Fun facts about feeding hay (because we love the sound of horses eating over here)!

Did you know…

Horses graze for 18+ hours per day!

Hay provides essential fibre for energy, and also
fill in the intestine.

Constant access to hay means that the stomach and hind gut (critical organs for digestion) will be occupied to avoid creating problems like ulcers.

Horses should never be more than 4 hours without hay. Being without hay can cause healthy gut flora to be affected, which can lead to all sorts of problems.

Moldy hay should never be fed as it may contain mycotoxins which cause lack of appetite, weight loss, diarrhea, slobbers, and neurological conditions.

Horses like hay because it’s a means to satisfy their natural foraging instincts. Once we put a fence around them, it is our obligation to feed them!

At first glance, we see the horse as a student.

In reality, the horse is the teacher.

The horse teaches us our limitations.
But, it also helps us overcome them.

The horse unveils our weaknesses.
But, it also helps us build new strengths.

The horse sees us at our worst.
But, it also helps us become our best.

The horse challenges us to be present.
But, it also makes us look forward to the future.

The horse demands a lot from us.
But, it also gives us more than we could ever return.

The horse is one of the greatest teachers we will ever have—if we allow ourselves to slow down long enough to be good students.
