If you follow our small business, Black Horse Naturals, you’ll notice that we’ve been a bit quiet on our socials the past few months. This is due to the APVMA making changes to h**p product use and labelling, we took this news as an exciting opportunity to firstly align ourselves with the regulatory standards so we could continue to provide you with high quality, natural and plant based equine and canine feeding and nutritional support.

The next step was to rebrand our range and with the assistance of we have produced product labelling that truly aligns with our values of clean and natural designs.
We love the inclusion of a Kelpie on the front label as a meaningful depiction of our forever missed and much loved product name sake, Dusty.

Finally, and the most exciting development is increasing our equine range to include a soy and legume based product with pre, pro and post biotics, with the inclusion of a toxin binder which will provide premium gut health solutions, particularly to the equine performance and racing athletes.

It’s our commitment and dedication to you in providing innovative, natural and superior nutritional support for your horses.

You’ll see the new branding flowing through PetStock, Independent Retailers and on our new website in the coming weeks and appreciate your continued loyalty and support of Black Horse Naturals.

Steve and I thank you for being a huge part of our success and journey. 💫

Have a read about what leading nutritionist Mark Barnett has to say about highly fermentable fibre and it’s important role in your horses diet

There are many benefits in feeding a highly fermentable fibre like h**p hulls to your horse such as increased chewing and saliva production, proper teeth wear, gut health, low sugars and starch, high potential energy, high digestible, etc.
There are some other reasons for including this type of feed in your horse’s diet too. Some horses cannot physically eat enough hay to fulfil their fibre requirements so, the inclusion of some highly fermentable fibre deals with that issue. Some horses require a steady source of energy for long distances and high energy. Highly fermentable fibres can provide this sustained energy supply while also acting as a water reservoir to prevent dehydration.
There are also horses that cannot tolerate high sugar and starch diets, particularly those prone to laminitis, IR, exertional rhabdomyolysis (tying up), and PSSM. These horses often find relief when fed a low starch feed such as a highly fermentable fibre like h**p hulls.

It is recommended that a quality balancing supplement be used to correct any nutrient deficiencies and ratio imbalances but, overall, highly fermentable fibres can increase the energy content of a horse’s diet while having positive effects on gut and overall health. 🌱
