If you are a horse owner looking for ways to extend your hay, remember that horses need roughage just like everyone else — in fact, they need much more. Fifty percent to 100 percent of a horse’s diet should be forage of some sort.

Lower amounts of forages can lead to an increased risk for ulcers and colic.
