2.2 - Feeding your horse

2.2.2 - Colts and fillies

Foals remain with their mother until they are 6 months old.During that time, they feed on their mother's milk exclusively. If the equestrian center where the mother is boarded provides carrots, the foal can eat some for free.

Weaned foals can only eat fodder.When they start training, you can give them oats. Make sure they eat properly: not too much, not too little.

2.2.3 - The adult horse

An adult draft horse needs fodder and oats.Food quantity depends on the amount of work provided. If the food is not appropriate, they will get fatter or thinner, which can incur health damage.
The horse can eat a certain amount of fodder for free depending one the quality of the meadows in the equestrian center where the horse is boarded. It also depends on the season: grass is less abundant in the winter than it is in the spring.
Some equestrian centers offer fodder and oats to their boarders.
This allows you to feed your horse entirely for free if they are boarded in such an equestrian center!

2.2.4 - Weight problems

Several messages will warn you if your horse is too fat or too thin. If this is the case, you will have to take action. If it's too thin, you will have to give it as much feed as possible. If it's too fat, don't feed it.
