Hartpury Saddlery Top Tips-Scoop Measures

Scoop measures

It is important to know how much feed is appropriate 
for your horse.
Most feed manufactures will pace feeding guides on the feed 
bags as a guide, however it is important to not only know 
what your individual horse requires but to be accurate
so as to avoid fluctuations to keep & his optimum healthy
weight- (More on this in our next top tips)

The best way to know how much you are feeding your horse
 is to buy a spring balance from a hardware shop, or your feed 
merchant, and weigh your feeds properly, however to help you out
Saracen horse feeds have provided a helpful guide below which gives you a guide 
to the weight of most feeds when using a traditional round hand-scoop, filled level.

N.B two different peoples scoop sizes (level or heaped) could produce a variation
 in weight as much as 50%.

Saracen feeds and more are now available on our NEW CLICK & COLLECT service
