* To meet nutrient requirements, do not feed less than 0.7 lbs per 100 lbs body weight per day. If your horse gains too much weight at that minimum feeding rate, transition to a ration balancer such as Purina• Enrich Plus• ration balancing feed.

** Make sure your horse is free of dental problems and can effectively chew and utilize forage. This is the recommended minimum amount of hay to be fed. If feeding more hay, you may reduce the feeding rate of Smart Edge Senior horse feed to maintain appropriate body condition.

See tag for full directions.
