Feeding a Horse Based on Nature’s Foundation for Health

by

natural horse nutrition

Feeding a horse should be based on a natural and appropriate diet – this is one of the key principles for maintaining a healthy equine partner as part of your natural horse care program.

Nutrition is a huge subject that’s both a science and an art.  Keeping that in mind, it’s not realistic to cover such a subject in great detail in a short article, however, what I can cover are some basic elements you need to consider when it comes to feeding a horse naturally.

In my opinion, diet is one of the most important ingredients in overcoming health problems in our horses as well as in ourselves.

Paddock Paradise Book Review – A Guide to Natural Horse Boarding by Jaime Jackson

by

Paddock Paradise
When I first started down the natural hoof care route in 2002, I struggled with the concept of creating more movement for my horses.  I hated confining them to a “dry lot” and I couldn’t allow my laminitic-prone horse out on a big pasture with lush green grass.

I know that feeling of being torn between my horse not getting enough movement and the danger of turning her out on pasture during high-risk times of the year.

As I’ve stated in many of my previous articles, movement is the number one ingredient to a naturally healthy horse and especially for healthy hoof form.

3 Key Ingredients to a Naturally Healthy Horse

3 Key Ingredients
Like so many organizations, Soulful Equine has a vision and we work each day to stay true to that vision in everything we do.

In my earlier article, Integrity Breeds Trust And Loyalty, I said that according to Wikipedia, one way to tell if someone has integrity is to see if “they behave according to the values, beliefs and principles they claim to hold.”

It’s a tall order, and we at Soulful Equine strive for it daily.

We have core principles, and we write about these principles and our experiences in hopes that people will find something useful that gets them one step closer to helping their horses thrive despite domestication.

7 Warning Signs That Your Horse Keeping Is Inferior

Warning signs
What’s the first horse keeping practice that benefits the overall health of your equine companion?

Imagine that you’ve just walked out to your barn or you’ve arrived at your boarding facility excited to spend time with your horse.  She whinnies for you and as you approach her stall she tries so hard to stick her cute nose through the bars to greet you.

As you pull her out of the stall, she steps out somewhat stiff as she usually does.  You don’t think anything of it because you’re use to this and you may even think it’s normal.

As equine caregivers, we often wonder if what we’re doing for our equine companions is in their best interest.

Could it be possible that your horse keeping is inferior and your equine partner is trying to tell you something?  What your horse is probably trying to tell you is that you’re breaking the first rule of natural horse care.
