I must say I was a little apprehensive on the oats but switched to it and hay, minerals.....my wife has even noticed the difference in our 2 yrs old colt...... he's more, calm, not hyper or edgy. Will be continuing the feed to see more. Thanks. Hillsboro Ohio
Thank you for this information!! JUST what I was looking for. I want to feed my horse as well as I feed my children. I have one small horse and some goats. They eat from the same slow feeder I made out of fencing. If I put first cut in for the goats and second for the horse, the horse will pull out the first cut and eat that all before he goes to the second cut. Is the second cut more nutritious fo him? It sure looks it. Should I NOT give him that option and only feed him second? Thank you.
Does this work on senior horses who have trouble keeping weight on? Do you feed this all year round or just in the winter? Opinion on: Flax seed Rice bran Alfalfa pellets?
I have falkore on 2 lbs rolled oats 4 lbs sweetfeed. Will see about changing that. I had a salt block in for him but he was drinking 15+ gallons of water. It's just beginning winter. So I took it out till summer. I will put it in every other wk or so so he has his salt minerals
Our vet gave us a recipe for our horses consisting of a little corn, steamed barley and oats. After watching this video we did take the corn out of the mixture. Our vet told us that the corn was for energy. Please give your opinion on that comment.
Ted must not read these comments as he hasn't answered my question, either. If you listen again to the above video, near the end he mentions the corn again. He says it is for horses who are worked hard. If you have a horse for casual pleasure use, he doesn't recommend it. Do you use your horse for hard work/recreation?
He says to feed a horse 10% of his body weight ~ I think he meant to say 1% because a few minutes later he says "If your horse weighs 1000 lbs. you ought to have 10 lbs. hay" and that is 1% of 1000 lbs. 10% would be 100 lbs. ~!
Simple. Reading and studying to show yourself approved. This man knows because he reads and studies and doesn't try to fix what wasn't broken from years and years ago. My question is. How do you introduce oats to a mini horse who has not been getting them?
Thank you for the kind words, always glad to help! My suggestion to your question is: a cup at a time. For a mini, 2 cups max a day. Let me know if you have anymore questions and thank you for watching our videos!
So for that1000 lb horse that your feeding 10 lbs of hay - is that once a day or twice a day? Meaning, 10 pounds twice a day, or 10 pounds total, twice a day (5 pounds twice a day)?
I have very good looking roping horses , quarters horses to be technical. I also feed oats and alfalfa , But I have a 2 horses that can’t chew the oats . What should I feed ?
I don't have a roller, so I was going to blend the oats in a blender. If you do that and add some water, it should become a mash that your horses can eat. It is always healthier to soak grains anyway. But don't leave it long as it can go bad.
Wow , I got a new horse and gave her some pellets minerals so what. And it gave her the shits. I thought I killed her, wow thank you, she is fine now. Good info....

Thank you. I am learning. I have a horse that has been very sick, colic. Very thin. Going to follow your method.
I absolutely love and enjoy this video on how informative it is and the strategies to go buy!
These videos are SO helpful!

nice video, one question though, how much should i give my Clydesdale? she is about 1600 pounds.
Does this work on senior horses who have trouble keeping weight on? Do you feed this all year round or just in the winter?
Opinion on:
Flax seed
Rice bran
Alfalfa pellets?
should i feed my horses oats if they are kept inside for now and now grazing?
In the winter do you feed them more?
Pure wisdom...
Love your video
I know you said feed 10% of their body weight in hay. What is the percentage to fee of the oats?
Plans for building a feeder like in video?
Do you let your horses eat pasture grass?
What brand food grade sulphur do you give your horses?
Can you help me by letting me know where i can buy a roller for oats.. thank you
How do I mix free choice minerals ?
Im curious as to how you roll the oats.
Please give us the mineral mix recipe you make
I have falkore on 2 lbs rolled oats 4 lbs sweetfeed. Will see about changing that. I had a salt block in for him but he was drinking 15+ gallons of water. It's just beginning winter. So I took it out till summer. I will put it in every other wk or so so he has his salt minerals
Get the mixed mineral, not just the salt. They need more than just salt.
I'm surprised you feed and recommend the DAC Feed minerals & vitamin supplements when they contain corn as the first ingredients.

Handy Horseman thank you I will do like you

Thank you. I will try that. Ohh of course he gets hay 3 times a day. He's almost 17 hands 1600 lbs at least. He eats more than the average horse.
Would love to know the ratios of the mineral mix.
He feeds it free choice not top dressed.

Studying to show yourself approved. Another bible reader I see😉😁
in what video do you show how to mix your mineral? whats your email btw? thank you for your videos their very informative
I'm looking for it right now
Do you have any problems with them chewing the wood on the feed bins?
not if they have mineral
Handy Horseman, what vídeo you have regarding the minerals for horses?
What kind of schedule would you use to transition from commercial feed to crimped oats?
No big deal. Just do it
@@HandyHorsemanOhio Roger that sir!
@@HandyHorsemanOhio amy Fleming know do do eats and water you chucking leg os pleases Below Amy's she's liked 1000,00
So for that1000 lb horse that your feeding 10 lbs of hay - is that once a day or twice a day? Meaning, 10 pounds twice a day, or 10 pounds total, twice a day (5 pounds twice a day)?
I have same question.
@@amyshomesteadanimals Horses eat 2% of their body weight a day in roughage.
Do you have to roll the oats can you just feed them whole oats?
Yes
I believe he said that the rolled oats they digest better ❤️
Great info
I have very good looking roping horses , quarters horses to be technical. I also feed oats and alfalfa , But I have a 2 horses that can’t chew the oats . What should I feed ?

have their teeth checked
Wow , I got a new horse and gave her some pellets minerals so what. And it gave her the shits. I thought I killed her, wow thank you, she is fine now. Good info....
Common sense. Thank you.
10% of its body weight hay a day???
He had to mean 1%
The only thing I disagree on is you not giving your horse sugar they need treats and just a tad bit of sweet feed for some energy
I dont know how I feel about him, a bit to on about the cavalry, I mean they had some pretty nasty training methods.
I don't own a horse why am i watching this
Lol
