Unlike humans, a horse produces stomach acid all day. Also good to know; a horse only produces saliva while chewing. Saliva ensures the stomach acid to neutralize. No wonder horses in nature graze for an average of sixteen hours a day.
The digestion of a horse is more complex than that of a human being. Horses gathering most of its energy from the digestion of fibers in the large intestine.
In nature, horses are constantly searching for different types of grass and fibres. This variety of fibers has a proven positive effect on the intestinal flora and a good working intestinal flora ensures the horse feels better than ever before.
