Did you know?, that just one horse eats 2% of his/her body weight a day of hay, that's 2 flakes in the morning and 2 flakes in the evening, a flake should weght 5 lbs. each. Some people feed about 2 to 3 pounds of supplements to their horses diet a day and this is still for one horse. Horses drink gallons of water a day the fresher the better. Needs to be wormed every 3 to 6 months. A farrier should look at your horses feet at least every 3 to 6 weeks depending on the horse.
Did you know? That a horse has five hearts, they have a main heart in their chest and they have a heart pump in each one of their feet, it is called a frog, when the foot hits the ground it activates the frog which causes a beat and sends blood back up the leg to the main heart. That is a true story.
Did you know? that getting educated on how to take care of a horse is the best thing you can do for you and exspecially your horse. The more you know about horses the better off both of you are. Being a horse owner has a lot more responsibilities than most people think. It's more than just having a horse. You have to feed them at least twice a day, fresh water, grooming, excersizing, a vet, and that is just a few things. It's a big decision to owning a horse, think about it wisely.
