What Are Your Horse's Nutritional Needs?

Horses are herbivores and foragers by nature and their nutritional needs are rooted in these natural instincts. They eat grasses and other foraged plants as their primary source of nutrition. Horses are most content when they can nibble 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Although it is not always possible to let our horses graze to their hearts' content, one way to satisfy their urge to chew and provide essential nutrients is to feed high quality hay on a regular schedule.
