I’m always interested to read about what horses get up to. Here in Mongolia where I have 17 horses I use on our backcountry horse trips, there are no fences, and livestock moves around at will. One of my favorite pastimes is to just hang with the herd and watch them eat. A great way to spend a lazy day as they move around the forest pastures that surround our cabins. It’s amazing how agile they are at moving grasses and herbs around with their upper lip and getting just the grass species they have a taste for that day. The Mongolian Lily, a very beautiful wildflower has not been on their menu, although it is carved in my saddle. With more than 2,000 foraging grasses and herbs, the horses here are real connoisseur’s of the green stuff. The pastures are salad bars and medicine cabinets all in one.
