ride. My suggestion would be 1 lb of grain for each hour out from the start.
For example if the start is 9:00 AM and you feed at 7:00, then 2 lbs of
grain would be a good start. At 3 hours out, 3 lbs of grain. 1 hour out, 1
lb of grain. And then grain maybe every two hours during the ride.<<<
Just out of curiosity....how many of you out there could get your horse to
eat this much grain? Let's be honest!!
I took Tom's Feeding Guide to mean that the max to feed BEFORE the
ride would be to feed no more than a pound per hour before the ride ----
During the ride I'd be prepared for the horse to eat about the same
amount depending on the length of the rest period.

else's, too!)
