As we welcome the signs of spring, we also welcome the risks of spring laminitis and founder. We use our Poly Hay Ring, feeding hay until pastures are more mature. This not only helps improve digestion but also reduces the amount of wasted hay.

The sugar content in grass is highest during:

🌱 Early spring and during re-growth.
πŸ”₯ Drought conditions.
🌀 Cool nights, warm sunny days.
❄️ And after a hard freeze.

As we prepare our flowers and garden beds for a plentiful growing season, we add our Simply Straw for mulch πŸ‘©β€πŸŒΎ

Adding it to your garden soil, containers, and new perennials has many benefits, including conserving water, preventing w**ds, improving soil health, and protecting your plants πŸͺ΄

Come pick up a bag or two and prepare your garden for summer 🌷

🌾 Simply Straw has been a popular horse bedding this fall! It's super absorbent and has no dust, and our horses love to lie down in the comfort it brings. Our manure pile in the spring is way smaller due to its natural composting. Our garden loves it, we love and so do our horses 🐴 πŸ’›

Try If you haven't tried it yet, we highly recommend giving it a go and experiencing the difference for yourself.

🌾 As the weather transitions to cooler nights and warmer days, grasses tend to increase their NSC values, which can lead to Fall Laminitis in horses 🐴

During the fall season, horses produce more ACTH in the fall, which stimulates cortisol production and increases insulin levels, leading to a higher risk of laminitis. This happens in all horses from mid-August to November/December. Those with Cushing's Disease or PPID may have even higher levels.

The sugar content in grass is highest during:
🌱 Early spring and during re-growth.
πŸ”₯ Drought conditions.
🌀 Cool nights, warm sunny days.

Interesting salt and trace mineral myth and fact ✨ Who else feeds loose salt?

Interesting salt and trace mineral myth and fact ✨

Who else feeds loose salt?

MYTH - A horse gets his minerals from the trace mineral block.

FACT - Most trace mineral blocks are 95 to 98% salt. That means less than 5% of the block contains trace minerals. It is difficult for a horse to physically consume enough of a trace mineral block each day to meet trace mineral requirements. In addition, these blocks were designed for the coarse tongue of a cow, not the soft, smooth tongue of a horse.

Horse owners are better off to top dress or supply free choice plain white salt, and rely on a commercially fortified feed or supplement to supply trace minerals in adequate amounts.

We are bringing in some more Hanging Nag Bags 🌟 🐴

They are a favourite slow-feeder bag, holding 3-5 flakes of hay! Using a slow feeder not only saves on hay costs and reduces mess, but it also promotes healthy digestion and prevents colic in horses.

Every slow feeder bag has a handy dandy toggle! The toggle keeps the black drawstring from falling through while filling the bags πŸ˜‰

Travelling with your horse? On the road, some horses have difficulty with different water tastes. Try these tips to encourage your horse to drink while away.

1. Bring water from home.
2. Add 20 ounces of clear soda (make sure it's caffeine free) to the new water.
3. Add electrolytes to new water or provide electrolytes using an oral gel or paste.
4. Add a small amount of salt to beet pulp, mash or feed, which can act as an electrolyte.

It's springtime, so we are spring-cleaning our horse's brushes! πŸͺ£πŸ§½

We first remove dirt or debris with a curry comb. Then, fill a bucket with warm water and a few drops of mild soap. Soak the brushes for 10-15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly and let them air dry in the sun.

Our horses enjoy being groomed with clean, fresh brushes! 🌸
