MAGNESIUM

Magnesium is an essential mineral for horses and plays a crucial role in various physiological functions. It is involved in muscle function, nerve transmission, enzyme activation, bone formation, and energy metabolism.

Providing a balanced diet is essential for meeting a horse’s magnesium requirements. Good-quality forage, a balanced commercial feed fed at minimum feeding rate or ration balancer, and access to clean water are critical factors in maintaining proper magnesium levels in horses.

While toxicity in magnesium specifically is rare, what most don’t realize is that calcium and magnesium should ideally be kept around a 3:1 ratio, which is generally met in a properly balanced diet. If supplementing extra magnesium on an already fortified and properly balanced diet, dietary calcium levels should be evaluated. This is because excess magnesium can decrease calcium uptake. Calcium is required for strong bones and other physiological processes! So, while we may not see any issues with our horse in the present, excess supplementation over time could potentially present other issues long-term with respect to other vital nutrients.

Tuesday Tip of the Day.

Tarps, Pallets and Plywood.

Both our hay and our grain are stored appropriately, but with so many animals (75+), it’s important to have meals on hand, prepared and ready to grab when time runs short. Our “hay bay” always has alfalfa, 1st and 2nd cut hay, balancer tubs, chaff, hay bags and color coded grain ready to load up quickly each morning and evening as we head out to feed.

But they don’t just sit on pallets. They sit on plywood on top of pallets, on top of tarps. Why? Because it keeps the bales and buckets off the ground, allows airflow underneath the hay and grain and ensures hay particles don’t get trapped in the pallets where it can mold. You wouldn’t believe how fast food can get ruined.

Yes, this food is constantly rotated, covered so nothing gets into it including our mess from stuffing hay bags and never sits here for long, but every effort matters and keeping it off the ground makes a big difference.

We hope this helps someone who is looking for ways to stay ahead of the game. Happy Tuesday.

*Edited post*
Unlike muscles and bones, a horse’s lungs don’t improve with exercise.

Did you know that horses’ lungs don’t train? 🐴 Unlike bones, heart, and skeletal muscles, the lungs don't adapt to exercise. The amount of air moved in and out by an unfit horse is the same as when that horse is fit.

So why does training improve exercise capacity? Because the heart, skeletal muscles and other body systems that utilize the oxygen that’s delivered by the lungs do train and become more efficient at utilizing the oxygen that the lungs are delivering.
