Horses’ digestive systems were designed to support a very different lifestyle than we can give them.

Horses are herd animals who graze almost constantly, consuming primarily grass and other high-fiber content a little bit throughout the day. They live with little stress, and minimal nutrient and energy requirements. And the horse's digestive system accommodates this very well.

By contrast, modern performance horse care and management is designed to support our lifestyles — busy owners and trainers. The horse's lifestyle includes stalling, shipping to shows or tracks, forced exercise, intermittent feeding of high-grain diets, and more.

All of these conditions mean our horses are living with a digestive imbalance that can ultimately lead to serious digestive health ailments like ulcers.
