Although often considered a solution for overweight equines, the truth is, slow feeders can offer enrichment to all horses. By helping to mimic more natural grazing behaviours these feeders can be a tool to help combat boredom as well as to help manage calorie intake. Making horses work a little harder for their food has many benefits but not all enrichment needs to involve food. In this episode we take a good look at the following:
- slow feed nets
- slow feeders that do not require nets
- things to consider when introducing slow feeders
- how to get your barn owner on-board with slow feeders
- how to slow the consumption of grain
- the benefits of track systems
- stall toys
