We've all heard that you should make changes to your horse's diet gradually, but why is that?
Your horseโs digestive system relies on a population of helpful bacteria to break down their food. But, when their diet changes, those bacteria need time to adapt, and a sudden change can upset this balance, which is why itโs important to give the digestive system time to adjust. By making changes gradually, you allow the gut to adapt to the new diet rather than having to deal with a sudden switch.
