Feeding forage 1st is one of the top contributors of digestive health discomfort. Use Code 2025 for 20% off at freedomfeeder.com

There are dozens of different conditions that can cause a horse to show signs of abdominal pain. Most (but not all) involve the digestive system, most often the stomach or intestines. Therefore, it stands to good reason that understanding the anatomy of your horse’s digestive system can help you become a better steward for your equine friend.

Fun fact: many people associate digestive health with stomach health. But did you know that the horse has the smallest stomach in relation to body size of all domestic animals? The stomach of the horse is also the smallest unit of the digestive tract, comprising less than 10% of the total volume of the horse’s digestive tract. By contrast, the hindgut is huge and plays a significant role in the horse’s digestive process by serving as the home of friendly bacteria that ferment fiber and turn it into energy.

Hindgut problems can produce obvious physical signs like loss of weight, poor condition, poor performance, diarrhea and colic. Some symptoms however can be less obvious, like poor temperament and training issues. The key to ensuring good digestive health is good management practices that include (but are not limited to) establishing a set daily routine; feeding a high-quality diet comprised primarily of high-quality roughage; avoid overloading the digestive tract with concentrate rations; providing clean, fresh water at all times; establishing a regular turnout and exercise routine; setting up a regular deworming and dental care program with your veterinarian; reducing stress and making any changes (to diet, housing and exercise) gradually.

Consult your veterinarian about how to maximize your horse’s digestive health. A healthy horse is a happy horse!

This is our Day net installed like a mail slot in a 4' stall gate. Just throw flakes in from the outside. Works great!

Our hearts go out to all those affected by the wildfires ravaging California. As a company based in Southern California, we are grateful that our team has not been directly impacted, but we know many families and communities are facing immense loss.

We are especially thinking of those who’ve had to evacuate, including the horse owners working tirelessly to ensure the safety of their animals. Horses are much more than livestock—they are family, and the pain of losing them or keeping them safe in such uncertain times is indescribable.

Winter is here, and your horse is munching more hay! 🐴❄️

As your horse increases their hay intake during the colder months, it’s crucial to make sure they're also drinking enough water and getting the right amount of salt. 💧🧂

🔑 Why it matters: Eating large amounts of hay without enough water can lead to dehydration, increasing the risk of life-threatening colic.

✅ Tips to help:

Always provide fresh, clean water and make sure it’s not too cold!
Offer a salt block or add electrolytes to encourage drinking.
Keep your horse healthy and hydrated this winter to prevent any issues down the road. 🐴💙

Always a good reminder when blanketing and using hay nets!

As blanket season is in full force upon us, here is a very important reminder courtesy of the horse doctors at Miamitown Equine Veterinary Services:

"When securing blankets, make sure that the snaps/clips are facing inward, toward the horse! If they are facing out, they can easily become stuck on something, like the hay net in the picture."
