Equine Dietary Information

Horses are natural grazing animals and they may spend up to 60% of their lifetime eating.  Few horses today have the freedom to graze as nature intended, and instead have had to adapt to modern stabling methods and busy human schedules.  They prefer to eat small amounts of food steadily throughout the day, just like they do when grazing in pasture, the reason for this is linked to the anatomy of their digestive system and their small stomach which has a capacity of only 12/15 litres. The stomach continually produces acids and if these acids aren’t neutralized properly with regular managed feeding, the horse could suffer Colic or develop Equine Gastric Ulcer Syndrome.

Equine Dietary Information
It is important to consider the anatomy and biology of the horse to enable you to understand how you can provide and manage an adequate feeding system that will keep your horse healthy and prevent illness and disease forming. A diet that involves only 2 or 3 meals per day will only result in an unhappy and unhealthy animal. Without regular roughage your horse’s stomach will create an acid build up which will eventually lead to further health deterioration.  Good feeding management will result in the wellbeing of your horse and promote growth, reproduction and performance.
