Feeding

On many occasions I met mangers who cause more damage than managing their farms. Once a manager asked me why should we feed those horses which are not pregnant. He asked me why not they thrive only on the grass which is available in the paddock as he had read that in UK and USA they are left in the paddocks unattended. I showed him the barren paddocks in the farm, no grass but plenty of sand to eat. You lose more than what you save if you don’t feed them. In USA and UK the paddocks are very big and lush green so the mares get plenty to eat.
