Horse

💧 Fresh water: 20 – 40 L daily, always available; check trough temperature in winter 🌿 Pasture grazing: fresh grass is the gold standard — counts toward forage total, replaces hay rather than supplementing it 🧂 Salt block: plain white, free choice — essential; mineral block optional depending on hay quality 💊 Ration balancer: if no fresh grass, hay alone often lacks vitamins — a ration balancer fills gaps without extra calories 🥕 Vegetables & fruit: carrots, apples — fine as occasional treats in small handfuls, not a dietary staple ⚠️ Never feed more than 0.5% of body weight in grain concentrates per meal — excess starch increases risk of laminitis and colic
