Ethical Equine Nutritional Advice and HoofStrong Equine Supplements

Heads up for itchy horse owners ….

So the time of year has come again when we all look forward to the spring... And you might want to think of starting your horse on S-Itch if you have a sweet itch horse, as we do..
Before S-Itch we had to stock up on creams, shampoo, rugs and our boy would go through them all at a rapid rate, shredding rugs, and using creams that seemed to only work for a few hours.
These last 2 summers on HoofStrong's sweet itch, he has been in one fly rug, no creams needed, lives out 24/7 non irritated and looks like any other horse, mane and tail intact!
Worth a try :-) if you have an itchy horse, message us to find out more, this is a research based product !

A lovely little piece of feedback to an owner passed on to us “farrier was astonished at the speed of hoof growth, and that’s down to the supplements”.

Thank you Alison and Sybren

Unfortunately we have had a few horses come to us recovering from grass related colic from changing over to winter fields.
Just to be clear
There is nothing you can feed, no supplement, to stop grass related colic if a horse rapidly eats large quantities of highly fermentable lush grass. Horses can eat very quickly if they like what they are eating!
Ponies even faster!

The situation is more risky if the grass is wet, because horses don’t chew wet forage as well as they do dry, so the swallowed particle sizes can be larger and can also risk impaction.

Management is key..
all field changes should take place gradually over a period of 2 weeks (winter and summer time)
If you know your horse will eat a lot of long grass rapidly then use a muzzle, strip grazing can still be risky.
Feed your horse before you let them out, a full stomach takes 2 hours to empty and horses naturally will not gorge if their stomachs are already full.

Studied Wild horses are considered to rarely suffer from colic, they don’t change grazing areas rapidly, usually moving to newer pasture over a few months ! The equine gut is very fragile so please take care 🥰

Another stunning improvement
Dapples anyone?
Little bit of info…

The science snippet

Dapples are genetically controlled but are only fully expressed when the diet is working well (and there’s no copper deficiency) 😉
