Factors influencing the success of learning

What does a horse need to learn basic training and other lessons safely?
In addition to the horse’s natural needs such as food, water, light and social contact, it needs a patient, consistent rider who is confident in his own ability. But that’s not all. A big additional point is that the horses need to be comfortable. They must have enough rest periods, free running, but also employment.
That is why it is always nice to see our training horses lying down and obviously relaxed and content in their boxes, the paddocks or the pasture.

Hay nets

Apart from adequate time on the paddock and pasture, we wish for occupation for our horses in their boxes. For a horse-friendly keeping, it’s important for us that a large amount of roughage is available at any time. This sadly has the major disadvantage, that the horses are spreading the hay inside the box. Some of them are even placing their droppings right onto the hay pile, despite the boxes being large. By the end of the day this means that we have to waste precious forage on the dung heap. Because of that we decided to invest in hay nets (as seen in the picture).
These nets are providing the horses with forage to at least the next feeding and they are occupied. The boxes are much cleaner than before and we don’t waste any fodder.
