As you probably know, a horse’s grain should be determined by their workload as well as their dietary needs. However, most Haflingers aren’t in enough work that they need to be fed a significant amount of grain. Pregnant and nursing mares may require more, but most Haflingers need little to no grain.
When choosing a grain for a Haflinger, look for one with an appropriate protein content (typically 12-14%) that is low in sugar and starch. Haflingers do not need to be supplemented in sugar or starch (and likely fat), so typically a pelleted feed will be best.
