***MINERAL BUCKETS*** I now have them at my yard.. I will message you if you already asked for one and give you my bank details. I will be keeping a supply if there is anyone else wanting some.

I have another delivery of these excellent mineral buckets in the next week. These are 20kg with added biotin and all my ponies have one of these in their fields when at grass. £35 each and when finished you have a feed bucket ( priced in shops at around £6 ).
They are not consumed like the alternative molasses heavy licks in fragile plastic containers, they tend to use them when they need the vitamins and not as a sugar treat.

April 2024 Kacey has owned Rupert ( now gelded ) since 2023. They have been achieving great results and have just gained their first RI ticket in the Intermediate Young Rider at BSPS Area 4B. The day before they qualified for the London International semi finals. A very exciting season ahead for them. So proud to have bought him from Beaulieu Rd sales and be part of his formative years.

The dangers of paddock grass to our equine friends is not a new subject we are constantly talking about it all over the world due to it’s often catastrophic impact on our domesticated horses .

We talk about the spring and early summer burst of fresh lush grass .
We talk about the autumn flush of lush grass .
We even talk about winter frosts and sunny days with its impact on the grass .

So now it’s a year round problem for so many horses including most of mine .

How can we safely allow our horses to graze in the paddock without the worry of laminitis.

NOT EASY THAT FOR SURE. 😣and trust me I dont always get it right either.

We know that Grass that is shorter than six inches is very problematic and the shorter it is the more dangerous it becomes.

That said even if still fresh and green looking even at six inches and above can be a disaster for many .

Very Short eaten down to stubs grass is FULL of sugars as this is often called stressed grass which they love as it’s so sweet but this is extremely dangerous.

Sunlight , dew and dampness especially at spring and autumn causes this to absorb and replenish its reserves so at the end of a lovely sunny day it’s literally full of sugar and uses this over night to grow .

Early morning grazing is generally safer on this grass but certainly not full safe proof .

Adding to issues as temperatures drops over night to almost freezing or even a few degrees above this allow the grass to hold on to the sugar and not use it so early morning grazing is just as dangerous.

Mind blowing and very difficult to manage a sensitive horse , and even non sensitive types can very suddenly be affected by these spikes in grasses .

So can we help to create safer grazing by allowing the paddocks to grow to maturity before allowing any grazing , and keep moving the area so not allow short stressed grass to become a problem .
Putting in track systems are certainly the way forward and feeding ad lib hays , but again not everyone can afford to keep feeding ad lib hays or indeed it’s been difficult for many finding the right hay for horses all year round .
A combination of both track systems and correct management for the paddocks grasses and plant appropriate species may be a safer option for many .

This management should ensure lower sugars and better diversity fibre management intake plus more chewing time which is more species appropriate on their digestive system.

Any thoughts and are owners out there adapting to this practice.

Nutschullyng Saint Boniface is off to Germany. He walked straight up with those lanky legs! Looking forward to following his progress.
Nebo Stud are efficient and specialists in taking ponies abroad couldn't be happier that they had been chosen to take him to his new home.
