🌽 “Friday Feeding” 🥕
Did you know that horses can't vomit?
Unlike humans and many other animals, horses have a one-way digestive system that prevents them from regurgitating their food. This is due to the angle at which the esophagus enters the stomach, as well as the strength of the cardiac sphincter muscle, which prevents food from traveling back up the esophagus.
This unique physiology makes it important for horse owners to carefully manage their horses' diets to prevent digestive issues. Because what goes down cannot come up and there is 100 ft of GI before coming out the other end!
