I have the book series which are excellent and this series on you tube is a fantastic addition. I have completely changed the way I look after my horses following the information taken from the Equiculture books. I have begun to improve my fields and my horses are in much better condition and the time it takes to look after them is reduced. I cannot recommend this series enough. It’s a fantastic resource.
Thanks for this series of videos, all this information is fascinating and makes me want to learn all the rest!! I'm just troubled by one thing. In this video you seam to insist that food ferments in the horse's stomach compared to cows, but isn't what ALL digestive systems are, including for humans : fermenting bowls?
Hi Julie, yes they do but horses do it to the max, because they only chew thier food once they rely on fermentation even more plus they eat even more fibrous food than other grazing animals and manage to digest it where others would not, so glad you are enjoying the videos :)
Thank you so much for putting this video series together, and the excellent thought and work that went into them. I already learned so much from the first one.
Great information. Had horses for over 40 years, but you never stop learning. A useful reminder of how far away from their 'natural' lifestyle we keep most of our horses...it's probably surprising they cope as well as they do.
Thanks for commenting Kate, yes, they have to cope with so many things that are not what they are cut out for. There is much more about that in video three :)
Equiculture and Horse Riders Mechanic I love the details about the ways in which horses are adapted to live naturally. It’s not only interesting, but it provides guidance in how best to care for our domestic horses. ❤️
I agree with the comment below that this is very good info for both new and longer horse owners particularly when you look at the drought we are now in.
Great info especially for those starting out with horses, but also very relevant for those who already own them, as a reminder to provide for the horse in the way nature had them evolve. Easy to digest video!
Very interesting, I've just moved my 15yr old horse to pasture grazing from a dry track with only hay 24/7. The reason I moved her is because of breathing issues, this video has helped and I hope to gain a lot more from the series. Thanks Amanda

I was surprised to learn that horses can exist on poorer quality pasture than cows. I wish my horse would eat the grassy hay I offer him rather than waiting for me to give in and give him tasty lucerne. I love watching his top lip sort through the grass, pushing aside sticks and leaves, when he's grazing.
Thanks for watching Robyn, yes, once you know that it becomes easier to feed them correctly. I also love watching them eat, that is how it all started out for me - studying grazing behaviour :)
