当前，广泛的研究表明，马在被骑时胃里应该有东西，且最好的食物就是干草。

● 对于我们人类来说，饱腹后运动真的很不舒服对不对？我们会感到迟缓，就像岔气儿了一样。

● 但是马和人类的饮食方式及胃部的运作方式完全不同。我们人类可以很长时间不吃东西（比如过夜的时候），也不会有问题。

● 对我们人类来说，空腹运动更舒服。从另一方面来说，马是食草动物，或者说是需要长时间、小量的进食 。

● 它们天生就是几乎24小时不间断地需要进食。如果让它们自然进食，两次进食间隔时间会很短（少于2到3小时）。

● 对我们人类来说，空腹运动更舒服。从另一方面来说，马是食草动物，或者说是需要长时间、小量的进食 。

● 正因如此，它们的胃从不停止生产胃酸，这就是为什么你不能骑一匹空腹的马的原因。

Should you feed before you ride?

    Extensive studies now advise that horses SHOULD have something in their stomach when they are ridden, and the best thing forthem to have is hay.

   For us, as humans, to exercise on a full stomachis really uncomfortable right?! We feel sluggish. We get a stitch.

    But horses and humans are completely differentin the way we eat and in the way our stomach works. We can go for a really longtime (like overnight) without eating and it’s not an issue. And yes, it's morecomfortable, for us, to exercise on an empty stomach.Horses on the other hand are grazers,ortrickle feeders. They are designed to eat almost constantly over a 24-hourperiod.And will take only very short (less than2to3 hour) breaks betweenfeeding if left to feed naturally. Because of this, their stomach NEVERswitches off acid production, and this is why you must not ride your horse on(his) empty stomach.
