Challenging the status quo of horse feeding

A horse’s digestive system is designed for continuous grazing—typically 16 to 18 hours per day. Traditional bulk feeding methods, especially when feedings are spaced too far apart, can disrupt this natural process and lead to digestive issues.

Ideally, horses should be fed more than two or three times per day, but this is often too time-consuming and labor-intensive for owners. Many horses also struggle to maintain a healthy weight on round bales or when given unrestricted access to slow feeders. These challenges are further compounded by limited access to adequately sized grass turnouts and increased nutritional demands during changing weather conditions.
