Forage
Grass, hay, haylage or other fibrous feed that forms the bulk of a horse’s diet.
Why it matters: Provides essential fibre for gut health and keeps horses chewing.
Roughage
All forage is roughage, but not all roughage is forage. For example, straw is roughage but low in nutrition, whereas hay or fresh grass is forage and provides fibre and nutrients.
Why it matters: Understanding this helps owners balance fibre intake with nutrient needs.
