So, here's my feed plan for the winter. Mama mare falls under the easy keeper description. IF I can get Captain's weight up, I might put him on Enrich 32 as well, and that's a crapload less expensive than Ultium. I love Ultium products, but dear lord they're expensive. And Enrich 32 is a great feed if he can maintain his weight. Anywho, the caloric requirements for a horse on a light work schedule are 15,000 kcal/day, and about 25,000 for a horse in moderate work. Winter caloric requirements are higher since they shiver some of it off, so I'm calculating a higher caloric intake for all of the easy keepers, active maintenance, and higher maintenance horses.
