Fiber is an essential part of every horse’s diet.

Feeding a minimum of 1 percent body weight in forage per day (dry matter basis) is recommended to supply adequate levels of fiber required for proper gut function. Horses grazing good-quality pasture and/or provided ample access to hay generally have no problem meeting this minimum requirement. However, there are times when good hay is hard to find due to severe drought or other weather patterns.

During a hay shortage, hay quality tends to decline along with supply. If affordable, good-quality hay cannot be found locally, it may be possible to source it from outside the region. Another option is to use forage alternatives, which are high-fiber feeds that can safely be substituted for the forage component of a horse’s diet. These feeds can be used to either stretch the available hay supply or completely replace it if necessary.

How to Choose the Right Fertilizer.

A soil test will help determine which nutrients are missing if you see any symptoms. For instance, if your roses have grown lots of leaves but aren't pushing out many blooms, try adding fertilizer with higher P to boost flower production but lower N, which stimulates leaf growth. The numbers on the fertilizer label show the percentage of a nutrient in terms of the total volume in the fertilizer. So, a bag that says 12-6-10 means that it has 12% nitrogen, 6% phosphorus, and 10% potassium. You can give a plant a nudge in the direction you want it to grow by increasing one of the primary nutrients.
Many plants require a balanced fertilizer. A balanced number of 20-20-20 indicates the fertilizer has the same concentration of all three, and twice as much concentration of one that has 10-10-10.

Shop Hamilton's of Ortonville, 465 Mill Street, downtown for fertilizers.
