Because of the agony, horses, lose a sense of what they are doing and can be in danger for serious injury in this type of situation. individuals who love, breed, or ride horses have heard of intestinal colic.

While you may believe this is a easy thing to do - feed your horse - you’d be surprised at the amount of horse owners that don’t know about the fundamental principles. There is no real rule of thumb for feeding, as all horse’s nutrition requires will vary depending on age, size and level of activity. Grass is the most fundamental part of a horse diet.
