The Seven Principles of Natural Horse Keeping

Written by Hiddenhorse on 17/09/2009 – 11:19 am -

The following principles are the basis of all of my management of the horse. I introduce them here as a point of reference for further posts.

PRINCIPLE NUMBER ONE: ALL OUR MANAGEMENT OF THE HORSE MUST ALWAYS CREATE GOOD HEALTH AND WELL-BEING IN THE HERD.
We base or relationship on the ethogram of the horse. That means: Life in a herd, a life full of natural movement, a diet that closely relates to the natural fiber based diet.
Horses need to move, constant movement anytime day or night is a fundamental right of the herd.
Management is based on the environment not just the horse
The opportunity to feed is the main daily activity. Up to 20 hours per day!
There is always something to look at or do. Horses have a right to live in a stimulating environment
RESPECT THE HORSE AS A HORSE
