𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 🌾 The weather is set to continue to be mild and showery – perfect weather for grass growth! ⚠️

Even if your good-doer made it out of winter slimmer than they went in, early vigilance is essential to ensure they don’t put it all back on again, over the spring and summer. ☀️

Grass is a significant source of calories, especially at this time of year, so controlling intake can make a big difference. ✅ Just reducing your horse’s time at grass may encourage them to just eat more as soon as they’re turned out so it’s worth considering other ways to control grass intake:

⚠️ Strip grazing – This is relatively easy to do with movable electric fencing and is definitely preferable to free range access to larger areas of lush grazing.

⚠️ Track systems – These can be on grass or all-weather surfaces (with alternative forage provided) and can help encourage more movement and exercise.

⚠️ Grazing muzzles – These can reduce grass intake by up to 80% and allow a horse to roam with companions who don’t need to wear a muzzle.

We look at the Pros and Cons of all these methods in our new revised Equine Weight Loss Handbook. Order your free copy: https://www.baileyshorsefeeds.co.uk/equine-weight-loss

🩸 Vasodilation is the process by which the blood vessels in the body relax and widen, allowing for greater blood flow.

🩸 Vasodilation allows for an increase in oxygen and nutrient delivery within the body, allowing for greater energy production for the muscles.

🩸 Vasodilation also helps improve the removal of catabolic waste products from the muscles like lactic acid and ammonia that contribute to muscle fatigue and failure.

🩸 Vasodilation is most beneficial to athletes (horses) that require aerobic endurance and who produce a lot of lactic acid.

More oxygen and nutrients in and lactic acid out 👊🏽👊🏽
