Question
hello ma'am, lets suppose if my horse's feed time in the morning is 9am, does anything happens if i feed my horse around either around 8:30am or 9:30am?

Answer
Hello Rohit,

Horses aren't terribly fussy what time of day they're fed.  What is important is how long the intervals are between feedings.  Horses should not be more than 4 hours without feed, and in my opinion should never be without forage.  You should schedule your feedings to ensure that they go longer than 4 hours without access to food irregardless of time of day.

Thanks, Corlena
