I can tell you worked hard on the editing! There was a lot of helpful information in this video. Thank you for making this!

[@ThisEsMe]

Silver Equine Thanks glad you enjoyed it☺️

[@burtonzl]

Hi everyone

[@rylila]

I don’t have a horse yet but I’ve watched several other videos today on horse care and none helped as much as this one. Honestly none other really helped at all. This is the first one to really answer my questions instead of just telling me the blatantly obvious. Thank you for making this. You have possibly just earned a new subscriber.

[@kathrynschaller8875]

Interesting! In the US, we don't usually put roughage in the grain, but make sure to feed hay before grain so they have the fiber in their stomachs to help the grain pass through and prevent their stomach acid from being overactive. I wish we did feed like this though. I'm a huge believer in tons of roughage and grain as a supplemental element of their diet. Beet pulp is more commonly added to grain out here, but even that isn't for its fiber, but to aid in weight gain. My horse gets basically double the hay of everyone else at the barn, in a hay bag and some loose in his stall. Sometimes I get funny looks when they find out how much hay my guy gets, but I'd rather know he has enough to last him through the night. I also wish more people out here would understand that grain shouldn't be given in large quantities and for weight gain. Here, if there is a thin horse, even if it's out of work, it tends to receive way too much grain for their workload. (I know this is a super late comment, but I just found it really interesting how different we feed out here.)

[@heyhi3061]

Kathryn Schaller I have 6 horses that all eat in hay bags but my one horse is older and gets three times as much food, beet pulp is fed to them all though. Fyi im from the US too!

[@uselessSam]

Your horses are so lucky to have you as an owner. Where I learn horse riding they don't feed the horses properly. And we can see their ribs. Awesome video tho!

[@SezmEquestrian]

really love your videos! keep on with the good quality and good videoclips and you will come far

[@feequestrian]

I learnt all about this and choke at my pony club. It really helped me and because of you making this video I have gone up a level! So thank you so much 😊

[@MegF142857]

I use a kitchen wand whisk with a handle, so I don't have to bend down so much to clean sides & can scrub while use some horse water at same time. I should get one with a longer handle! If whisk gets too dirty, then I pop it into the dishwasher.

[@wheelerwheeler5174]

Thank you so much for this information in feeding horses and donkeys.

[@mygeldingzak]

[@shaelynequestrian8771]

My horse lives in a field with a few other horses. (2) she gets fed 2x a day. The morning and the evening. She gets: one scoop of sweet feed 1 section of hay (1 flake) Grass 24/7 She only gets ridden 2/3x a week.

[@philiplettley]

Minimum of 1 1/2 hrs before exercise, minimum of 1/2 hr after exercise and 1/2 hr before turning out for feeding. I usually leave 2 hrs between feeding and working. So when going out driving, I'll get horse in at 8, feed them, leave them to eat and relax while I clean carriage and harness, about 9 am give them a good groom, before harnessing up and get myself ready and then go out about 9.45 -10 am

[@silviasousa7121]

[@ThisEsMe]

Sam Riley Thanks

[@Samantha-zt4fw]

This Esme Thanks for noticing me

[@Laura-mw3pl]

You make som really good points in this video :) however, it is important not to work your horse on an empty stomach. You are right when saying that the horse should not eat a lot of grain etc. before work, but you should feed it hay/alfalfa or similar to reduce the stomach acid and therefore avoid ulcers.

[@Earthstar444]

This was very educational, thank you!

[@laurenhaak7964]

I love this video sooo much!!

[@aurorads8847]

[@farooqahmad252]

Thank You very much your video helps me A lot , because I am going to buy a Horse and she is a girl and her name is going to be Majesty.

[@bellaperalta1246]

I'm doing a 98 day mustang gentling competition in the winter. They will be fed alfalfa and grass hay, but I'm not sure what grains/supplements to feed them. They are a yearling, and won't be ridden at all, but will be lunged everyday along with groundwork daily. What do you think?

[@ethananderson1643]

You work so hard with your hoses

[@IvyMPDressage]

[@ThisEsMe]

Lucero Moyano Lo siento, pero no tengo muchos suscriptores españoles así que no tengo subtítulos, ya que me llevaría mucho tiempo para traducirlos como sólo he estado aprendiendo español durante unos 5 años en la escuela :(

[@luceromoyano]

No hay problema! solo decia, de todas formas tus videos son geniales!!! Segui asi :D

[@marissafleischer3344]

Love your videos

[@basiasala-maslanka8308]

Where did you get the buckets?

[@cait452]

This Esme, how do you teach/make sure your equines eat from their buckets of feed? My horses all have slightly different feeds and they eat from each others when they are in the paddock! what can i do because i dont want the bossy horse to get all the food!

[@ThisEsMe]

Clara and Patricia SSO I feed them in stable or you could tie them up to a fence (with bailing twine) to make sure they can not reach each other's food!

[@cait452]

TYSM for the tips This Esme, will try that tonight when I feed them

[@yerebiz9545]

I ride my horse every day on a 30 minute trailride, we walk half the time and trot the other half, is that hard work?

[@jesshudsoneventing8993]

Through the winter season do you feed any of your equines sugar beat?

[@wildfloweraquatics7102]

I want to get a welsh pony and this was very help full

[@margmartin1411]

PLEASE DO A VIDEO ON HOW TO KEEP A GREY CLEAN AND ANOTHER PC CAMP VIDEO

[@icrazyfoxfox1814]

How old were you when you first rode Mickey?

[@savannahhelmetag1440]

I don't wash my bucket for my horse.. Only time I wash it is if it rains and he knocks it down in the mud..

[@chasing_dreams_and_barrels2361]

This was so helpful

[@abbyquezada7349]

I'm so confused on feeding horses, like how do you know how much they intake grass when outside, and how much hay to give them, and if they have enough hay and grass so they don't need any grain

[@ThisEsMe]

Ajringallo 04 You can't measure how much grass they eat but you can with hay but that is not a problem as the quality of the grass in the field changes at different times of the year. If your horse is looking over weight you can strip graze their field by putting up an electric fence so there is less grass that they can eat or you can up their exercise. When you buy grain from your store on the back of the packet is says how much you should feed your horse on the back depending on work, and height. But if they look over or under weight feed a bit more/less. I mostly do it by eye as Casper's condition varies :)

[@chelseaarcher6298]

With the don't feed before or after exercise, is this with any food or just hard feed like chaff? :)

[@ThisEsMe]

Chelsea Archer mainly hard feed but I personally would leave it a bit before feeding anything x

[@chelseaarcher6298]

Ok thankyou! 😁

[@horsegirl9271]

Nice video!

[@JorviksWitcher]

What if you have a horse that can't eat hay or grass. Due to age or a horse that can't grind the grass to eat it.

[@kendylthompson922]

So you said not to feed directly before or after exercise but my horse is in the field 24/7 with other horses and he always has access to hay/grass so should I let him eat or make him stay the the barn for awhile after riding?

[@ThisEsMe]

Ruffage (grass/hay) is ok. I was mainly talking about feeding them their grain x

[@lilyholloway8848]

sorry if this is a stupid question, but what is chaf?

[@ThisEsMe]

Lily Holloway Dried chopped grass. The bran I called is Alfa-A too see what it looks like you can google it :)

[@lilyholloway8848]

Thank you! Hope ur horsies are A OK!

[@adamtancock4971]

Well done

[@adamtancock4971]

This Esme hi Plz love this comment

[@equine_ellie]

Two horses live across the road from me. They are not looked after very well. They get old dusty hay and get no exercise. The owners are not very kind so I can't talk to them. I feed them apples carrots and oats. They also don't get cleaned very often maybe once a moth.what else can I do?

[@equine_ellie]

it is a great idea but the owners are horrible people and I don't know what they could reply with

[@theskewbaldshowjumperh3628]

The chaff preventing choke isn't strictly true, my gelding isn't allowed chaff with his feed as it actually increases the risk of him choking! :)

[@EloiseMolly]

Theskewbaldshowjumper H best thing to prevent choke is by dampening your feed, I was told this by a vet as the most cases of choke he had seen was from non dampened feed x

[@ehdeeguerrero6529]

Feeding your horse at the same time everyday is actually a bad idea… let’s say you’re at an event and can’t feed at that time cause you’re riding or something, that horse will k ow it’s about to be feeding time and when it doesn’t get it it will act out or start noding etc. change up the time of feed not huge gaps of time but let the horse know feeding time isn’t predictable.

[@jbhorselover5]

what is substrate?

[@jorjettekillough9690]

Can I ride my horse everyday? I'm moving after Christmas and the property has two horses and it's a 40 acre property with a HUGE pond. :)

[@hyunjini7586]

[@ThisEsMe]

Bays&Dapples yes I am :)

[@patriciamcmanus39]

What kind of bit do you use

[@emmiesonnyxoxo8646]

Hey esme, could I have some help with my pony as I give him around 1 or 2 treats a day but if I feed them to him by hand he starts to get annoyed as I don't have any more but the sent is till on my hand. I have tried throwing them into the stable but he doesn't see where I have thrown them despite me standing near it. I'm not sure what to to do. ~ Emmie xx
