people do, in feed required and ten­
dency to put on weight. Moreover, the
age and degree of activity of horses
are quite important factors. The
amount of feed should be increased in
keeping with the amount, severity,
and speed of work. Nevertheless, the
feed allowances recommended in

Also, the recommended feed allow­

all sizes, including ponies and don­
keys; simply vary as necessary accord­
ing to the work performed and the
individuality of the animal.
Frequency of Feeding
Frequency of feeding has a great deal
to do with the feed utilization and
condition of the horse. It is recom­
mended that the rations listed in
Table 1 be divided into three equal
feeds, given morning, noon, and
night. Feed may be kept before creep-
fed foals so long as it is clean and
sweet.

German and Russian armies during
World War II, are well adapted to
horses. They are cleaner and require
less storage and transportation space
(1/5 to 1/3 as much space as long
hay); it takes less labor to feed pellets;
there is no dustiness—hence, they les­

waste—with the result that 5 to 20 per
