Two of our team ponies feeding in winter

A wild horse runs between 15 and 20 km a day, which is mainly due to food intake. In terms of time, this means taking in food and exercise for over 15 hours per day, which in turn corresponds to the typical behavior of our ponies today.

However, in today's domesticated husbandry systems and the usual stable or outdoor housing, it can be observed that eating times are usually spent standing and are not accompanied by slow locomotion. The grass also grows far too lushly in the meadows, so exercise activity is insufficient here too.

Diseases and possibly problems in the areas of digestion, musculoskeletal system and hooves can result. With the above-mentioned forms of keeping, in addition to boredom, the ponies also sometimes experience psychological problems, such as cribbing or weaving.

Our food ball now offers you the chance to enable your pony to eat in a way that is typical of the species, without much effort.

Rough feed, such as hay, haylage, straw or other types of stalk feed, is suitable as a filling for the feed ball.
