Breeders who feed their horses using automatic feed machines avoid the nutritional mistake of overfeeding and overfeeding their horses, which can lead to colic that is dangerous to the horses' health and life.  In caring for the welfare of horses, a proper diet and accurate estimation of caloric requirements is essential. 

The regularity of feeding horses is extremely important, as these animals very quickly become accustomed to consistent feeding times. If delayed, some react with anxiety or aggression, for example by kicking at the stall walls. Automation of feed distribution means that such situations do not occur, as a specific amount of feed - e.g. 6 kg - will be given to the horse at a fixed time and divided into e.g. 10-12 portions.

The distribution of feed (oats, pellets or muesli) using automatic feeding machines also has the advantage that all horses receive their feed at the same time. With the traditional way of distributing feed, especially in large stables, the horses in the most distant stalls often receive their feed several minutes after starting to feed, which increases their anxiety, can cause damage to the stable building and equipment, and can also be injurious to the animals themselves, especially in the legs.
