Animal Management
Horse and equid management involves proper care, nutrition, housing, and health monitoring to ensure their well-being and performance. Some key aspects include: – Housing and environment, ensuring shelters preventing wind, rain, and extreme temperatures; horses thrive in pastures with adequate space for movement and social interactions; stables should be well-ventilated, clean, and provide comfortable bedding; nutrition and feeding should be adapted to their hindgut fermenters, meaning they need a diet rich in fiber (hay, grass); they require fresh water at all times; and specialized feeding plans are needed for performance horses, pregnant mares, and older equids.
