  • Forage makes up the majority of a horse’s diet and forage testing is one of the most valuable tools in building an accurate feeding plan. However, in many cases such as having low supply or variable suppliers having this done can be challenging. In the case that an analysis isn’t possible, estimates can be used from reputable forage libraries.
