Diet

[snyder78]

Hello
I have been doing some research on the best diet for a draft. So as part of it I would like to ask here what you guys/girls feed your drafts. For your info I plan to do logging, farming and I am looking at getting a 12 year old Belgian weighing 1500lb-1750lb. I have not owned a horse before but have worked on horse farms and helped around the family farms.
Thanks
Albert

Enjoy. And congrats on your new draft horse. Will he/she have company? Most (though not all) horses do poorly when living alone.
