Energy Requirements
Calorie needs vary by horse and activity and must be adjusted accordingly. A 1,000-pound “low-activity” horse might be able to maintain its weight with 16,000 Calories per day, while a horse doing heavier work could require as many as 36,000. (To put this in perspective, consider this: The average daily energy requirement for a young human adult male is 2,700 Calories per day.)
