Whenever you’re making a feed, hay or pasture change, it’s critical to make changes slowly, monitor behavior and keep an eye on feed intake. For example, when making grain changes, take 10 to 14 days to transition to the new feed. It’s a good practice to transition slowly with significant hay changes, too. In the spring season, the key is to start with minimal grazing at first and gradually increase pasture time over several weeks until horses adapt. (Kristyn Sturken)
