- Product Highlights
Both feral horses in nature and pastured horses spend 14 - 16 hours per day ingesting fodder high in raw fiber. When temperatures are high, insects are particularly annoying or when the weather is wet and cold, horses shorten their feeding times. When they have a choice, however, horses rarely spend more than three hours with feeding. In general, horses will have a couple of bites to eat every hour. In the course of evolution, their digestive systems have adapted to such feeding behavior, characterized by long feeding times and a continuous uptake of fodder. Deviations from this feeding behavior frequently lead to digestive problems and behavioral disorders.
For reasons of time and because many horses are kept in stalls nowadays, not enough attention is given to this feeding behavior. Horses are unable to satisfy their need to chew and boredom is inevitable. It is therefore important to keep horses occupied, especially when they are kept in stalls in an environment that provides little stimulation.
