      Description

      Feeding directions with hay or pasture. Start with the amounts given for the weight and lifestyle of the horse. After observing the horse for a period of time, the amount fed may be increased or decreased by 10% to obtain the desired body condition and weight.  

        Weight of Horse in Pounds
      Lifestyle 600 800 1,000 1,200
      Minimum Hay or Equivalent Pasture* (lbs/day) 7.00 9.50 12.00 14.50

      Maintenance – Average Activity 2.75 3.50 4.25 5.00
      Maintenance – Elevated Activity 3.25 4.25 5.25 6.25
      Light Work 4.00 5.25 6.50 7.75
      Moderate Work 5.50 7.25 9.00 10.75

      *This is the recommended minimum amount of hay to be fed. If feeding more hay, reduce the feeding rate of Strategy® Healthy Edge® horse feed by 1 pound for every additional 2 pounds of hay fed.
       
      **Do not feed less than 0.3 pounds per 100 pounds of body weight per day. If your horse gains too much weight at that minimum feeding rate, then you should replace Strategy® Healthy Edge® horse feed with Enrich Plus® ration balancing feed.

      Best Results

      • Feeding rates will vary with size, age, temperament, health status, forage quality, climate and activity level. Feed at regular times - at least twice daily - with three daily feedings preferred. Let horses feed in a natural position from troughs with large bottoms, placed at normal head height or lower. Do not feed free-choice. Prevent the rapid eating by the horse of any feedstuff.
      • Reduce and/or delay feeding a horse which is hot, excited or showing pain, has fever or diarrhea. Consult your veterinarian if any problems arise.
      • Always feed a minimum of 1.0 to 1.2 lbs per 100 lbs of body weight of good quality, clean hay or the equivalent in pasture.
      • Any feed changes should be made gradually over a period of 7 to 10 days. Changes in the rate of feeding should not exceed 1.0 lb per day for each horse.
      • Have plenty of clean, fresh water available at all times. Provide your horse with access to salt. Maintain an effective control program for internal parasites. Have the horse's teeth examined annually and consult your veterinarian on a regular basis.

      Changing To

      • Make the feed change gradually over a period of 7 to 10 days.
      • Mix the new feed with the old, gradually increasing the amount of the new feed while decreasing an equal amount of the old.
      • Changes in the rate of feeding should not exceed 1 pound per day for each horse.

      Caution

      Store in a dry, well-ventilated area protected from rodents and insects. Do not feed moldy or insect-infested feed to animals as it may cause illness, performance loss or death.

Awesome feed for my horses

I started my horses on this product a little over a month ago and what a tremendous difference I see in my old starving rescue I’m trying to put weight on.

Can't replace perfection.

We have been feeding Purina for over 15 years. Strategy Healthy Edge provides the perfect balance to keep my performance horses in top shape. Their coats shine.

Mr. Fussypants likes it!

Been feeding this now for 3 months and my older fella is fussy, but eats it fine. Like the textured & pelleted combo for his eating comfort. My porky guy has been in good shape with the lower starch and sugar. Just had a hard time getting it.

Started feeding this a few months ago. Horses seem to like it. To soon to know if I see a difference. Plus they still have their winter coat.
