You don't mention what feed they are already getting. I'm guessing that you
are the barn manager, and in charge of the entire barn?
Before we can advise, we would need to know what each horse is getting for
feed (pounds per feeding, fat & fiber content), and what the activity level
of the horses is. Also, how much hay are they getting?
Knowing these things, we can then help you develop a better feed regimen for
these horses.
