🥕🥕🥕 Friday focus...carrots! 🥕🥕🥕

It is carrot season!!!

Due to some misinformation out there about carrots, I know some of you are very concerned about feeding them to your horses, particularly those with laminitis, EMS and Cushings. A carrot or two a day is absolutely fine, most things are in moderation! So if you are worried about giving carrots to your horse or pony, here are a few carrot facts to ease your mind!

🥕 Carrots are high in water - around 80% so they are a fabulous succulent!

🥕 On an as fed, fresh weight basis, carrots are low in sugar - around 4-5% per 100g of carrot.

🥕 They are low also low in starch on a fresh weight basis - making around 6% NSC in 100g of carrot.

🥕 Carrots are useful additions to winter rations of dry feed (hay & concentrates) as they are a more natural source of moisture-containing feed when many horses are fed unnaturally dry diets of hay and concentrates.

🥕 They are excellent training treats, great for hiding meds in and they can also help increase appetites and encourage horses to eat; particularly when grated and mixed into the feed!

🥕 Carrots are an excellent source of vitamin A - 100g of carrot more than meets a 500g horses vitamin A requirement!

🥕 Their naturally high vitamin A content makes them a fab source of antioxidants, particularly for our older horses!

🥕 Slice carrots into batons to avoid choke and for those with poor dental function, grated carrot added to the feed works really well!

I always feed carrots throughout ‘carrot season’; I do have an EMS horse! There is absolutely nothing wrong with a carrot or two a day and they are a fabulous little addition to a winter

Please note, I’ve taken the day off as my little boy is having surgery. However, I do have my diary and iPad with me so I can keep my mind busy. If you message me, I will get back to you but please be aware responses maybe delayed.

End of last week I mentioned to Mr C how I’d like to understand nutrition better so that I can do the best possible for our gang, he bought me this book over the weekend and despite only reading about 20pages, I love it already!

Gorgeous morning 😍

What a super day!!
First beautiful Malwen and Sossi were welcomed to the clinic (photo of them both meeting Colin the cockerel) followed by a visit from lovely Jess and Inca and then the equally lovely Louise from The Veterinary Hospital came to learn some physio techniques that can help their patients! Rudi was a very willing victim 😂 and thoroughly embraced the attention!
I look forward to working with The Veterinary Hospital more in the near future… watch this space!
