If you are refering to a feed for your horse then it depends entirly upon the type of horse, cob, throughbred, heavy horse etc, as well as the activity level, temperment and age of your horse. The best thing you can do is go and talk to your local feed merchant. They will know what products are available and what would be suitable for your horse

Depends on your horse's needs.
Check with your local feed mill, get a sample, and get a sample of the hay you are feeding.
Take that to your local Extension or Agriculture office to get it tested (good to get hay tested at least once a year)-- you'll find out what minerals are in each, and the levels.
Most "prepared" feeds like Purina, Buckeye, Progressive (my fav) are already properly balanced for most horses.
Make sure your horse has access to a mineral salt block. And, if in a selenium deficient area, have vet do a blood test, and you may want to add a Vit E & Selenium supplement.
Don't overdo it-- and be smart! Over supplementing is worse than none at all!!

Feeding a horse is dependent on the height, weight and age of your horse as well as the type of work he will do.
If you are in doubt about what to feed speak to your local feed supplier or call one of the "big" brands. Most of them, such as Dodsen and Horrell, Baileys, Spillers, etc have helplines.
