feeding early in the morning lightly like a breakfast

Question
hello sir, you told me that you would feed your stable horses lightly like giving a breakfast early in the morning 1 hour before you start exercising them. then, may i know in how much quantity you feed your horses, tell me about both fodder and forage. what all you feed them early in the morning just for stamina?

Answer
HI -- I ALWAYS WOULD FEED THE HORSE 1 QUART OF OATS, JUST TO GIVE THEM A VERY LIGHT BREAKFAST. NO HAY OR ANY OTHER FEED, JUST 1 QUART OF OATS. THEN AFTER THEY ARE ALL COOLED OUT AND RESTED I WOULD FEED THEM A LIGHT LUNCH. . THEN AT NIGHT I WOULD FEED THEM THEIR MAIN MEAL AND SOME HAY BEFORE I LEFT THE BARN FOR THE NIGHT. THANKS ED HESS
