Although the horse has a single compartment stomach (like humans, pigs and dogs), the horse can utilize roughage like a cow or sheep which are ruminants (animals that use four stomachs to break down forages). This is possible because the horse has an unique type of large intestine.

Each type of nutrient has a different job in the horse's body. Lachlan Bell Sat, 18 Mar 2006 00:00:00 MST http://www.horsemanshiphorsetrainingtips.com/articles/174/1/Feeding-Your-Horse Every horse owner takes pride in the appearance, well being and health of their horse. The first step is to make sure that the horse is properly fed. You should watch your horse's temperment, eating habits, weight and condition carefully to ensure that you are providing the nutrition that your horse needs, in a consistant manner. Lachlan Bell Sat, 18 Mar 2006 00:00:00 MST http://www.horsemanshiphorsetrainingtips.com/articles/166/1/Water%3A-The-Overlooked-Nutrient The need for water is one of the basic motivating forces for all animals. Only a lack of air and severe pain initiate a greater response by animals than thirst. Thus, one of the five freedoms in evaluating animal welfare adopted by the UK Farm Animal Welfare Council is the "freedom from thirst, hunger and malnutrition" (Webster, 1996). However, there are contradictory views on how much water a horse needs and how best the water should be delivered. Dr. Nadia Cymbaluk Mon, 27 Feb 2006 00:00:00 MST http://www.horsemanshiphorsetrainingtips.com/articles/124/1/Nutrition-As-It-Relates-To-The-Hoof Common factors influencing the quality of the hoof are genetics, environment, farriery and nutrition. The horse's hoof is made up of or affected by all components of the equine diet, including protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. Since there is no one nutritional panacea for hoof health, balancing these components (based on the horse's age and lifestyle) is important for the overall health of the horse and its hooves.It is also important to review the research that has been conducted on how different nutrients may affect the growth of the hoof. And, to understand how nutrition can help or hinder the hoof, it is essential to understand how the horse digests and absorbs different components of its diet. Scott King, D.V.M. Fri, 10 Feb 2006 00:00:00 MST http://www.horsemanshiphorsetrainingtips.com/articles/121/1/Horse-Feeding Compared to other classes of livestock, there seems to be more myths and wives' tales when it comes to feeding horses. Many of these myths are long-held "traditions" that have been passed down unquestioned from horseman to horseman. Some myths are based on fear of causing harm to the horse. Other myths stem from lack of understanding of either the feed or how the horse may digest it.Over the past 30 years, many of the myths and wives' tales associated with the feeding of horses have been debunked through scientific study. So, why are these feeding rumours still circulating? Most likely the wives' tales persist because it is difficult to change tradition-"It has always been done that way." In addition, maybe we haven't been good enough at getting the word out there that certain feeding practices are unfounded. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to set the record straight! Lori K. Warren, PhD, PAS Wed, 08 Feb 2006 00:00:00 MST http://www.horsemanshiphorsetrainingtips.com/articles/107/1/Feeding-Your-Horse-To-Avoid-Problems All horses, no matter what age, need a properly balanced diet that is built around a forage base. Their bodies are built to use forage best. "Feeding horses is simple and needs to be kept that way. Don't ever supplement unless it is with the advice of a nutritionist or veterinarian" Linda March Sat, 04 Feb 2006 00:00:00 MST
