The hay has been cut and it’s lovely and dry - the prefect time for a ride around the farm 🥰🌾

One of the biggest unspoken benefits of the track is the effect it has on our ridden horses! The constant movement keeps them ticking over, keeping their fitness for longer and lovely and loose! Removing the added pressure for them to be ridden everyday because the track does most of it for us! We just get to do it for fun now 💚

I verdi pascoli lussureggianti, contrariamente all'opinione popolare, sono habitat innaturali per i cavalli, e sono quindi la fonte di una dieta nociva. Come risultato, centinaia di cavalli soccombono ogni anno alla laminite, perché vengono buttati a vivere su campi d'erba e di piante leguminose. I pascoli d'erba non solo non forniscono quella superficie secca ed abrasiva di cui lo zoccolo necessita per conformarsi naturalmente, me l'erba stessa in certi momenti dell'anno è tossica per il sistema digestivo del cavallo. I disordini digestivi stimolano la proliferazione di batteri dannosi che causano catastrofici cambiamenti enzimatici all'interno dello zoccolo.

Just your periodic reminder of all the grass that isn’t growing in the U.S. Great Basin (an adaptive habitat) where horses like this beautiful, healthy, fit, wild and free-roaming stallion lives naturally.

Many horse owners (along with vets, farriers, trainers, breeders and other equine experts) have been brainwashed to believe that lush green pastures are a natural food item for the species. And many pharmaceutical companies bring in large amounts of money selling you concoctions to treat the symptoms of their various conditions resulting from this practice. If they lose their customers, they will go out of business or be forced to forge a different path.

Imagine if they decided to fund a genuine research study on the diet of these horses and actually tried to determine what all, how much, when and why they consume what they do to have bodies appear to be in such perfect condition - at a perfect weight - when we can’t even see all their sources of calories? Imagine if the study resulted in creating a supplement made of the nutrients that healthy horses living naturally actually need? This would be beneficial and profitable if the study was a genuine research project using biologists, botanists, geologists, anthropologists, etc. And there would be no need to sell you pharmaceuticals to treat IR, Cushings, Laminitis, EMS, etc. if you decide to stop doing all the wrong things. Jaime Jackson has been railing about the need to study these animals for years - so much of the ways that domestic horses are managed are based upon guessing. Or based upon research studies of unhealthy horses living in stalls, grazing in green pastures, are shod and fed foods that may or may not benefit them but often. - Jill

I think it’s past time we talk more about the current laminitis risks in the UK, so this post I’m going to talk a little bit about a couple of cases I’ve seen this week, and how you can help prevent the same thing from happening to your horse.

Starting with my own horse, Howie: I keep him, along with three small ponies on a pretty bald grass track. I move the fence to give them a tiny patch of long stemmy grass early in the morning, and its gone in around 10 minutes. A few days ago his crest hardened and his pulses were strong. I should have stopped moving the fence as soon as that happened. But I, in all my wisdom, thinking my laminitis prone minis are doing well, and my Howie-highland has never had laminitis, didn’t read the signs. He’s come in really sore tonight and his pulses are through the roof.

This morning I went out to a cob who has no signs of laminitis but has gained weight. Two other horses on the same yard currently have active laminitis, so the owner of the cob is bringing him in during the day with soaked hay to reduce grazing and see if we can get a little weight off him. Really wise decision 💪🏼

This afternoon I went out to a 4yr old arabian mare who came in a little footy on weds night, and was kept in until thursday night. Evening turnout thursday, and significantly more sore by morning. She’s not overweight, not metabolic, and not on lush grazing.

Yesterday I saw a little miniature horse for the first time, whose owner was not aware that he was high risk for laminitis, and turned him out on ex dairy grazing with her elderly horse. Soaked hay, boots with pads and medication from the vet has helped, but his future is touch and go.

Thursday was my day off, but I went out to a thoroughbred who had loose stools and was rocked back on his heels. He had just been turned out on the summer grazing which looks like standing hay, but is also full of clover.

Wednesday the only laminitis I saw was in a mare recovering from autumn ppid related laminitis. But you get the picture I hope. It is everywhere in all types of horses.

I have spent much of this week slotting sudden onset laminitics in, mostly wb, tb and arab types - so this year it seems, many cases are horses you might never expect to see with laminitis. The truth is, thoroughbreds and finer breeds seem just as vulnerable. The following list is not exhaustive, but these are a few things you might want to consider, as a preventative:

*monitor pulses and if they become strong, or stronger than normal, get the horse off the grass

*monitor weight, and restrict/cut out grazing if your horse is overweight, has fat pads or a cresty neck

*pay attention to how comfortable your horse is. Is he suddenly a bit pottery when turning a circle? Footy on surfaces he’d normally happily stride out on? Banging his heels down when walking? Short in trot? More sensitive to stones/grit?

*consider soaking hay. 30-45 minutes will reduce the potassium by half, and will also reduce sugar/starch.

*supplement your horse with magnesium and salt.

*Consider strip grazing, a grazing muzzle, or night time only turnout (grass stores energy through the day, being at its highest levels in the early evening. This energy is converted into new growth overnight, so the safest time to turnout is early morning hours).

*Use the laminitis risk app or the grasscheckgb website to help avoid periods where risk is elevated.

*consider setting up a temporary track

*find out what kind of grass species are in your field and your forage (rye and/or clover are higher risk than meadow grass species).

*Remind yourself every day that prevention is better than cure, and be as prepared as you can be. Know the signs, check for them daily and act when you see them.

*Do not be afraid to ask for help if you need it

A summers evening hack around the farm and track😎 perfect for those evenings where we are a little limited on time and don’t want to venture out to the trails or other local bridleways!

The barn is lovely and cool today, a nice shade away from flies too - although I think the horses are enjoying the sunshine 🤣

Side note - I am absolutely loving the Aubiose bedding! So absorbent and aesthetically pleasing 🙌🏻🤩

The subtle signs of laminitis. Get to know what is “normal” for your horse so you have a baseline to note any changes - laminitis can be fatal if not caught, and managed in time 💔

We are really happy with how Jester is looking at the moment - he’s an older chap with a few health challenges but with constant access to appropriate forage and correct management he’s looking great!

We’ve actually been able to help him gain a little bit of weight since he arrived and has a lovely new shine to his coat 🥰

Tracks aren’t just for the equines needing to lose some weight! 🤣

A beautiful morning on our track system - birds are in full song 🎶🐦💚 #tracksystem #tracklivery #derbyshire #horses

Spring is in the air 🤩🤫

Rolling in to 2023 like … 🤪

Discovering their new barn!

The barn is open for business 🤩 It’s been a busy week with lots of late nights to get it all ready for the heat wave! We are lucky to have natural shelter on the track from our trees but I wanted something a little cooler for them. We had originally intended on the barn being an august project but the heat had other ideas 😅 still need to put some bedding in for them and finish a bits off but it’s now usable for them which is the main thing!

Smallest members of the herd on their way for a drink. I could watch them all day!

Did we mention a pre wash service is included in all of our livery packages?😂

The hay is finally being cut!! Everywhere is finally looking a bit tidier again 😍 Project grass arena pending….😏

MOVEMENT Movement created by strategic hay feeding in a herd environment on our track has endless benefits to our equine friends! Particularly those with metabolic conditions, arthritis, PSSM and general weight management.

3 of the herd moving freely around our track

What is a track system? Simply put, a track system is a track / path around the edge of a field which encourages movement by strategic placing of water and forage. The immediate benefits are increased movement, restricted grazing and returning to a more natural way of life which is species appropriate. Our track will eventually be grass free but this is a process which takes time. I will cover the reasons why the track will be grass free in further posts as this is a whole other topic!! By increasing movement and restricting grazing, these two elements can add amazing value to our equine friend’s life by improving conditions such as obesity, arthritis, stiffness, EMS, laminitis, PSSM and overall health and well being 🐴
