Horses should be allowed to be horses for at least some of their day. In their natural setting equines are an important part of an ecosystem and it is possible to recreate most of that in the domestic situation. We are Equiculture teach horse owners how to do it in a way that is a win - win situation all round - good for horses (by allowing them to carry out close to natural behaviors), good for their owners (by saving them time and money and allowing for more 'quality' time with their horses) and good for the wider environment (by nurturing the land that horses live on - which has untold benefits). All horse owners should take some time to learn about what is important to horses. We at Equiculture teach horse owners around the world how to do just that...
