The best way to know how much you are feeding your horse is to buy a spring balance from a hardware shop, or your feed merchant, and weigh your feeds properly.
Saracen Horse Feeds have provided a helpful guide below which gives you a guide to the weight of most feeds when using a traditional round hand-scoop, filled level to the top (Image right).
N.B two different peoples scoop sizes (level or heaped) could produce a variation in weight as much as 50%.
