What else can I help you with?
Can pasture provide a horse with an excellent source of forage?
Depends on how big the pasture is, how many horses. If there are more horses than year round forage, I'd suggest hay. It also depends on what grows in your pasture? Any alfalfa or timothy? Those are really good for the horse(s).
How big is an ideal horse pasture?
A horse pasture should have enough space to graze as well as space to run. One horse is 1.5 AUs, so depending on your locality, pasture quality, time of year, etc., you could pasture one horse per 2 acres or more per month.
What provides a horse with an excellent source of fresh forage?
A horse in a good pasture will do.
Should you keep a cribbing strap on a horse when it is in pasture?
Yes and no. Yes for if it cribs alot and if its in a small pasture. No for if its in a big pasture and if it doesn't crib alot.
Is it better for a horse to have a friend horse?
It is good for a horse to have another horse due to swatting the flies, and just for the company in the pasture.
How much feed does a pastured horse get fed?
The amount of feed that should be given to a pastured horse will vary from horse to horse. Some horses may not require anything if the pasture quality is really good or if the horse is not in work or an easy keeper. However if the pasture is not of good quality then the horses may need at least supplemental hay and possibly a hard feed if the horse is a hard keeper or in moderate or higher work.
Where does a horse live?
In a stable in the countryside?
Can a pasture provide fresh forage to a horse?
It can so long as the grass is of good quality and there is at least one acre per horse , 2 acres are better.
What is a Morgan horses habitat?
There is no specific habitat. Just provide your horse with a big spaceous stall, and it would be best to not lock it there all day. Developes boredom habits, just get a nice grassy grazing pasture! :)
Is it safe to leave your horse's halter on when he's in the pasture?
For howrse, it is false. (I would know, I just took that quiz and got 8 out of 8!) It's not good because the howrse could get hooked on something, and other horses can grab it and yank it to bully the horse. Some people do leave the halter on though, because they believe that if there were a fire or something, they could easily catch them. That's probably not right though, because if there were a fire in the pasture, I'm sure the horse would be smart enough to get out of there without being caught. Also, if the pasture is big, the horse could easily run. Just use a rope to catch your horse and then put the halter on.
What do you do if your new horse is rejected in a pasture?
This is the way horses are: your horse is the "new kid", the lowest in the pasture's pecking order. The gender make up of the pasture has an effect too, as does the gender of your horse; but they will all eventually work it out, it's a natural part of their world and they know how to handle it.
How do you know if you should keep your horse in a stable or keep it at pasture?
This can depend on the breed of horse and type of work the horse is being used for. Example, is the horse kept for training and competition or is the horse for hacking/riding for pleasure. Stable vs pasture can also depend on the time of year -winter vs summer and of course the quality of the pasture- is there shelter and food.
