Terms of Use

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using Horse Feed Calculator (horsefeedcalculator.com), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use this website. This website is operated by Schneider Saddlery.

2. Purpose of the Calculator

The Horse Feed Calculator is a free educational tool that provides general equine nutrition guidance based on published scientific standards (NRC, 2007). The calculator is designed to help horse owners and equine professionals estimate daily feeding requirements.

3. Not Veterinary Advice

IMPORTANT: The information provided by this calculator is for general educational purposes only and does not constitute veterinary advice, diagnosis, or treatment. The calculator provides estimates based on general population data and may not be appropriate for every individual horse.

Always consult a licensed veterinarian or board-certified equine nutritionist for:

• Horses with diagnosed medical conditions
• Horses that are underweight, overweight, or failing to thrive
• Breeding, pregnancy, or lactation nutrition planning
• Young horses with growth concerns
• Any situation where the health of the horse may be at risk

4. Accuracy and Limitations

While we strive for accuracy based on NRC (2007) standards, individual horses can vary significantly in their nutritional needs. The calculator:

• Provides estimates, not precise prescriptions
• Does not account for specific forage quality (we recommend hay testing)
• Uses national average cost estimates that may differ from local prices
• Cannot account for all possible health conditions or drug interactions

Schneider Saddlery and Horse Feed Calculator shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from the use of this calculator or reliance on its results. You use this tool at your own risk. Feeding decisions are ultimately the responsibility of the horse's owner or caretaker.
