 Tom, this is probably a stupid question, but do you have to adjust these
 amounts from breed to breed? I have ridden both Arabs and Morgans, and kniow
 they require different management, would this apply also?

Basically, you feed the work and body weight. Smaller horses perform less 
work covering the same ground at the same speed as larger horses--less mass 
to move, less total energy required.

But a hard working small horse could require--would require--more energy 
intake than a stalled larger horse. Basically, we feed to maintain or gain 
lean muscle mass during training and racing.
