Feeding Your Horse Often

How many times should you feed your horse each day? The answer is not as simple as it seems. Most nutritionists suggest feeding your horse as often as possible. To tackle this issue in this episode we first chat about the physiology of the horse’s digestive system and how this impacts how often a horse should be fed. We also address the different types of feed and how this influences how fast that feed travels through their digestive system. When it comes to feeding meals to your horse, for some horses once a day might work and we discuss which situations this might be appropriate. For most owners, they feed meals twice a day just due to the labor involved. That can work for your animal and we discuss some strategies to optimize your horse's health. We then go into why feeding meals more frequently than twice a day might benefit your animal. We share some tips and suggestions, especially when it comes to the forage portion of the horse’s diet, that should benefit any horse owner.
