I'm moving my horse from a friend's place to my lesson barn next week, and am trying to decide on a feeding program. She's a 10 year old QH, has always been a fairly easy keeper.
For the past few years, she's gotten one scoop of Sentinel feed per day as well as free choice hay and pasture. From what I've been reading, many horses do not actually need grain, it's just something owners feed because they feel like that's what they're "supposed" to do.
For a horse who will be starting in light work 1-2 days per week, going back to basics after a couple years of not being ridden due to me living out of state, would she likely be fine with field board and free choice hay? What about in a couple months if/when she starts with light jumping? Does anyone have any good resources that help owners determine an appropriate feed program?
I appreciate any input anyone has to offer. I'm happy to grain her if it's something she truly needs, but I'd prefer not to pay more and make extra work for staff if grain would just be something extra. If I determine that she doesn't need it, I will of course slowly change her diet to help her adjust. There's a lot of opinions out there and I want to make an informed decision.
I have rescued a horse recently (not the one in the picture post) and he is struggling to get used to having something around him, the girth, even though I have been doing gentle breaking in he can not get past this. Any tips would be greatly appreciated
Symphony - Symphony's Flaming Dawn in full - became my wife's horse in 2004, when she graduated college.
She was a lifelong horse nut, rode Symphony for lessons, and had been saving for her, until her parents bought the horse as a graduation present.
They've been inseparable ever since, and I entered as horse hubby 7 years ago. Well trained, I can groom, tack, help coach dressage and arena jumping.
Yesterday we got home from a weekend out of town, and an hour later got a call that Symphony was dead.
Autopsy revealed sudden aortic aneurysm. I'm doing alright I guess, but my wifeis understandably a mess.
I'm not new to grief, compassion, or being a good husband but I am new to losing a horse. Any suggestions on how to proceed with the coming months of horse-related everything are welcome.
I've just messaged a local livery and stud yard to see if they're needing anyone to work! I live right by the coast, and only have two stables within cycling distance from me, but the other one I applied to didn't even respond to me. Let's hope I'm lucky this time!
