The Process
The first thing I had to do was dig a little deeper to find out what foods horses can and can't have. I know that horses can have a very sensitive diet, I wanted to make sure that I wouldn't be giving them anything bad, but it was also just good for me to know. We all know that horses can have apples, carrots, and grain. I was surprised to find out that they can also have bananas with the peal, it was something I never thought about. It's this kind of stuff of that I can use on an everyday basis.
Once I had a better understanding of the foods I shouldn't give my horse I thought about how I would try to narrow it down. By doing this I looked at the 6 general categories of nutrition:
I though about many foods that would be high in one or many of these. Then I took those foods and looked at the actual nutrients that would be in the type of food. I picked the foods that had the highest in the categories. |
