2.2 lbs is sufficient for 100 lbs pounds of body weight so:
per pound requirement = 2.2/100 = 0.022
requirement for 900 lbs body = 0.022 x 900 = 19.8lbs
19.8 lb
2.2 x 9 = 19.8 pounds of hay per day.
19.8 lbs of hay.
19.8 pounds of hay
2.2 x 9 = 19.8 lbs.
19.8
Depends on the weight of the horse, the age of the horse, how hard the horse is working, the type of grain, and how well they keep their weight on just hay. The nutritional value of the hay your horse is being fed can also affect how much grain your horse needs. If you are trying to put weight on, the horse generally needs more grain. If you're trying to reduce the weight of your horse, they generally need less or none at all. If a horse is not being worked at all, they do not need grain unless they cannot keep weight on with out it.
You multiply 2.2 by 9 to get 19.8lbs, or about 20lbs.
If a horse needs 2.2lbs of hay per 100lbs of body weight per day, a 900lb horse needs 19.8lbs of hay per day. 2.2 times the value of (900 divided by 100)=19.8 900 divided by 100 is equal to 9 2.2 times 9 is equal to 19.8
It would be 2.2 x 9, so the answer would be 19.8 pounds of hay per day!
for howrse ... 19.8 Answer 2: Horses require anywhere from 1% to3% of their body-weight in feed a day. Going by a strict number such as 2.2 pounds of hay per 100 pounds of body-weight can cause problems if the horse is an easy or hard keeper as it may be too much or too little. However at 2.2 pounds per 100 pounds of body-weight for a 900 pound horse that would equal out to 19.8 pounds of hay a day. ( 2.2 x9=19.8).
You can really ride a horse how much you want depends on the horse is it fit? is it over weight and needs excersising? you could ride it every day if you really wanted to but not for a very long time.
howrse: 19.8 poundsIt depends on how much work the horse is doing and how much other food its getting.
Their size matters. Horses are grazing animals so there stomachs are relatively small, designed to digest small amounts of food almost continuously. You have to be carefull on how much you feed them. The amount of food your horse needs varies according to activity, age, breed, weather, quality of feed, quality of shelter, condition of teeth, etc. As a general rule, a horse needs 2 to 2.2 pounds of feed for every 100 pounds of body weight. (You can buy a weight tape to measure how much your horse weighs.) For example, an average 1000 lb horse would need 20 to 25 pounds of feed a day. Most of that should be hay. A typical diet for a horse being ridden for one hour five days a week would be 2 to 5 pounds of grain and 15 to 20 pounds of hay a day, split into at least two separate meals.
That depends on the weight of the bales, the weight of the horse, the current body condition of the horse, the use of the horse and whether or not the horse has another source of forage such as pasture along with hay. Horses require 1.5%-3% of their body weight in forage per day. For a 1000lb horse that is 15 lbs of hay or grass at least per day. If the horse is working hard or needs to gain weight, then the amount of forage required per day increases.
