Did you know if a horse is free to be a horse and roam the fields without human intervention they will eat for 16-18 hours a day.
Horses are genetically programmed to eat 12/hours daily.
So what happens when horses are only fed twice a day and are on shavings and not allowed out?
The horses will get used to this routine and the genetic wish for eating will be depressed and bad behavior and other medical problems will come to the fore.
If you use straw as bedding, a low energy hay and “spray” Astrid’s Oil over the hay, you have eliminated many problems!
