Performance Horse Feed

A performance horse is engaged in regular, highly physical activities like running, jumping, turning, pulling or carrying a load. The most important aspect of feeding performance horses is to consistently provide good quality feed, together with ample fresh water, at the same times each day. The feed must contain enough calories and energy to maintain a working weight.
