Basic Horse Care---What Every Horse Needs.

What could be more basic than food? Yes, horses need to eat. But what's the best diet for them? Should you feed your horse oats? Does grain make a horse hot? What if your horse is insulin resistant. How much hay does a horse need daily? 

Relax! Here's everything you need to know about horse nutrition. Horses also need to be dewormed regularly because they are grazing animals. Even if they don't spend any time in a pasture, they still have their noses to the ground most of the time--in their stalls, in the arena, in the aisles, on the trail when you stop for a break...You get the idea. And they can pick up worms and other kinds of parasites quite easily. Their immune systems will kick out these nasty critters a good portion of the time. But it only takes a few to embed themselves in your horse's gut to end up with a major parasite problem. That's why deworming is a crucial component of basic horse care.
