Before the rain rolls in this weekend, we’re giving our barley crop at “The Glen” a little nutritional boost - because even crops need a good meal 💪🏼
With Mount Somers looming majestically in the background, it’s the perfect backdrop for some pre-rain TLC. A little top-up of essential nutrients now and we’ll be ready to let nature work it’s magic with the forecasted rain.
Thanks to our friends at for helping our crops thrive 😀

With the show season well underway, here are some great ways to keep your horses healthy and happy while travelling to shows this season 🌞
1. Offer Fibre - providing fibre before you hit the road helps support their digestive health. Check out Cool Fibre, this fast soaking mash supports their gut health and also helps your horses stay hydrated.
2. Hydration is key - make sure your horse is well hydrated before departure and plan to stop frequently during your trip to order fresh water.
3. Add electrolytes - during the warmer months, including electrolytes in your horses diet can help prevent dehydration and keep them feeling great.
4. Balanced diet - ensure your horse has a balanced diet to support their energy and performance while travelling.
Happy travels!!

When it comes to feeding your horse, quality should always come first. While cheap feed might save you a few dollars upfront, it can lack the essential nutrients your horse needs for energy, performance, and long-term health. Your horse deserves the best—choose nutrition that supports its vitality, and you’ll see the difference in both its health and their general wellbeing 💫

🐴 Did you know your horse’s stomach is about the size of a watermelon? That’s right—just 8-15 litres which is only 10% of their digestive system! Horses are designed to graze small amounts all day long, not gulp down large meals. Feeding too much grain in one go can overload their small stomach and lead to problems like colic 😳

Pro tip: Make sure you weigh your feed rather than relying on scoops or flakes. Feeds vary in density, so weighing ensures your horse gets the right amount of nutrients, avoiding overfeeding or underfeeding. ⚖️ Small, frequent meals are key to better digestion and overall health! 🐎🌿
