The Horse is an ancient creature, around 60 million years old in fact. This makes them an extremely successful creature and is tribute to their incredible ability to survive and adapt.
    Since their domestication around 6 thousand years ago, we have drastically changed the living and social habits of horses and unfortunately for some the change is too much.  Practices such as stabling, shoeing and keeping horses separately may be normal for us but for the horse these are totally alien concepts and changes that they haven't evolved to deal with. So as care providers it should be our responsibility to provide what they do need rather than expecting them to conform to what we want. Natural Horse Management is an attempt to identify and provide these needs.
