My wife and I are relatively new to draft horses - we've now got two Belgians.
Like anything, you tend to get a million conflicting recommendations on feed from people who all seem to know what they're talking about.
I think what that boils down to is: "it really doesn't matter, just give them something to eat".

Since I'm going to seed it, and since this field is small enough that all the hay from it will only go to those two horses, I figured I might as well buy the best mix I can for draft horses.
I'm in Massachusetts by the way.
I don't expect there to be a magic formula of an "absolute best" mix - but just looking for some general guidance if anybody has a thought to share.
