TIME is money. Many yards are feeding fewer times a day due to lack of time and staff costs.

This can result in horses being fed feeds that are too big to be efficiently digested, leading to increased problems including colic, tying-up, developmental orthopedic disease (DOD), and gastric upsets. The maximum feed size for a typical 15.2hh 500kg horse is 2kg dry weight (one heaped Stubbs scoop of cubes).
