About Feed

There are many manufactures of feed and they produce a variety. There are many factors to consider before you purchase feed such as:

• the horse’s sex
• the horse’s age
• the horse’s health
• horses size and weight
• breeding, pre, during and post
• quality of the grass in a pasture
• the horse’s breed
• time of year
• climate where the horse lives
• your goals for the horse
• whether the horse will be competing
• the type of competition
• cost and availability
• the quality and type of hay fed

Review these factors and an excellent Southern States’ Horse Feed Reference Guide in our library before you spend your hard earned money on feed. There are many reputable sources of feed information including your vet, farrier, local feed store, manufacture’s packaging and web site and our library.
