SALT CONFUSION? 🧂🐴

? Plain table salt, salt licks, sea salt, fine or coarse grade, french or cornish, himalayan pink salt, black salt, grey salt, red salt, smoked salt, iodised salt, electrolytes, in water or feed, a teaspoon daily or two tablespoons, or no added salt at all?

You're forgiven if you're confused about salt for your horse.

Here are some salt facts:
> Salt is used to describe sodium chloride which is an electrolyte compound made of two essential minerals for horses, and is important for fluid balance, heart, nerve and muscle function, transport of substances into cells, bile and stomach acid formation.

> Forages including grass, hay and haylage rarely supply enough sodium for your horse and most feed, balancer and supplements don't supply enough either. Products don't contain enough salt because it can be harmful to other ingredients, plus daily requirements depend entirely on how much a horse exercises (and therefore sweats)

> A general guide is to offer a salt block for all horses then also add 1 tablespoon of salt (per 500kg) for horses in light work, adjusting up to 3 tablespoons for a horse in heavy work who is sweating substantially. Adjust for bodyweight

> You add salt into the FEED to replenish sodium. You add salt (or a combination electrolyte product) to WATER to help the horse replenish water (fluid) i.e.for rehydration

> The type of salt you feed doesn't alter the horse's body's uptake or use of sodium so it's down to your choice

> Most plain table salt (and some other types including sea salt) have anti-caking agents added to stop clumping and most of them are harmless mineral compounds

> Sea salt and mined salt e.g. himalayan will contain traces of other minerals so are less pure sources of sodium chloride. Iodised salt has iodine added and can be tricky to find in the UK - useful if your forage is particularly low in iodine and is fed as well as a vitamin & mineral fortified feed, balancer or supplement

> Up to moderate excesses of sodium are excreted easily by the body so if in doubt, feed a little over rather than under (but don't overdo it!)

> Adding salt is not an antidote to the high potassium levels in forage just in the same way as adding vitamins is not a 'tonic'. Salt provides sodium, which is an essential mineral the horse cannot do without and their diets are, generally low so they need supplementation

Grass is coming through at the moment so using a balancer is a great way of providing your horse with essential nutrients!

All of the Keyflow Balancers are molasses free and easy to digest!

Keep a look out to see which balancer might be the most suited to your horses needs!

MONITOR, MONITOR, MONITOR! 🐴✅

For any of you who have worked with me, or been to one of my talks or webinars, you'll have heard me talk about this. A lot!

It's because it is very important. Especially at this time of year in the UK.

The grass is getting going now and lots of horses are out for longer - or even out 24/7. Most horses will put on weight given free grass access so do monitor your horse. If they put on too much weight (fat) you will need to find a way to restrict their grass access.

Weightapes are useful to monitor changes in body fat levels. They aren't particularly accurate for actual bodyweight, but that doesn't matter when you are using them to monitor changes. Just match your ideal weightape reading with your horse's healthy body fat level. Don't worry if you don't know how much your horse's reading should be - just match it to a body fat level that allows you to feel the ribs easily (no hard prodding required), and where there is no hard crest or fatty pads at the top of the tail, behind the shoulders or either side of the withers.

You can condition score if you like, and there are many guides on how to do so (My ENLC, The Blue Cross, Spillers, University of Liverpool). But you don't have to, if you follow the general guide above.

Just be sure to write/type your horse's weight from the weightape down somewhere safe, with the date, and then take a reading and record it every week or fortnight. In this way you will spot changes and be able to adjust the diet more quickly.

How do you and how often do you monitor your horse?

Please share! 🐴🍏
