What food do horses eat?

The main foods that horses eat are: grass, branches, fallen leaves, concentrated feed and roughage.

Horses like to eat grass because they are herbivores. However, the horses are mainly fed with feed, with corn, sorghum, bean cake, black beans, wheat and wheat bran as the concentrate feed, and straw and corn as the coarse feed. In winter, we mainly eat grass, sometimes even branches, fallen leaves and straws, and horses also eat them. Cutting and proper crushing are more suitable for feeding.

The military horses in the military horse farm should feed soybeans or peas every day, and sometimes corn. It doesn't matter if people eat almost the same. The charger must be fed and eaten well.

In the spring and autumn harvest season, the countryside should feed more food to horses and mules so that they can work. Sometimes it is necessary to mix some foods, such as vegetable oil and wheat bran.

Life habits of horses:

1. Horses live in the wild and belong to social animals. They take care of each other and make the horse feel more secure. Some captive horses live in stables, but horses also need companions very much. At ordinary times, some other animals, such as dogs, goats and even donkeys, are kept in the racecourse, which can also be used as horses' companions.

2, the horse's courage is very small, always be vigilant. Horses are easily frightened by sudden sounds. They are afraid of erratic things, such as balloons and flags, and slender things, such as bamboo poles and umbrellas.

When the horse stands and rests, it often takes turns to rest one hind foot. Rest feet slightly bent, gently placed on the ground, bear less weight. The two front feet and the other back foot bear most of the weight, much like the three seven steps of a person.

Only when it is very safe and comfortable will the horse lie down and sleep. There may be only a few short hours a day to lie down and sleep, and most of the time I sleep standing up.
