Why would a horse that is eatting nutritional food and plenty of grass be eatting his own poop?

My rescue mare will do this. It has tapered off some, but she still does it occasionally. She will also eat dirt or sand if she is becoming stressed. When we go out on walks I have to watch her pretty close to make sure she isn't eating something she shouldn't.
This thread is WAAAY old
PS foals eat mom's poo to get good bacteria from it into their gut...so I wonder if it's a throwback from babyhood?
Heh, erinjograves isn't the one who resurrected this thread, countrylady is. I guess she wanted to copy and paste some wisdom/plagiarism.
