Providing small amounts of hay before exercise and providing water at a constant rate is always recommended. As for concentrated feed, it is recommended that it not be provided 2 to 3 hours before the event. On the other hand, providing concentrated feed immediately after exercise can hinder the horse's recovery. Therefore, the ideal would be to provide hay and water first and then a meal of concentrated feed can be provided, which ideally will occur 1.5 hours after exercise.
