Hello Laura how are you doing?

Don't worm your horse to often, some people worm every month and some people worm every season change. It depends. But always switch between two different wormers (preferably by the same brand/company) each time you worm so that they don't get immune to that one same wormer.

hey Becky, I enjoy your videos. I have been a horse trainer for 20 plus years. You are not wrong with your feeding program for the breed of horse you own. You are also not wrong about a low sugar diet. However, your diet recommendations are very low in protein. if you have a young horse, a broodmare , a stallion, a hard keeper, or a horse in heavy work you will need a lot more protein than oats can provide. you can fulfill this protein need by feeding alfalfa hay. you can also feed beet pulp , blackstrap molasses , alfalfa cubes , and/or a complete feed that doesn't have all of the unnatural fillers in it. you are right to advise to soak your feed in water for several minutes before feeding as this makes the feed easier for the horse to chew and digest. high quality hay is also more important than just feeding hay continuously. Sometimes hay rolls in certain areas get really dusty and full of weeds and can be very low in protein and nutrition. Your little Haflinger is adorable and will do well on your diet for the rest of it's life. But just know if you had a viewer with a Thoroughbred or a yearling this diet may not be adequate

+Avram Powell. I have owned, trained many different horse breeds, donkey and now mules for 25 years and they all do well on this diet. The only thing people will need to adjust is the amount of oats. Older horses that can't chew the oats anymore need to have them ground up in a Nutribullet. Good Grass hay has plenty of protein. Feed the way you like, people just can't help themselves they like to complicate things. I keep it simple and natural. 🐝😀🐷🐝☀️🐔

I agree, this diet is not bad. But it is not for certain types of horses. For example working horses or event horses. As they get more work to do, they need more energy. I'm not saying they should get it from sugar, but they need it. I worked on a farm with horses, that worked in mountains, to carry down the wood. And they needed lots of grain. It would be really interesting to see video about diet for hard working horses.

when you give horses free access to hay, you dont always want the best nutritional hay. if you do, you'll just end up with obese horses. giving horses access to hay 24/7 can prevent stomach sores. i agree that not every horse is the same, and needs to be fed acordingly. i own 3 horses atm. a warmblood a fjord and a shetland. the shetlands only gets hay and vitamins, since she's fat and i dont want her to gain any weight. the warmblood is an easy keeper and i just feed her some pellets in the winter time besides the hay. the fjord (funny enough) is somewhat of a hard keeper and i feed her alfalfa hay besides the hay in the paddock, and she gets barly plus some müsli. diet and dietary needs also highly depend on how much work they do. are they an eventing horse or a pasture pet?

Avram Powell actually, you should feed your horse alfalfa hay quite rarely. That's because feeding horses too much alfalfa can cause health issues. Becky also doesn't do crazy sporting, and has smaller sized horses that don't require the high protein diets. Protein is meant for a very hard working horse, but Becky's horses are meant for joy riding. Therefor, they don't require that diet.

My cousin has an Arab gelding and he got colic from eating alfalfa hay and was told to not give him any more.

Great video!

Becky good job

Thank you. Such good info

Sprout the oats and see how the horses go mad for that green- nuff said. --forgot to mention, the vitamin content goes up a LOT when you sprout, so no need for supplements!

wow amazing!! I am getting a horse soon and your videos helped me a lot! thx

Im the exact same way! I only give mine crimped oats! We have barrels of them and i throw them some maybe once a week, or after a ride as a treat. If ur horse is on pasture, and has salt/minerals, then they should be fine. And yes, my horses aways have the same temperament as well, Socker is pretty relaxed and laid back, Sugar is the same but has a bit more spunk. I never have to worry if theyre in a mood or not.

Thx I am getting a horse this is so helpful

Beautiful Horse

hi I love your videos I always learn from them every time I watch them love your beautiful horse to :]

I love that u let ur animals roam free and u do things naturally, but if u feel like trying, u should try to ride ur horses without bits and sometimes try it. They will have to get used to it, but it will be more natural. After all, animals aren't "made" to have bits in their mouth or anything on them. It expands ur horsemanship skills and I feel like u would do great at teaching them how to do it!😊🤗

He is ready to roll. I love how you went on about the sad (sad american diet). I live in Tucson, Az. Dont have horses but will get two in the near future. I love animals, probably more than people.

great advice.

beautiful horse

This is very informative, and great video!!! NEW SUBSCRIBER!!!

Wow we didn't even know that we don't we raise horses Becky my name's Joseph but unreal that's good that's great that you can make the animal much much healthier that's great God bless you☺☺

Your horse is so pretty, ive always wanted one

Hi Becky I just wanted to drop in and say hello!!! Love your videos I need to catch up, haven't been able to watch lately.

little Stompy. ♡

so helpful

Hello There Becky! Just a little quick question. For example I don't have my own horse but I have ridden horses in the past that get grain day and night , the owners will put molasses grain or FM senior grain, they say it depends on the horse's age if they should get molasses grain or FM senior. I know molasses grain is actually kind of sugary like you said. so example if I had my own horse and if I were to give them grain should I give it to them everyday or just once a week or once a month?

Your horses look beautiful

Grain is not bad, it’s not garbage. Grain helps horses with digestion, my horse is metabolic, and if he didn’t have his special grain he would be dead. Grain helps older horses with a lot of things

Hello Annie how are you doing...?

I grew up on a farm, they had horses there and for a treat was just plain oats. (chopped up farmer really got it ready for cows), But i sneaked a cup each to the thoroughbreds on his farm once in awhile while I gave them flakes of alfafa.

this is my new horse feed.

HE IS SO CUTE

i love horses

I would say a good food choice is oats, its very nutritious and something that your horse loves!

Where do you get your barley and wheat from? I'm having a hard time finding large amounts?

your horse is so beautiful I am in love with it

Can you fee those oats to a lactating goat? I never thought about the sugar aspect but it makes sense.

omg so cute.

I love all your videos Becky, thank you for all the input and advice! How much Diatomacious Earth do you add to their feed per day? Is this amount something you need to build up to or can you start out with that amount?

Enjoyed it Becky always do...question.....we are building our homestead here and NW FL and of course I want animals like you have...for budgeting purposes would you share a video on how much it costs for vet bills, feed, etc. for all the homestead?

i love her accent!

And I like your channel

Where and what kind of Timothy grass pellets do you feed?

An important thing to add, is for competitive horses they may need muscle/tendon supplements. My personal horse is a highly competitive Hunter jumper and he gets SmartPaks bute, tendon, muscle, and joint supplements. His food also is given dry not watered down and they are all very happy :) Excellent video again though! I love your channel :)

+Becky's Homestead yes! I l love your theory's and videos they are always so great :) your animals are always healthy and happy and your videos are amazing as well!

You are the 1st homesteader I've seen who has horses, mules and donkeys. I hope that means that you aren't planning to eat them... Just kidding. At least you can use the manure for good compost. I had my mule till he was almost 30 years old. :)

sugar is in grass and hay too lol

You can feed your horse as much sugar and carbs depending on how much you ride. If you take your horse on long rides and fast rides regularly, they need more sugar for energy, whereas if they are in light work only being ridden once or twice maybe three times a week on a slow ride they don’t need as much sugar.

I know of a KZread channel called Rick Gore's Think Like A Horse where Mr. Gore himself discusses natural horsemanship and how to really understand your equine. Despite his annoying rants, he offers plenty of positive constructive criticism, debunks horse myths, and never sugarcoats reality. Yet people are always killing the messenger towards him because of his teachings. If you're willing to listen, you should give his free lessons a try, Becky, your barnyard friends will ever be grateful you did! :)

Is it okay if you feed your horse a little bit of sugar every once in a while for a special little treat?

it's funny how horse care varies depending where you live, lol! Here in Alberta you don't need a salt blocks ( salt is easily accessible here), oats grow naturally out in fields especially where I live and we don't really need to worry about rabies as much since rabies hasn't been here for years.

do you have a video/ would you make a video on how you worm and do you know of any organic alternatives to supplements?

That horse or pony is cute.

You’re such a good “animal mommy”.

Good

how often do you give your horses some feed

My horses live in a tick invested area. And one of my horses scratches all the time and she had a nice long mane and a beautiful clean none scratched face and now she has a mowehawk (don't know how to spell it!) and her face has SRATCHES GALLOR! please help! how can I help my horses!!!!!!

How much DE do you use? Love the Haflinger.! Triple crown makes Lite. I have a fat Morgan and a mini. Minis have special needs with food. Oats can make your horse fat. The mixes have the vitamins and minerals that the oats alone don't have. Our soils are mostly depleted, which is why vitamins are in our foods too.

Woooww u actually got a horse this time impressive

Can i use this for ponies too? I'm a begginer.
