With seasonal changes such as spring and autumn, rapid changes are taking place in your pasture.
We recommend using Mag-Eze and Digest-easi PLUS for supplementary care.
Hard feed contains carbohydrates which the body in-turn uses as sugar for energy. Your feed may state low GI. Unfortunately, these are still carbohydrates, just more of a slow burn type. Carbohydrates are still sugar! Sugar still equals energy!
Reduce hard feed to control energy levels.
Remember your horse is also designed to gain energy through digesting fibre. Therefore, grass, hay, chaff and any other forages in your horses’ diet will be supplying your horse with energy.
USEFUL TIP
Too much energy? if your horse can leap around and buck. It requires energy to do this! Take it away! Reduce your sugar!
Balance grass with daily management. When rapidly green and growing manage access by strip grazing. Susceptible animals may need to be removed from pasture to reduce sugars whilst increasing hay for fibre to feel full and balance the gut.
Be sure to exercise to work off the extra sugar.
No supplement will take away sugar! it is reduced by limiting ingestion or by increasing exercise to burn off those extra calories!
Feed fresh pasture in the morning by strip grazing. However, always ensure hay is readily available so the horse or pony can naturally buffer their gut.
Manage grass daily by strip grazing and hay.
Assess your hard feed. Does your horse need extra feed? Look at the carbohydrate content on the nutritional breakdown. Do you need to change to straight fibres? such as chaff, hay, or other forages. Does your horse need hard feed at all? Review and take into account the sugar level in your pasture. Green, growing grass equals sugar. It is that simple!
Re-introduce hard feed when the horse settles
