Providing small amounts of hay before exercise and providing water constantly is always recommended. As for concentrated food, it is recommended that it not be given 2 to 3 hours before the test. On the other hand, providing concentrated food right after exercise can make it difficult for the horse to recover. Thus, the ideal would be to provide hay and water first and then a meal of concentrated feed can be provided, which ideally will be 1.5 hours after exercise.
