Did you know that leaving your horse with an empty stomach for even a couple of hours could be detrimental to their gut health?

Horses by nature are intermittent feeders, meaning they spent their days grazing open fields before we ever decided that it would be fun to give them a ride. Lots of things have changed since that fateful day, but as they say some things stay the same. This has held true for the equine digestive tract, meaning that when we leave them in a stall or dry lot without access to free choice hay and good fresh water we are opening our horses up to issues such as gastric acidosis, the leading cause of ulcers, and potentially even colic. If we do this in conjunction with a higher NSC feed we are increasing the potential for Acidosis, laminitis, and yet again colic. Lots of dirty words in those last couple sentences, so how can we avoid these issues in todays world?

1.) Provide quality free choice hay, this helps to form a solid base for a fiber mat and to provide fill in the stomach to prevent collapse and the splashing of acid onto the upper region of the stomach where it's not intended to be. If space is limited such as in a stall use a slow feed bag to provide access to hay over a longer period of time and to provide enrichment for your horses and help prevent such things as cribbing, and other goofy things they do when they're bored.

2.) Feed a low NSC ration with a high fiber content to more closely mimic the digestive pattern of a forage based animal, and to aid in further developing the aforementioned fiber mat. It's also important to ensure the feed has a complete vitamin and mineral pack to supplement the nutrients they're missing out on, or provide these micro nutrients with a mineral or other supplement.

3.) Last but certainly not least, make sure they have an adequate source of fresh water that is regularly cleaned! Dehydration is a no no for everyone!

KoolSpeed was formulated to aid in the reduction and/or severity of gastric acidosis, it is a low NSC, High Fiber feed, and comes with a complete vitamin and mineral pack. Let us help you in keeping your horses healthy, happy, and with plenty of gas in the tank.
