Spring in Southland!!
The ponies weren't happy leaving the stables but the builders have a hiab coming this morning and the stables will be a bit noisy!

Got a fizzy, spicy or hot horse? 🐎🔥
Sometimes diet is the reason your horse has a little too much go!

Here are 3 common causes of potential excess energy:
🌾 Too much sugar & starch – Feeds with molasses or grains can spike energy and excitement.
🥕 Not enough forage – Fibre-rich feed provides steady energy and helps avoid the energy rollercoaster.
🤷‍♀️ Ingredient sensitivities – Like us, some horses just react differently to certain feeds.

💡Looking for feeds to help your horse stay calm and focused?

Check out these cool options:
🦥 Hekeao Grain Free – High fibre for steady energy and healthy weight gain
🦥 Hekeao CoolFuel – Cool energy, calm mind
🦥 Hekeao EasyBlend – Balanced sugar & starch for a focused, happy horse
🦥 Hekeao TrueFibre Timothy Pellets – High fibre for calm energy and smart weight control

Have your feed labels got you scratching your head? Let’s chat about it 👍🏻

That “DE” on the bag? It stands for Digestible Energy - basically, how much usable energy your horse gets from the feed after digestion. Think of it like fuel in the tank!

Here’s the scoop:
- EasyBlend = 10 MJ/kg of DE
- Trainer’s Special = 14.7 MJ/kg of DE

That means Trainer’s Special packs 47% more energy than EasyBlend. Whoa! 🐎

So, what’s the right pick?
- Got a horse with low energy requirements? EasyBlend is your go-to in order to keep them healthy without overdoing it on energy.
- Got a high-performance athlete or a racehorse in the making? Trainer’s Special brings the zoom.

Feeding your horse the right feed to meet their energy requirement is super important. If you’re still not sure, check out our handy feed selector guide, pinned on our page

Perfect for walking the dogs, picking daffodils and checking if we have any lambs!

I normally don't work on Fridays but made an exception today for a fantastic bunch of kids who came to meet our horses. The weather was a bit challenging but we managed to get some time in the arena between the absolute downpours complete with thunder and lightning!
All the horses were amazing and gave the kids the best experience. Elliot is proving to be a firm favorite with everyone and he is so calm and trustworthy for such a young pony.
