Pleasure/Maintenance – Horses kept for pleasure or occasional riding and considered “easy keepers.” Often spend time in pasture, maintain their weight and do well on maintenance feeds.

Performance – Horses that do some type of physical activity such as riding, training, pulling or carrying a load. With an increased activity level, an active performance horse typically requires increased caloric intake.

Growing/Breeding – Growing, developing or breeding horses. Includes foals (under a year) or yearlings (between 1-2), up until about 4 years old, along with mares that are breeding, pregnant or lactating and breeding stallions.

Pony/Mini – Horses under 14.2 hands (under 58 inches) for ponies or up to 38 inches for miniature horses.
