Did you know that horses should eat 𝗮𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝟭.𝟱% 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝘄𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 in forage every day? 🐴 Ideally, 70-100% of their daily diet should come from hay, grass, or other forage. The exact amount depends on their activity level and individual needs.

Do you know how much forage your horse eats each day? 💚

09/02/2025

Your horse’s digestive system is designed for continuous grazing on forage—it’s the most natural and essential part of their diet! Not only does it keep their tummy happy, but it also supports overall gut health. That’s why providing plenty of forage is so important!

Here’s why forage is a must-have for your horse:

✔️ It stimulates chewing, which helps produce saliva.
✔️ Saliva neutralizes stomach acid, keeping digestion balanced.
✔️ It supports a healthy gut flora and the growth of good bacteria.
✔️ Forage provides around 90% of your horse’s energy needs!

How big of a role does forage play in your horse’s daily diet? 💚

Danielle about her visit at our Your Horse Live competion winner Celine:

‘It was a pleasure to present our competition winner Celine with a years’ worth of Thunderbrook feed. Celine keeps her horses at home along with Mum Suzie and sister Yasmin. They have various different types of horses and ponies, so they can have total trust that the Thunderbrook range can cater for all needs. Celine already feeds Thunderbrook HayCobs as a hay replacer when needed and is a feed room staple. The horses have already given the seal of approval on our Healthy Herbal Chaff and we are looking forward to hearing the results from introducing CushinEase into their elderly pony’s diet.’

Did you know your horse can’t produce omega fatty acids on its own? These essential nutrients—omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9—must come from their diet, and achieving the correct balance is vital for their overall health. 🌿

Here’s how each omega helps your horse:

✨ 𝗢𝗺𝗲𝗴𝗮-𝟯:
Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, omega-3 supports joint health, reduces stiffness, aids post-exercise recovery, and promotes a healthy cardiovascular and respiratory system. It also enhances immune function and contributes to a shiny, healthy coat.

✨ 𝗢𝗺𝗲𝗴𝗮-𝟲:
While often labeled as pro-inflammatory, omega-6 is essential in controlled amounts. It plays a key role in cell repair, growth, and healthy skin, making it important for recovery and tissue maintenance.

✨ 𝗢𝗺𝗲𝗴𝗮-𝟵:
This lesser-known omega is still critical! Omega-9 helps to maintain healthy metabolism and energy levels while supporting overall cell function. Unlike omega-3 and omega-6, your horse’s body can produce omega-9—but including it in their diet helps ensure optimal energy balance and health.

⚖️ Why the right ratio matters:
An imbalance of omega-6 to omega-3 can lead to excessive inflammation, which may result in joint issues, poor recovery, or a dull coat. The ideal ratio, with more omega-3s, promotes anti-inflammatory benefits while supporting overall health. Adding omega-9 enhances metabolic efficiency and energy management.

4️⃣ Avoid processed feeds:
Preferably stick to whole, untreated ingredients.

Rethinking Horse Health 🌿✨
We often focus on sugar, starch, or iron levels in forage and feeds – but are we missing a bigger factor?

Consider this:

Farming chemicals can harm gut bacteria and chelate (inactivate) minerals.
These disruptions may contribute to metabolic crashes, laminitis, and other health issues.
At Thunderbrook, our journey started with loss but led to learning. Now, we aim to educate and challenge traditional thinking to help horses thrive.

💡 Takeaway: Question everything. Stay curious. Protect your horse.

Could Chemicals Be Hurting Your Horse? 📝🤔
Have you noticed unexplained changes in your horse’s health? It could be linked to chemical exposure.

🌟 Start keeping a diary:

Record spray dates in nearby fields.
Note changes in your horse’s behavior, health, or performance.
Watch for patterns and correlations.
Why it matters: Knowledge empowers us to protect our horses and question mainstream practices that may overlook these risks.

Protecting Horses from Chemical Sprays 🚜🌟
What can you do when farming sprays are part of your environment? At Thunderbrook, we’ve developed strategies to protect our herd:

✔️ Communication is key: We work with local farmers to get advance notice of spraying.
✔️ Shelter first: Horses are stabled with closed doors during spraying.
✔️ Water safety: Field troughs are cleaned and refilled with fresh water.
✔️ Move away: Horses are relocated to the furthest paddocks.

💡 Prevention matters: Supplements like 𝗚𝘂𝘁 𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗲(5day course) can help to eliminate the build up of toxins, protecting our horses from metabolic crashes and laminitis.

🐴 The result? Reduced chemical impacts and healthier horses.

Chemical Sprays – Are They Safe for Horses? 🧪❌
Farming sprays are labeled as "safe," but what about horses?

🐴 What we’ve found:

Certain sprays lead to metabolic changes, gut issues, and acute laminitis.
These chemicals don’t just impact the soil or crops; they affect gut bacteria, hormones, and immune health.
🔬 Key culprits:
It’s not just the active ingredients in sprays (like glyphosate); it’s the additives too – emulsifiers, water softeners, and adjuvants.

💡 Protect your horse by staying informed and questioning what’s in their environment.

Why Fibre = Warmth 🌾🔥 How does hay keep your horse warm in winter? It’s all thanks to their amazing gut microbes! Inside your horse’s hindgut, fiber is fermented, releasing heat in the process. This natural “central heating system” is why horses can survive outdoors even in sub-zero temperatures. Pro Tip: Feed truly ad lib hay (always have a little left over) to ensure your horse stays warm, maintains weight, and avoids ulcers. 🐴 Warm horse = healthy horse! 💚 Next up: Why hard feed isn’t the solution you think it is.

❄️ Winter is coming! Is your horse's diet ready? ❄️ Did you know that forage, not hard feed, is your horse's best friend during the colder months? 🐴 Keep your horse warm and healthy this winter by understanding how their digestive system works. 🔥 Learn more about the magic of hay and how it fuels your horse's "internal central heating system"!

❌ Overfeeding cereals and sugar can cause digestive issues and affect your horse’s health. Feed them right with Thunderbrook’s natural, fiber-rich products. 🌱 🐴 Common Mistakes in Horse Nutrition & How to Avoid Them 🌾 Feeding your horse properly is key to their health, performance, and overall well-being! But even with the best intentions, it's easy to make a few mistakes. Here are some common ones to watch out for: 1️⃣ Too Much Grain: Overloading your horse with grain can lead to digestive issues like colic or laminitis. Ensure a balanced diet with plenty of forage! 🌱 2️⃣ Inconsistent Feeding Schedules: Horses thrive on routine. Irregular feeding can cause stress and digestive upset. Stick to a consistent schedule! ⏰ 3️⃣ Over-Supplementing: More isn’t always better! Too many supplements can throw off the balance of nutrients. Consult a vet or equine nutritionist to create a targeted plan. 💊 4️⃣ Skipping Dental Care: Poor dental health means poor digestion. Ensure regular dental check-ups to help your horse get the most out of their feed. 🦷 5️⃣ Sudden Diet Changes: Abrupt switches in feed can upset the horse’s digestive system. Make any changes slowly over 7-10 days. 🐴 Are you making any of these common horse feeding mistakes? Read more: https://ow.ly/lS4t50T8Mnu

🌿 Forage first: Why It’s essential for your horse’s gut health 🐴 Did you know that 70-80% of a horse’s diet should come from forage like hay or grass? 🌾 Horses are designed to graze for up to 16 hours a day, and consistent access to forage is crucial for their gut health. Here's why: 1️⃣ Supports Digestion: Forage promotes the growth of healthy bacteria in the gut, aiding in proper digestion and nutrient absorption. 🌿 2️⃣ Prevents Ulcers: Continuous chewing on forage produces saliva, which neutralizes stomach acid and reduces the risk of ulcers. 🐴 3️⃣ Avoids Colic: A fiber-rich diet keeps things moving through the digestive tract, lowering the chances of colic or gut impaction. 🚫 4️⃣ Mental Well-being: Horses need to graze, not just for nutrition but for mental health! Forage helps keep them calm and satisfied. At Thunderbrook, our feeds are rich in natural fibres, ensuring your horse gets the best nutrition possible. 🌱 https://ow.ly/gzR450T16Wa Is your horse getting enough forage? 🐴 💙

Your horse’s health is our priority

Thunderbrook feeds were originally created for our own herd. We wanted feeds that contained only nutrients and goodness, to balance against quality organic hay and grazing. No cheap fillers or bulking agents. No artificial flavourings or sweeteners. No molasses. No chemically processed straw. No cereal waste byproduct. No artificial preservatives. No residue after extraction of chlorophyll or other plant actives. No GM ingredients. Glyphosate testing programme. To be certified organic or grown without use of pesticides wherever possible. We will not make or sell a product that we wouldn’t feed to our own herd. Our horses health is our priority. Your horses health is our priority. No compromise. That’s our promise. :-)
