The amount of forage or hay fed to a horse during the summer and winter seasons depends on whether he has access to pasture, the amount and quality of that pasture, droughts, winter temperatures, and hours stalled. Ideally, horses should have 24/7 access to some type of forage.
We discuss the importance of providing horses with adequate hay and pasture forage during both the winter and summer months to meet their nutritional needs. Topics include the amount of hay needed, the benefits of pasture grazing, and the role of forage in equine digestion.
