Foals food for your horse
Foals that have just been born stay with their mother until they are 6 months old. During this period, they are only fed with their mother's milk. If the center in which the mare is a resident has carrots, the foal can eat these as long as he stays with his mother.
Foals separated from their mothers only eat forage. You will start to give them cereals when they begin to work and use up more energy. You have to ensure you balance the daily food ration, i.e. neither too much, nor too little.
Adult horses
The working adult horse needs forage and cereals. His ration depends on the work he does. If his ration is not balanced, he will get fat or grow thin. Weight problems will deteriorate the horse's health and increase the risk of catching diseases. For the forage, you should also think about putting him in the pasture. The grass your horse eats saves you money on buying food. The amount of grass eaten in the pasture depends on the quality of the pastures of the equestrian center where your horse is a resident, but also on the season. There is less grass in the meadow in winter than in spring, for example.
Weight problems
Different messages alert you when your horse is too fat or too thin. In this case, you have to take measures. If he is too thin, double the amount of forage given to him. If he is too fat, on the other hand, give him half the ration of forage he normally needs. For example if your horse is too thin and his daily ration is normally 4kg, give him 8kg for him to gain weight.
Treats
Treats boost your horse's morale. Turnips also gives him some energy. You can buy apples and turnips on the market. However, the carrots that give him energy and boost his morale are only available in the equestrian centers that grow them and offer them for free to their resident horses. It's up to you to choose an equestrian center that grows them.
