Back to Basics equine therapy

Horses are trickle feeders. They need access to feed 18 hours a day and they need to eat at least 1.5 to 2% of their body weight per day just to maintain their weight.

It takes 4-6 hours for a horse to completely empty its stomach. Horses have no gall bladder and constantly release gastric acid. If there is no feed in there to soak it up a horse will develop ulcers. Having an empty stomach will cause a horse to stress. They will release cortisol. Cortisol lowers blocks insulin and causes high blood glucose levels. This process cause leptin resistance and eventually equine metabolic syndrome. And that’s a nasty bastard, a major contributor to laminitis.

Horses need only 20 minutes rem sleep in a 24 hour period. So the rest of the time they are eating. If you feed your horse at 5 in the morning and they have finished it by 8am. That means by 12pm they have an empty stomach and are entering starvation stress mode.

So if you are a trainer or breaker and you tie up a horse for 6 hours to teach it a lesson. You have potentially just started that horse down the path of having ulcers. And that’s really sh*tty.

Unlike humans, horses are designed to run on a full stomach. Feeding your horse 2-3L of chaff or a biscuit of hay prior to exercise has two benefits :
1️⃣ The chaff will form a ball of feed in the stomach, which will help prevent acid from splashing up from the lower part of the stomach to cause gastric ulcers.
2️⃣ Blood is normally diverted away from the stomach during exercise, which reduces some of its normal protective mechanisms. Research has shown that feeding your horse before exercise actually reduces the amount of blood that is shunted away from the stomach and also increases the amount of blood delivered to the skeletal muscles and muscles of the chest. So not only are you helping to protect the stomach, you also might be improving your horse’s performance.
