We normally leave for a ride on Friday morning. He gets his normal grain
before we leave and another one when we arrive. (2xs normal daily feed) I
give him a snack later in the day if it was a short drive. I give him
Saturday's breakfast, plus a little, late Friday night (after ride
meeting, before bed) and give him a snack first thing when I get up. These
are all slurry feeds with electrolytes. He is offered grain(slurry) and
hay free choice at every stop and grain (normal greed x2) after the finish.
He normally will eat most of it and snack until it is gone.
By the time we head home, he is back on his normal feeding schedule.
