Slow feeding with multiple locations🌎 enables your entire herd to eat and live together full time by leveling the playing field. The individual that typically consumed the most in the least amount of time will be regulated. Equines are herd 🐴🐴🐴🐴 animals. They benefit physically and psychologically ☺️ from direct physical interaction. Dominant members will keep the others moving as they claim various locations. The less dominant individuals will have alternate sources to eat from; this encourages movement and can decrease cortisol levels associated with stress from being physically separated from herd members. If you have an individual that requires additional calories, separate them for additional feedings of soaked hay pellets or complete feeds and allow them to rejoin the herd. Hierarchy will always exist in a herd, the majority of aggressive 😠 behavior is associated with food/resource guarding. If free choice forage is available, the intensity of dominant combative behavior typically subsides because food is no longer considered a limited life sustaining resource.
