Why Slow Feeding Matters

Supporting Digestive Health Through Natural Intake Patterns:

Horses are grazing animals designed to eat small amounts over many hours each day. When hay is consumed too quickly, the digestive system becomes unbalanced—raising the risk of colic, ulcers, and behavioral stress.
