that were being worked constantly- They were in good muscular and body shape- but were fed less grain then we feed many of our dormant horses today-- [/QUOTE]
