Access to pasture boarding is vital for horses’ health, well-being, and overall quality of life. Here are several reasons why it is critical:
Physical Health
Pasture and paddock turnout allow horses ample space to move and graze. This promotes physical health by allowing them to engage in natural behaviors, such as grazing, walking, trotting, and running. Regular exercise is essential for maintaining strong muscles, healthy joints, and cardiovascular fitness.
Mental Well-Being
Horses are social animals that thrive on interaction with other horses. Pasture and paddock boarding allow socialization, reducing stress and preventing behavioral issues like boredom, anxiety, and aggression. Horses that are turned out with companions tend to be happier and more content.
Natural Behavior
Grazing is a fundamental natural behavior for horses. Access to pasture allows horses to graze freely, which is enjoyable and essential for their digestive health. Grazing helps prevent issues like colic and ulcers and encourages proper dental wear.
Muscle Development
Horses turned out in pastures have the opportunity to move freely, which helps in developing and maintaining proper muscle tone. This can be particularly important for performance horses that need strong, well-developed muscles for their specific disciplines.
Hoof Health
Regular movement on various surfaces in a pasture or paddock can contribute to good hoof health. It helps in natural wear and can reduce the risk of conditions like thrush and abscesses.
Natural Sunlight
Exposure to natural sunlight in pastures helps horses synthesize vitamin D, which is essential for their overall health, including bone strength.
