Physical and mental rehabilitation of the horse

Introduction of horses in natural spaces
Horses are playing an increasingly important role in the management of permanent grasslands throughout Europe. Grazing horses promotes biodiversity and is very suitable for cleaning and restoring semi-natural pastures and the maintenance of woodland.
Horses have a greater capacity for ingesting forage than other ruminants, which allows them to effectively control competitive pastures and keep open areas in pastures. When they face variations in the availability and quality of resources, horses can adjust their feeding behavior to meet their nutritional requirements.
