Horse Feed Calculator is a free tool built by Schneider Saddlery, a family-owned equine supply company that has been serving the horse community since 1948. For over 75 years, we've helped riders, trainers, and barn managers care for their horses with quality equipment, expert advice, and genuine passion for the equine world.

Horses with diagnosed medical conditions should be managed under veterinary supervision. We always recommend having your hay tested through a forage analysis lab for the most accurate feeding plan.
