Horse Feed

Horse Feed

Horses typically eat hay, grass and other forage, but horse feed can be used to supplement their natural diet. With a mission to support your Life Out Here, Tractor Supply provides a wide range of horse feed and other horse products for equine owners.

Supplement Your Horse’s Forage Diet

Horse feed can be used in combination with other food sources such as hay and pasture, but it can also be used as a complete diet for them. Depending on the formula and other factors, you can ensure your steeds receive the proper nutrition for a strong, healthy life. Consider our options that are:

Made for Horses of Different Life Stages

Horse feed is often formulated for horses of certain ages and life stages since they have varying nutritional needs. Senior horses who have difficulty chewing or swallowing forage can benefit from pelleted forms with high-fat content, while foals that need to develop properly will get advantages from high-protein feed. To support milk production in lactating mares, horse feed designed with increased calories will help. For active and performance horses that need energy for training and exercise, provide them options that are fortified with vitamins and minerals.

Formulated With Specific Diets in Mind

Many horses have certain dietary requirements that mean they need to follow certain diets. Luckily, you’ll find options formulated for various diets, such as low starch and low sugar feed for horses that are insulin resistant. If you want a feed that supports bodily functions such as digestion and immune system health, feed with omega fatty acids or probiotics is ideal. High-calorie feed is beneficial for horses that need to gain weight or that are pregnant or lactating.

Available in Several Food Forms

For farmers who prefer to feed their horses a particular form of feed, plenty of options are available. Pellets and granules can be placed in trough feeders, buckets or tubs, while locks and cubes can be scattered around the pasture.

Appetizing to Your Horses

Horses often enjoy sweet flavors, so feed is frequently made with yummy flavors that will entice them to chow down. Whether your horse prefers flavors such as molasses, fruit, peppermint or coconut, you’ll find several options to choose from. For horses that don’t love sweet tastes, other feed has natural flavorings of grain, alfalfa, oats and barley.

Packaged in Numerous Sizes

When you go to shop for horse feed, you may be looking for a big container that can be used to feed multiple horses or a small one to take with you to competitions. Larger weights of 50 and 55 pounds are ideal for stocking up on more feed. Meanwhile, 20-pound options are great for taking on the road when trailering or showing your horses.
