“That horse is feeling its oats” is a common idiom that can actually apply to any type of grain-based feed. Oats, corn, barley, and bran – and pelleted and sweet feeds made of that stuff – are all simple carbohydrates (sugars and starches) that pack a high-calorie punch.
It’s a commonly held belief that oats send all horses sky-high. In fact, as with any concentrates, if they are fed in proportion to the level of work actually being done, rather than anticipated, oats rarely cause a problem.
Many horse owners will top dress or add oats to a horse’s diet in addition to a commercial feed. This can pose problems though, as oats can alter the key ratios (notably calcium/phosphorus) that have been provided by the commercial feed.
