🌾🐴 Did you know your horse’s body is designed to eat 24/7?

Unlike us, horses have small stomachs that produce acid all day long—even if they aren’t eating. That’s why constant access to forage (hay or pasture) isn’t just a treat, it’s a requirement for their health.

💡 Here’s why forage around the clock matters:
✔️ Keeps the gut moving, lowering the risk of colic
✔️ Protects against painful ulcers by preventing an empty stomach
✔️ Helps maintain weight, muscle, and a shiny coat
✔️ Keeps horses calmer, happier, and less prone to bad habits (cribbing, chewing, etc.)
✔️ Mimics their natural grazing lifestyle in the wild

Think of forage as your horse’s “security blanket”—it fuels their body, supports their mind, and gives them comfort. 💚 A horse with hay in front of them is a healthier, more content horse!

🌟 Bottom line: Horses don’t just like having hay available 24/7—they need it to thrive.

💧🐴 Why Water Intake is Crucial for Horses in Cooler Months! 🐴💧

As we embrace the cooler weather, it’s easy to overlook the importance of hydration for our equine companions. Yet, maintaining adequate water intake during this season is essential for their health and well-being. Here’s why:
1. Prevent Dehydration: Horses can be less keen to drink when it’s cold, but they still lose moisture through breathing and metabolic processes. Dehydration can lead to serious health issues!
2. Support Digestion: Proper hydration is vital for maintaining healthy digestion. Water helps to soften feed and aids in nutrient absorption, ensuring your horse gets the most out of their meals.
3. Maintain Body Temperature: Adequate water intake helps regulate body temperature. Even in cooler months, horses need to stay well-hydrated to combat chills and maintain their energy levels.
4. Promote Healthy Circulation: Water is essential for good blood circulation. Staying hydrated supports overall bodily functions and keeps your horse feeling energetic and alert.
5. Prevent Colic: Insufficient water intake can contribute to digestive issues such as colic. Keeping your horse hydrated can help prevent these painful conditions.

As horse owners, it’s our responsibility to ensure our equine friends have access to fresh, clean water at all times, even as temperatures drop. Let’s keep them healthy and happy this winter! ❤️🐴

Don't freak out about sun bleaching, especially if it's just on one side or a teeny spot. Hay from airy places like Idaho, Utah, or Arizona often gets stored in sunlight or with exposed sides, no worries about rain ruining the party. The bleaching doesn't mess with the quality of the hay 1/4 inch beneath the surface, since the protein content stays above 20%.

We have ONE block left in ONE day, can you believe that?! Claim it now and feel free to preorder your specific hay needs for our semi next week 🌾🌾🌾💚

How many geldings does it take to eat one flake of alfalfa? 😂

All horses here get extra hay when temps drop below freezing! Warm ponies are happy ponies! 🥰

The cold snap is coming next week! Extra hay keeps horses warm in cold weather!🐴❄️ Most 1,000 pound horses will easily eat 25-30 pounds of hay per 24 hours when temps drop around 32*F. To avoid overeating and to prevent stomach ulcers, use a slow feeder hay bag or net. Make sure to give sensitive tummies a preventative dose of ulcergard or gastrogard 🫶🏼
