Morgan Horses - Care

Morgan Horses are comparatively easy to keep. You should only remember some general rules:

There must be a constant supply of fresh water.
Feed little and often.
Do not work immediately after feeding.
Feed according to bodyweight, age, condition, and workload.
Measure feeds by weight, not volume.
Make any changes to the diet gradual.
Keep to a regular feeding routine.
Keep mangers, and feed and water containers clean.
Feed adequate fiber: hay or grass.
Ensure regular worming.
Have teeth checked regularly.

Morgan Horses - Diet

If the horse can roam and graze freely, it will probably be healthy. The Morgan Horse will select what its body will tell it to do. But, when the horses are kept in small corrals, owners have to find out what the horses need. Grass hay (alfalfa, clover, timothy, Bermuda, prairie) should make up the majority of the horse's diet. Grain is very important for all horses, especially rolled oats. Milo, corn, and barley are also acceptable.

For protein supplements Morgan Horses need linseed, cottonseed, dried skim milk, or commercially mixed protein supplement. Also horses should have salt and minerals (calcium, phosphorus, and others) always available. But use only minerals for equine because others are dangerous. Morgan Horses need plenty of cool fresh water, especially in hot weather.
