What do horses do all day? What should they be doing all day compared to their wild counterparts? A critical topic for any horse owner or enthusiast.

In this episode, Dr. Chris Mortensen, an equine educator and researcher, discusses the experience of observing the behaviors of equids throughout the day. He notes the vital importance of understanding the natural behaviors of horses and other equids as it influences how they are managed, fed, and looked after.

Dr. Mortensen references multiple studies comparing behavior patterns - observing time spending habits, natural behaviors, and common stress behaviors particularly when horses are in confined spaces or too densely packed. He stresses on the importance of sufficient feeding, exercise, and turnout time for the overall health and well-being of the horses.
