“While your horse may have enjoyed large paddocks over winter, come spring and autumn with rapidly growing grass, the diet will need to be re-assessed”
These are some of the problems owners often encounter:
Problem: Sudden unmanageable behaviour
Problem: Grumpy gut and runny manure
Reduce grass intake with strip grazing.
Feed hay daily to buffer gut in-between grazing.
Feed Mag-Eze for extra magnesium to manage behaviour.
Include Digest Easi PLUS to settle a grumpy gut and restore gut and digestive balance.
Re-assess current hard feed rations.
IMPORTANT: When removing your horse or pony from grass, never yard without hay as no feed through the gut will slow metabolism, encourage stomach ulcers and also colic. Then when allowed back to grass sudden gorging of pasture will cause digestive upsets or even colic.
Never underestimate how quickly and how much grass your horse can consume!
Over eating can cause a fatal colic, laminitis and obesity so is very important to manage all equines come spring or autumn! That means controlling if necessary with strip grazing.
Use cattle to graze lush paddocks before horses! or strip graze safely behind tape for horses.
Offer a little fresh pasture daily (with strip grazing) and the remainder as hay to avoid overeating.
Susceptible ponies – if in doubt offer hay in place of grass or limit grazing and offer hay.
Sudden weather changes from rain to hot sunny days causes pasture fluctuations. The surge in sugars and nutrients can be overwhelming to the horses gut.
TIP: If you own your own property, take a wander round and identify the paddocks with low sugar varieties as this can vary greatly paddock to paddock. If possible select the paddock with the lower grasses to set up your grazing regime.
