Herd horses are feed two round bales with netting. Access to fresh, free choice water, trace mineral block and shelter. In AM, feed barn grain to all horses except Tequila, Jackson, Willie and Prince. Prince is feed mix of barn grain and owner grain, AM and PM, progressively switching over to all barn grain, at which time Prince will get grain once a day with rest of herd. Barn grain is feed at the rate of 10 lbs, put in 4-5 feed bins, per day. Barn grain is a mix of senior feed and a maintenance or all stock feed (about 50/50).
Barn horse (Willie) is out with the herd during the day. He gets 1/2 bale of hay in PM in stall with trace mineral block and water. In PM, feed 1 scoop oats and one strip SmartPak, both supplied by owner. His stall is cleaned about 6 times a week with more bedding added 2x to 3x per week. His cribbing collar is on 24/7.
