The cost of feeding a horse depends on many different factors. Your horse’s individual needs, such as age, activity level, health conditions, and breed all need to be taken into consideration when feeding your horse and can impact the overall cost. Access to grazing and pasture will affect your bottom line as this will determine how much additional forage you might have to purchase for your horse. Location and time of year can also make a difference, as these can greatly change the cost and need for forage, as well as supplements such as electrolytes.
The best way to understand the cost of feeding your horse is to utilize FeedXL. FeedXL makes calculating and comparing feed costs simple by allowing you to quickly and easily input costs for all of the feeds, forages, and supplements you are using and calculating the daily, monthly, and yearly costs. This lets you try multiple combinations of feeds and supplements to find one that works beautifully for your horse without breaking your budget. FeedXL can also help you save money by balancing your horse’s diet and eliminating any unnecessary supplements.

How To Reduce Your Feeding Costs || FREE Masterclass with Dr Nerida Richards
Horses are expensive!
We love them, but gosh they cost a lot of money to keep!
And a lot of that expense is in their feed… when you own a giant animal that eats up to 3% of its own bodyweight each day, the costs start to pile up!!
And here is the thing, because we love these critters SO MUCH we always want to do the best for them. And a big part of that is feeding well.
But in ‘feeding well’, we tend to overcomplicate things.
Shiny feed bags, expensive supplements (often multiple expensive supplements!) and a tendency to overfeed means we often end up with rations for our horses that cost way more than they should!
And here is the thing… simple diets, that provide everything your horse needs, but ONLY what your horse needs are better for your horse AND they cost less $$!
