⭐ Hartog tips: muscle pain and horses⭐🐴

After intense training, it is essential to give muscle the right care and attention💡 Tips for optimal muscle recovery:

💧Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!
Provide plenty of water for your horse to drink and also stimulate water retention. This can be done through electrolytes. Hartog Recovery is ideal for this!

🌾Proteins are your essential building blocks!
Proteins are important for muscle recovery and muscle building.

🐎 Rest is essential!
Make sure your horse gets at least 24 hours of rest after intense exercise (but do give the horse light exercise)

🐴Warming up and cooling down
A good warm-up and cool down is beneficial to prevent muscle pain. If the horse does suffer from muscle pain, you can massage it to help the body eliminate waste products. So keeping up the exercise is also important!

Frequently asked questions about the Hartog Essential (FAQ)💜

❓ What makes the Hartog Essential so special?

What makes Hartog Essential special is that the levels of vitamins, minerals and trace elements are not based on the minimum but the optimum values. Also, the levels of vitamin E and biotin have been increased to supplement level 💜

❓ Why has extra vitamin E been added to Hartog Essential?

Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that can support horses when they are recovering, stressed or being trained, for example. The vitamin E content in Hartog Essential is not tailored to the minimum but to the optimum daily amount. You therefore no longer need to feed a vitamin E supplement when feeding the Hartog Essential 💪

❓Is the Hartog Essential a complete supplement to roughage? 🌾

Yes, the Hartog Essential provides your horse with all the daily vitamins, minerals and trace elements it needs, as well as extra vitamin E and biotin. You do not need to feed any concentrate in addition to Hartog Essential. Even feeding a vitamin E or biotin supplement is unnecessary! If your horse has an increased energy and/or protein requirement, due to heavy work, for example 🐎💨 it may be necessary to combine the Hartog Essential, for example with the Hartog Lucerne Mix.

Research shows that 40-90% of the sport horse population suffers from gastric ulcers 🐴 A horse's stomach is divided into two parts, the upper part consisting of cells that are not resistant to gastric acid. During intense exercise, due to the contraction of the stomach, the upper part may be exposed to gastric acid. Here, feeding roughage prior to training can have a buffering effect, reducing the risk of gastric ulcers 🌾

Saliva is important to neutralize gastric acid. In horses, saliva is only produced during chewing, while stomach acid production is continuous. Because of this, it is important to offer horses unlimited roughage or avoid long periods (longer than 4 hours) without roughage so that saliva production is stimulated by chewing movements 🌱

You can also add supplementary feed to the roughage ration if necessary, although it is recommended to give supplementary feed low in sugar and starch, such as Hartog Essential, to keep the risk of gastric ulcers low.

We can't wait to start harvesting! 🚜

Hartog is specialized in artificial drying of alfalfa or grass crop 🌿 We source our crops locally because we have contract farming with the farmers. The advantage of this is that we can also closely monitor the process!

We harvest 🌱 the crop, rake it, chop it and then pick it up, unload and dry it in our own factory in Lambertschaag 🏭 Through this process, we maintain the quality of the crop, so we can also use it later in the year to make different products.

The chopping ensures that the crop is about the same length all together. This is because this way, the crop can be dried evenly to maintain that quality 🌾

This way, we make all horses "𝙃𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙮 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙙𝙚"

Hartog explains!🌾
How can you determine your horse's body condition?

It is tempting to look at how "fat" your horse's belly is. How large the size of your horse's belly is, simply does not give a good idea about your horse's weight🐴

While performing a Body Condition Score (BCS), you look at and feel several defined points of your horse's body. The six points looked at are the neck, withers, back, shoulder, ribs and beginning of the tail. You then give these points of the body a grade from 0 to 5, where 0 stands for too lean and 5 for heavily overweight. Your horse does not have to have the same score on each point during a BCS 📊 The average of this score is your horse's overall body condition score.

The meadow season has started again! 🌿At the transition from stable to meadow, thin manure is common with horses. Did you know that this can be a sign of a disturbance in the bacteria living in your horse's guts?

The Hartog Digest can help balance and maintain the microbiota, which is an important step in problems such as thin manure or diarrhea.

How does the Hartog Digest do this?
Hartog Digest contains postbiotics that support gut health. Feeding the desired bacteria (microbiota) in the guts keeps the microbiota better balanced, in addition to supporting the growth of healthy gut villi (villi) and mucous membranes.

Why is vitamin E so important for horses?🐴

Vitamin E is very important for different parts of the body! Vitamin E can support horses when they need to recover, are stressed or being trained. In fact, after a heavy workout, your horse may benefit more from vitamin E so that the muscles can recover properly ✨

If vitamin E is lacking, this can increase the risk of muscle damage after training. Vitamin E shortages can cause various symptoms such as reduced immunity and muscle stiffness. Stressed, recovering or horses with muscle abnormalities can also benefit from higher levels of vitamin E in their rations💚

Did you know that a healthy body condition is very important for horses?⚖️ Obesity is a common problem in horses. A balanced diet is essential to achieve and maintain a healthy weight.

Often, these horses only get a handful of concentrate 🐴 Average concentrate feed is calculated for a minimum allowance of 2 kg per day (horse 600 kg). Many horses are given less than the recommended amount of concentrate because it makes them too hot or too fat, for example. In many cases, these horses therefore do not get enough vitamins, minerals and trace elements 🌿

Hartog Essential is very suitable for horses that suffer from obesity! It is a balancer that provides your horse with all its daily requirements of vitamins, minerals and trace elements 💊💪

✨ Did you know that biotin plays a major role in the health of horses' coat and hooves?

Biotin is a B vitamin and supports the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins🌾In addition, it also supports hoof and coat health. When giving 20mg of biotin a day, you already see a significant improvement in hoof quality💚

Biotin is one of the few vitamins 💊 where a megadose has a positive effect. It is also known that a that an excess of biotin is not a risk or toxic. When the horse has enough, the excess is simply excreted.

Why fiber is important?! 🌿

It is the source of slow-release energy, which can greatly benefit old(er) horses, among others. Fiber is not only crucial for healthy digestion, but it is also important for maintaining a healthy body weight and preventing digestive problems!

When a horse has a reduced chewing ability, because it is an older horse or a horse has worse teeth, you still want to provide it with enough fiber🌾We have a roughage mash, which is low in sugar and starch! The Hartog Haycobs is made of soft fibers, making them very easy to absorb💪

Enriching the Haycobs with all necessary vitamins, minerals and trace elements? Then add the Hartog Essential! This will provide your horse with all the daily requirements of vitamins, minerals and trace elements 🍃

Review time 🖊️
We always enjoy getting reviews. Today it is the turn of the Hartog Haycobs 😊 The Hartog Haycobs is a fairly new product from Hartog, this is why we appreciate reviews on this product, like the ones from Laura and Nadia:

Laura: "My old horse has dental problems and PPID. The Hartog Haycobs are great to feed because of the low sugar content. And because you feed it as a slobber it is easy to eat. My horse really likes the Haycobs, and as an added benefit he is also building more muscle strength."

Nadia: "I started testing the Hartog Haycobs because I was looking for a better weekly feed for a lean shetlander. Haycobs are easy to use and Pukkie eats it with relish. It is easy to mix in other things or make it a bit wetter or drier by playing with the water quantity. Pukkie's body has become a bit fuller in the month and I hope this continues. I would definitely recommend Hartog Haycobs to horses that could use some extra."

Spring has begun! 🌼This means the first foals have already been born or will be born soon 🐴

Very nice of course a foal, but the pregnant mare should not be forgotten of course. To properly support your mare, a proper nutritional diet is very important🌾

As the pregnancy progresses, the foal will take up more space and, as a result, there will simply be less room for the feed. Because of this, pregnant mares have a greater need for nutritionally rich diet.🌿The Hartog Grass Mix is an ideal product for this! Besides being rich in nutrients, the Grass Mix is also a very tasty roughage mix. This can stimulate the mare's appetite.

💪Also, the Grass Mix can help your mare to stay on condition, so that the concentrate feed ration does not have to be increased as much. To help slow down absorption, you can also mix the Grass Mix with the mare's pellet.

The Hartog Grass Mix is the ideal choice for (partially) replacing roughage for old(er) horses or horses with reduced chewing ability, among others, thanks to the soft fibers. It is also ideal for horses with a need for high and consistent quality roughage 💚

Did you know that Hartog Grass mix is also suitable for horses that are sensitive to dust? ✨ This is due to the binding of the leaf dust and the artificial drying process of the product.

Hartog explains!🌾
What is the difference between the Hartog Lucerne mix and the Hartog Lucerne Pellets?

The main difference between the Hartog Lucerne Pellets and the Hartog Lucerne mix, is the shape and structure of the products🌿 The Hartog Lucerne mix offers more structure for your horse or pony and can be mixed with both concentrates and a balancer. Due to the structure, horses and ponies have to chew more, which increases the absorption time of the product and creates more saliva. This is an advantage for horses that are more sensitive to stomach ulcers, for example, as gastric juices are neutralized by saliva🌟

The Hartog Lucerne Pellets is the pellet form of the alfalfa 🍃 Compared to the mix, the pellets contain a higher protein percentage. This can be beneficial if you give the pellets with the aim of adding extra protein to the ration. Looking for a product with more structure? Then you're better off choosing the Lucerne Mix.

Lucerne is known for its wealth of high-quality protein, fibre, vitamins, minerals and trace elements. And that is exactly why our Hartog Lucerne Mix is so special!

With both the stems and leaf material from the alfalfa plant, our mix offers all the benefits that alfalfa has to offer. The stems provide structure and fibre, while the leaf material is packed with nutrients such as proteins, vitamins and minerals 🌿

💪Our Hartog Lucerne Mix is ideal for horses that require consistent quality roughage. It is a valuable supplement for muscle building and maintenance, thanks to its high-quality proteins.

Because the energy in the mix comes from the fiber of the alfalfa stems, the Hartog Lucerne Mix contains slow-release energy, which ensures that your horse does not get hot 🌾
