Watch this video - Horses, Pasture and Grazing - Part 2 - WHY DO HORSES EAT SO MUCH? WHY DO THEY NEED SO MUCH FOOD? and start to learn about what your horse REALLY WANTS YOU TO KNOW! Start to really ‘think like a horse’ and aim to have a happy, healthy horse with a healthy equibiome (gut biome). This is the second video in the series.
Are you worried about these issues? Your horse’s cresty neck, cushings, equine metabolic syndrome, fat pads, founder, laminitis, an obese overweight horse or PPID?
In order to have a healthy horse you need to learn about THESE subjects - better more holistic horse management, natural horsekeeping, horse behavior, (horse behaviour), better horse care, a natural horse diet, natural horse feeding and better horse pasture management.
You can create paddock paradise for your horse, but this series is NOT about creating a track system but is instead about The Equicentral System, a holistic approach to horse and land management, it includes the concept of regenerative grazing using horses.
Sign up here for the FREE mini-course about horses, pasture and grazing - www.equiculture.net/equicultu... and start learning about the very important things your horse really wants you to know!

I did know that it was important for horses to have high fibre food available at all time because of the constant flow of acid, I didn't know that tall grasses are lower in sugar than short grasses, very informative, thank you.

Yes Amanda, very much so and for several reasons, sugars tend to be stored at the base of the plant - apart from a period when the plant goes to seed, and the taller the plant is the older it is, so it is more fibrous because of that :)

Too much sweet new grass can actually cause colic and laminitis

Very interesting. Quite a difference of opinion on short and long grass. Makes sense to me but am aware that in general people put horses on short grass. Would explain as you mention about them being overweight and continuous eating

What seeds survive a horse's gut compared to a cow, sheep, goat? I think what you are saying is that horses "plant" prairies, whereas a cow, and sheep, goat might not have the same effect.

Yes, more seeds survive the digestive system of a horse :)
