Horses have evolved over 50,000 years to thrive in their natural habitat; the steppes; vast grassland areas that once dominated our landscape. Their defence against predators is their speed, enabling them to outrun their enemies. As a consequence of this evolution horses have relatively small stomachs which means that they have to eat almost continuously.
