Feeding Question

[bunnylover88]

I want to ask all the professional trainers out there, what do you feed your horses to keep their energy level at 100% while you are training them? I'm training my first horse and he always runs out of energy Any tips? Thanks!

100% Weight gain in a pasture

Adjusting weight can come after the majority of training is done

Okay thank you! So do I train on 100% weight gain with a full pasture? what percentage of grass?

I don't mow my pastures, so I just use a small one for training purposes and I usually don't have any more than two in it at any one time

I'm not sure if I've read you question correctly but if I have your horse will always run out of energy. Correct feeding will only determine that he starts a new day with 100% energy and any training that he does in that day will deplete his energy.

What you should be aiming for is using 100% of his energy in training. for example a completely untrained horse will use 59% energy with lunge on the flat with a ten minute walk in the arena, and a five minute walk uses 30%. that's 89% out of the 100% available.
If however you spend the 5 minutes on the trail at a canter that would use 41% which combined with the ten minute walk in the arena at 59% uses your full 100% for the day plus it will increase his stats.

Do the energy saver courses first to see an immediate reward of increased energy.
