We have received feedback that some customers are finding the first of these new batches, 𝗦𝗦𝗕-𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰𝟬𝟱𝟭𝟲-𝟬𝟬𝟭 and 𝗦𝗦𝗕-𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰𝟬𝟱𝟯𝟭-𝟬𝟬𝟭, are taking longer the usual 15-30 minutes to soak.

Some years, this will not noticeably effect the soak time, as the ambient temperature is usually higher come June, but this year some customers have found there are still hard lumps remaining after their usual 30 minute soak.

▪ Increase the amount of water used. If you typically soak in 2.5 times its volume of water, try increasing this to 3 times its volume.

We know that many of our HayCare customers choose this product specifically for the high fibre and low sugar levels, so wanted to reassure you that this is completely natural and not an indication of increased feed value. The pellets are still 100% Timothy grass, from the same grower, and the nutritional profile remains in line with our specification for this product.

The colour is a richer green than other recent batches as the Timothy grass in these pellets was harvested, dried and pressed only 2-3 weeks ago. As the year goes on the vibrant colour will gradually fade, as you will see if you compare pellets from your previous bag to the new ones. This transition point is not always so noticeable, but the colour difference is particularly stark this year due to the poor weather during the growing season for this cut. It has been incredibly wet, and the standing crop has had little to no sun on it, resulting in a brighter colouring than usual. This has been further exaggerated because the sun bleaching that would usually occur whilst the cut grass dries naturally in the field, before it is collected and finished off in the rotary drier, just hasn’t happened with the overcast weather.

Great product👌🏻💦🍌🐴

𝗟𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝗘𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗲𝗻𝗱? 💥

Before looking at changing what fuel you are putting the tank….

☀️Consider the weather - it was much hotter than it has been - I certainly didn’t do my PB when I went running!

Most people are used to using Saracen Re-covery mash post exercise, but have you considered using it in the run up to your event?

🏃‍♀️If you were going to take part in a long distance run yourself, you would be advised to drink plenty of water on the build up to the event, so that when you arrive your body is in its best hydrated state…. So with a horse that’s lacked a bit of energy, rather than running for the competition fit mix straight off… I would try using the Re-Covery mash in a small quantity a couple of days before your competition & as your morning feed before traveling or even when you arrive at the event, if you’ve time before you ride.

💦 Not only are you adding water, you are also making sure there is also some fibre going through especially if they are not fond of eating hay while in the box.

🧽Don’t forget to pack your sponge though as you know how messy it is!

Further update from Allen & Page Horse Feeds:

𝖴𝖯𝖣𝖠𝖳𝖤 – 𝖬𝖠𝖸 20𝗍𝗁

Unfortunately, we are still experiencing soak time issues with the following feeds, therefore May to date could also be affected:

Fast Fibre, Care & Gain, Veteran Light, Veteran Vitality

Please therefore soak the feed until all pellets are fully dissolved.

Thank you.

16/05/2024

Please read below:

Due to environmental issues, coupled with equipment supply problems, the following feeds with batch dates in April may take longer to soak.

Feeds: Fast Fibre, Veteran Light & Care & Gain

Rest assured, the formulas are unchanged and provide the same excellent nutrition, therefore the feed can be fed as long as all pellets are thoroughly soaked.

please soak until all pellets are fully dissolved and a mash is formed, we suggest making your evening feed in the morning and vice versa.

Timely advice ⬇️🌱

❗ Beware Atypical Myopathy ❗

Check your pastures as we’re hearing particularly high numbers of Sycamore seedlings currently. These helicopter seedlings are highly toxic and can be fatal. Autumn is recognized as a risk when the seeds drop, but Spring seedlings also contain the deadly poison, hyopglycin A, which effectively starves muscles of energy – particularly heart muscles.

Management Tips:

❗ Avoid grazing where seedlings can drop and remember they can travel far
❗ Monitor closely and remove seedlings, ideally by pulling up
❗ Dispose of seedlings away from horses
❗ Provide additional forage, ideally off the floor and away from any sycamores
❗ Check water, which can also be contaminated
❗ Supplement their diet; additional vitamins and minerals are linked to a better outcome*

Signs of Atypical Myopathy:

❗ Weakness, difficulty walking & standing
❗ Heart & breathing problems
❗ Depression & lethargy
❗ Muscle tremors
❗ Similar to colic, but with a good appetite
❗ Dark red, brown, urine
❗ Sudden death

If you are worried your horse or pony may have grazed on seedlings, or are showing signs of Atypical Myopathy contact your Vet immediately.
