To increase the long fiber intake, do not mow the pastures frequently to allow sufficient height of the forage. To increase intake of dry forage, the pasture can be stripped mowed every few weeks. Your horse will consume the dry and green grass. If the grass intake is inadequate, supplement him with hay every day. The daily requirement of roughage intake for your horse is: 1) 30 lbs of grass only; or 2) 15 lbs of hay only; or 3) 10 lbs of grass and 10 lbs of hay.
