What and how much should feed my horse?
I recently purchased a 9 yr old Thoroughbred, who is 1 yr retired from racing. I grew up on a farm and have had nearly every animal except horses. My mother in law has had horses all her life but, honestly I don't think she knows that much(old fashioned &stuck in her ways). I've been reading everything I can get my hands on, but I'm still confused. Can I feed just oats? If so what kind? Should I feed pellets, or sweet feed? Is sweet feed too sweet? Is corn good or bad?
He's out in pasture all the time with a run in barn, and he ALWAYS has free choice of hay. I trail ride for about 1-2 hrs when the horrible PA mountain weather is fit. Please help me find a good diet for my horse.
p.s. I've been feeding Vintage Gold Pellets w/ an ulcer prevent supplement called U-7.
He does not have ulcers, since he raced I knew he was at high risk for uclers, U-7 promotes healthy gastric & digestive system, it's all natural. It's from www.finishlinehorse.com
Vintage Gold is a good pellet. I've known many TBs on it.
I don't suggest oats for an OTTB or corn or sweet feed. Just stick with the pellets.
They are easily digested and not 'hot'.
Depending on how his weight is will determine how much grain you feed (in pounds). Normally it's about 2-3lbs in the AM and then again in the PM.
Less for easy keepers and NO GRAIN for the super easy keepers that can maintain their weight on just hay.
For some super hard keepers they are fed 3lbs in the AM then a 1lb lunch and then another 3lbs in the evening (that type of schedule)
My guys are on just hay and pasture plus a small scoop of a vitamin supplement. That's it.
Remember...add the amount slowly. Too much too soon can cause colic or laminitis.

How to choose a good first farm tractor for sale
As you are looking at this article, then it's obvious that you have an interest in vintage tractors. Worldwide, the hobby of collecting refurbishing and maintaining vintage tractors has seen huge growth in recent years. The main driving force behind the growth in popularity of this pastime is believed to be the low cost of purchasing and maintaining this equipment. Also, while they are a great antique to have they can still be used to do work. They are easy to understand and maintain. restoring them to their former glory can bring great satisfaction and enjoyment. How do you go about avoiding a bad investment decision while still getting what you want for your hobby or your farm?
The range of antique tractors to choose from is vast. As you would expect, your needs have a lot to do with what you should look for. You need to understand your needs you then need to convert this into a list of requirements that will help you to make a better decision when it comes to buying your antique tractor.
It may sound obvious but if you plan to buy a tractor for collecting or for use on the farm you will have a different set of requirements for each purpose. Most people believe that a number of the most sought after vintage tractors make poor day to day tractors and on the other-side painstaking renovation of an very popular tractor may not be worth the effort (not to mention the cost of getting hold of parts no longer manufactured).
The first thing you should do is detailed research when thinking about investing in an antique tractor. Many research manuals are available that contain this information giving you a vast array of detailed information from prices to maintenance costs.
While collectability, horsepower, PTO, etc make up the main points for choosing what size, type, manufacturer, or model of vintage tractor you want, a more straight forward set of factors must be used for choosing the specific tractor you will buy. As always, reconditioning an vintage collectable tractor come with a unique checklist.
Buying a working antique tractor is very easy, but be careful not to buy the first one you see as many people buy the wrong type of tractor and become disillusioned with old machines when they buy one that does not suit their needs. One of the frst things you should look at is the layout of your fields, how hilly is it and also what type of farm machinery you will need to use. If you plan on using the tractor for tillage, such as barley or corn, then you should consider a Nuffield 460, a Nuffield 1060 because other machines may be too low to the ground and cause damage to your crop. On the other hand if your land is very hilly, you may need to consider something like a Massey-Harris Pony or a Layland 154 . If you want to use farm machinery with your antique tractor, you should first understand the horsepower requirements of this implement and make sure the tractor model you decide on has the weight and the right horsepower to carry out the job. If you need to use a ten foot disk harrow, then you would need more horsepower than a Fordson Power Major Effective research should ensure that you avoid these schoolboy type errors. Making an error at this point may result in having to begin and starting the search for utility tractors for sale all over again.Once you have selected your antique tractor make sure the first thing you focus on is the mechanical operation of the tractor not its cosmetics. Many good working tractors will not have seen paint in years and will have been maintained with lots of different stuff from around the farm. Making an error at this point may result in having to begin and starting the search for steiger tractors for sale all over again.
