Feeding

If we did not confine our horses to paddocks and fields, they would walk about for miles each day continually grazing on an incredible variety of dry and newly sprouted grasses, weeds, seeds, a few fruits, and flowers. These are the nutritional mainstays of our horse’s natural diet. The free-roaming horse will also chew on an occasional bush or tree, nibbling at branches and bark and he will also search out the perfect buried or half-buried rock to lick in order to satisfy his craving for various minerals and salt. It is in this manner that the free-roaming horse meets his nutritional needs, dental needs, and self-medicates.
