Frequency of Feeding Frequency of feeding has a great deal to do with the feed utilization and condition of the horse. It is recom­ mended that the rations listed in Table 1 be divided into three equal feeds, given morning, noon, and night. Feed may be kept before creep- fed foals so long as it is clean and sweet.
