Horses often love a wet mash for several reasons. First, it smells and tastes more intense because of the water, which stimulates appetite, especially in picky or older horses. In addition, the soft, porridge-like texture is easy to eat and easily digestible, making it comfortable for horses with dental problems or sensitive stomachs. A mash also helps to absorb extra fluids, which is especially helpful in hot weather, after exercise or when there is a reduced desire to drink. Finally, many horses associate a mash with something tasty or “extra,” so it can also be a positive moment mentally.
