The Secret to Happy Horses: 24/7 Access to Forage, Freedom, and Friends As equestrians, we all want our horses to be happy and healthy. We strive to provide them with the best care possible, but sometimes it can be challenging to know exactly what they need. The secret to happy horses lies in three simple yet crucial elements: 24/7 access to forage, freedom, and friends. Forage, or access to food, is a fundamental need for horses. In the wild, horses spend the majority of their day grazing on grass and other vegetation. This natural behavior is essential for their digestive health and overall well-being. When horses are given limited access to forage, they can develop issues such as ulcers, colic, and behavioral problems. By providing our horses with 24/7 access to forage, we are allowing them to mimic their natural grazing behavior, which promotes a healthy digestive system and a happier horse. Freedom is another vital element for horse happiness. Horses are naturally social animals that thrive in a herd environment. In the wild, they roam freely and interact with other horses, forming strong bonds and hierarchies. When horses are confined to small spaces or isolated from their herd, they can become stressed, anxious, and even develop vices such as cribbing or weaving. By giving our horses the freedom to move and interact with other horses, we are fulfilling their social needs and promoting their mental well-being. Friends, or companionship, play a significant role in a horse's happiness. Horses are herd animals, and they rely on the companionship of other horses for comfort and security. When horses are kept alone, they can become lonely and depressed. By providing our horses with the opportunity to form friendships and bonds with other horses, we are enriching their lives and ensuring their emotional well-being. At King Equestrian Center, we understand the importance of these three elements for horse happiness. That's why we prioritize providing 24/7 access to forage, freedom, and friends for all our horses. Our spacious pastures allow our horses to graze freely on lush green grass, mimicking their natural grazing behavior.
