A ration of one pound of alfalfa or other roughage and about 1.25 pounds of grain per day per 100 pounds of horse weight is recommended for a working horse. Horses prefer alfalfa stems and accept cattle rack refuse. Feed mature first and second cutting hay free from mold and dust, curing until bloom. Avoid feeding wet alfalfa hay due to dust moisture factors.
