What Does the Research Say?
When it comes to understanding the arguments on why horses need to be fed hay first, the data is very limited and not too supportive. For example, research studies investigating the passage rates of different feeds in horses' digestive tracts have found no differences in the amount of time that hay or horse feed spends in the stomach. Nor was the digestion slower in the foregut (stomach and small intestine) when horses were fed hay prior to their feed.
Other studies have shown that, regardless of what the horse chooses to eat first, the act of chewing sends signals to the equine stomach to prepare and quickly move the feed through to the small intestine. Thus, regardless of what is given first, the horse's small stomach mixes the feedstuff with gastric juices and passes it quickly to the small intestine. So, the theory of feeding hay first to slow down the digestion of horse feed has no scientific support.
What this implies for most horses is that it really does not matter what you feed first. One supporting reason is that because most horse feeds from reputable companies are lower in non-structural carbohydrates (NSC), which reduces the total amount of sugars and starches in the horse's diet. Second, if you are following sound feeding principles, such as feeding often and feeding smaller meal sizes, most horses will be fine regardless of what is fed first.

QnA
Q: Should horse stalls have concrete floors?
A: Concrete is very durable but hard on horses standing in the stall all day. Some owners recommend that a horse be turned out at least 4 hours per day when housed on concrete flooring. Using a thick layer of bedding or solid rubber mats can minimize some of concrete's disadvantages.
Q: What is a horse mat called?
A: Stall mats are anti-skid floor mats that are used in large animal barns to aid the comfort and health of the animal. Due to their durability and versatility, stall mats can be used to add padding and reduce fatigue on horses or cattle when their barn stalls have a hard floor such as concrete.
Q: Are horse stall mats safe for indoor use?
A: Stall mats are made for use in well-ventilated barns and outdoor areas. They are not made for small, enclosed human living spaces. For that reason, they use a far less expensive binding agent (that often includes sulfur -- a primary reason for the terrible smell).
