If your horse is spending longer inside than you\u2019d like, we have some ways to help keep your horse happy when turnout is limited. You can also consider these if your horse is on box rest or a rehab journey that means he\u2019s in his stable for prolonged periods of time.<\/p><p><strong>Feeding <\/strong><\/p><p>Getting your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbequestrian.co.uk\/stable-and-field\/feed\/stable\">feeding<\/a> right is one of the cornerstones to a happy horse, and when they\u2019re spending more time inside than is ideal, it\u2019s even more important. There are several free nutritional helplines (and qualified independent nutritionists too) who can help you adjust the horse\u2019s diet in line with a change in management. By getting expert advice here, and ensuring your horse is on the correct diet for his current situation, it means everything else is built on firm foundations.<\/p><p><strong>Make it last<\/strong><\/p><p>When you know how much <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbequestrian.co.uk\/stable-and-field\/feed\/stable\/hay--haylage\">hay\/haylage\/forage<\/a> your horse should be eating, it might be a good idea to explore ways to ensure his forage keeps him occupied for longer. If your horse is a good doer, you might want to look at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbequestrian.co.uk\/stable-and-field\/hay-bags--haynets\">smaller holed nets<\/a> and dividing up his portion throughout the day, so he\u2019s never left for a long time without access to forage. Horses are trickle feeders by nature, eating little and often, and this is how their body systems are designed. Finding ways to emulate this, even in a stable environment, can really support physical and mental health.<\/p><figure id=\"attachment_4782\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4782\" style=\"width: 450px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbequestrian.co.uk\/facetresultsalt.aspx?Term=greedy%20feeder\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4782\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/rbe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/03\/Horse-Greedy-Feeders-from-RB-Equestrian-300x300.png\" alt=\"Greedy feeders from RB Equestrian\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/rbe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/03\/Horse-Greedy-Feeders-from-RB-Equestrian-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/rbe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/03\/Horse-Greedy-Feeders-from-RB-Equestrian-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/rbe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/03\/Horse-Greedy-Feeders-from-RB-Equestrian-370x370.png 370w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/rbe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/03\/Horse-Greedy-Feeders-from-RB-Equestrian.png 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4782\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Greedy Feeders<\/figcaption><\/figure><p><strong>Boredom busters<\/strong><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbequestrian.co.uk\/stable-and-field\/toys-and-games\/stable\">Stable activities<\/a> can help to keep a horse\u2019s brain busy, which can help to reduce boredom and maybe even the development of some vices.
