🌿 SPRING GRASS IS COMING — ARE YOU READY? 🌼
The past few weeks we have seen beautiful sunny days with rainy nights - a recipe for disaster when it comes to Founder prone ponies and Laminitis.
This is not something to take lightly! Now is the perfect time to review their feeding program and lock up your founder prone horses!
🚨 WATCH AND ACT 🚨
Look for:
🐴 Short, stiff or pottery steps
🐴 Reluctance to move
🐴 Increased digital pulses
🐴 Warm hooves
🐴 Weight gain or a cresty neck
For horses needing lower calories while still meeting nutritional requirements, ask us about:
⭐ CEN CF50
⭐ CEN Grain Free Ultimate
⭐ Belinda's Amazing Minerals – Tasmania Mix
⭐ Hygain MetaSafe
⭐ Johnson's Every Horse Fibre Balancer
🌾 KEEP FIBRE AT THE CENTRE
Limit access to lush grass, with methods such as strip grazing, or locking up horses at certain times of the day. Make sure your horse has access to quality fibre, like a low sugar hay (timothy, teff) or a fibre feed such as:
⭐ Hygain Fibressential
⭐ Energreen Nutrition Maxisoy
⭐ CEN Grain Free Ultimate
⭐ Iron Horse FibreWell
⭐ Hygain ZERO
🐴 CONSIDER A TOXIN BINDER
Pasture, hay, chaff and grains can potentially contain mycotoxins. If you're concerned about feed quality, ask us about:
⭐ Elitox
⭐ Kohnke's Own Tox-Target
⭐ Hygain Safeguard EQ
🔬 DON'T SUPPLEMENT BLINDLY!
Every horse is different. Vitamins and minerals are essential, but too much can be harmful. Consider your horse's complete diet and seek professional advice where needed.
