Rivenwood's Study Guide

Horses have very sensitive systems and are delicate creatures, despite the work they can perform. If you exercise your horse regularly, he needs to have proper care and nutrients to insure his body has what it needs to keep up with the performance required of him. Keeping a mineral block handy will permit him to add minerals to his diet as needed. If energy levels are a concern, corn-based feeds will provide an excellent source of energy, and it is advised you also increase his carbohydrates and protien. In addition, breeding stallions need a fair amount of Vitamin A. Of course, many easy keepers do well on pasture forage. Overfeeding or improper feeding can lead to severe problems. Founder occurs when the laminae of the hoof becomes inflamed, and this is most often due to massive intake of carbohydrates. Over-treating horses, especially with molasses and other sugar-based treats, can lead to cavaties in the teeth. One of the most frightening and fatal dietary problems is colic, the most common of which is impaction colic. If your horse displays the common signs of lack of interest in food and water, lying down, pawing the ground and staring at their sides, it is extremely important to call the Veterinarian right away before the impaction turns fatal.
