All the information is great and very useful. I would like to know how much would be the minimum that would be suggested for horses 6-12, 1,000 lbs. Due to the economy funds aren’t going far these days and with 9 (some rescue)horses to feed I’m looking to make sure all are healthy and happy in my care.

Ditto Donald: I’d like to see a study that shows how blanketing impacts equine calorie needs/intake. The UK college of Ag. would be an ideal candidate to tackle that project!

Good point about smaller horses having more surface to lose heat from!
