<< 1. I know that grain should be increased and decreased gradually. My
question is if you only ride your horse 2 or 3 times a week, do you
decrease the grain on the rest days and increase on the ride days? >>
No. The recovery days are just as important as the work days as far as
supplying energy and protein are concerned. However, you don't want that horse
in a stall doing nothing on days off. Otherwise, no matter what quantity you
feed, you're liable to roll into a tying up syndrome with a fit horse after
about three days of stall confinement.
