Feeding Tips

1. Introduce Early Development to your horse's diet gradually over a 7 - 14 day period.

2. Feed by weight and not by volume.

3. Feed a minimum of 1.5% of your horse's body weight daily as roughage.

4. Horses have a small stomach, so feed little and often.

5. Ensure horses have access to clean water.

6. Do not add additional vitamins or minerals unless directed by a nutritionist or veterinarian.

7. Adjust feed intake according to age, breed, appetite, activity level, climate and body condition.
