Video Transcript

"There's three basic things that we need to do in order to keep our horses fed when stabled. The first is to make sure that they have water, and you want to make sure you check that at least a couple of times throughout the day. And it should be fresh and clean. Next we want to make sure that our horse is supplied with constant access to forage, in this case hay. You also want to feed your horse grain, and what kind of grain will depend on the type of work and the type of horse that you have. Most of horses eat two meals a day of grain, some eat up to four meals a day. It's important that if your horse is as difficult keeper and needs a lot of grain, that you split the grain into small portions, as it's better for their digestive systems."
