What type of food do horse riders eat?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Are you keeping the horse as a race horse? Or is he/she now a pleasure horse.

If it is still a race horse then a high protein (14%) sweet feed is recommended. You will want around 7% crude fat and around the same in fiber. Also look at the feed tag for selenium and biotin, you should also have vit A, D and maybe E.

Quantity is another question - I feed my trainers 2 quarts in the morning and another 4-6quarts, depending on body condition in the after noon. This needs to be supplemented with 25lb of hay a day divided between 2 feedings.

If the horse is now a pleasure horse then use a pellet feed with about 10% protean and 5-7% fat. The feed should have all the goodies that the above does. Quantity will depend on body condition and usage. Less than above at night if pleasure horse (3-4q)

If you don't know body condition then consult your vet. I have also consulted my vets when switching feed

If the horse is under 4 years of age you should feed OCD supplement.

Is showjumping an expensive sport?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends how much you are willing to spend

To elaborate, much of it depends on the level of riding at which you're competing, and how much training you're willing to put into your horse. Showjumping on smaller circuits can be very affordable if you approach it with some common sense and practicality. Ask around at shows about working as a groom in order to learn how to properly turn out a horse for showjumping, as well as how to care for a horse doing things such as properly applying standing and polo wraps with or without liniment. If you learn how to do this before starting your show career, you can save hundreds on grooms and basic veterinary care.

The most important considerations are buying only the essentials and working your way toward more knowledge and connections - this can lead to finding a trainer at a discounted rate if you work for them as a stable hand at shows!

What is more athletic horseback riding or baseball?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I personally have never actually rode a horse, non other than a mere Mule, but, I am currently on a tennis team. Tennis is a very fun sport, shockingly not as boring as shown on tv. It's a good workout, keeps you active, and the feeling of knowing you hit an amazing shot just makes all of your work worth it.

So, I guess Tennis is better, in my opinion, so if you really want to play one of the two, I would highly suggest going with your gut on it. :) Hope I helped!

What are the rules for hunter jumper?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Hunters and jumpers are two English riding disciplines that both involve working over jumps, but with different goals.

  • Hunters have a simple pattern of 8-12 jumps, involving usually straight lines and a basic figure-8 figuration. Horses are rewarded for cadence, balance, rhythm, form, and obedience. The strides in a jumping line (two jumps up to about 84ft apart) are measured out to accommodate a 12' stride, and horses are penalized if they do not make the correct striding. The horses are not timed at all, so speed is no factor.
  • Jumpers have a more complex pattern of jumps, usually with about 12-15 jumping efforts. The jumper course is harder to learn, often with several intertwining paths, and options to make an inside turn to cut corners. There is no judging involved, only timing. Also, horses are penalized for knocking rails, refusing, or taking longer than the maximum time.

In conclusion, a "hunter jumper" horse does not refer to a specific quality, just the fact that a horse jumps rides English.
