Best Answer

Horses were designed to eat many small meals throughout the day. So it's unlikely that the horse would continue to eat if he felt full. Though there are exceptions to every case.

What to do to keep a horse from eating straw?

Horses eat straw to keep busy, typically from a lack of needed chewing time. The best thing to do is make sure the horse has hay available at all times. This can be done by hanging a couple of slow feed hay nets in the stall or using a slow feeder from the ground. You can also place a grazing muzzle on the horse to limit the amount of straw it is eating in the stall, but the horse must be watched carefully if a muzzle is used.

How often do you clean your horse?

You muck out your horse's stall once a day, and twice a day in the summer (because of more insects/parasites.) You give your horse a full grooming at least once a day. You don't groom your horse as much if he/she lives outside, because you don't want to remove the natural coat oils that keep the horse warm. Keep your horse healthy and happy!!! : )


Should you leave a horse alone when it is eating?

Should you? if possible yes. But on the other hand if you HAVE to handle your horse while it is eating then the horse should accept this. Sometimes you dont have time to wait around to let your horse eat before putting his rugs on etc and if you have to dont worry about it but it is nice to leave them to eat alone =] Since horses- when allowed to- spend about 16 hours a day eating, you should, because what if you need to ride or groom your horse during that 16 hours? Or if he has a vet appointment? True, he will want to keep eating, but you have to not let him walk all over you or he will try to get away with other stuff.
