Mutual grooming is so important for horses, and Emma and Gym love to groom each other over the fence 🥰
This is why it's so important that horses be house at the very least within touching distance of other horses, when not able to be housed together.

Ration Balancers

What is a ration balancer?
Think of eating a protein bar that has your daily amount of vitamins, minerals and protein in a small portion.

Ration Balancers are designed to be fed at a low feeding rates, meaning usually 1-3 lbs. maximum. Balancers are typically pelleted feeds, and include most of your horse's daily basics. Ration Balancers are excellent for horses who need low calorie diets, horses needing low grain & low nsc diets, horses who are over conditioned, and those who are doing excellent on forage alone but need daily vitamin/minerals/amino acids guaranteed.

What Ration Balancers are often missing are calories and fat, which can leave some horses needing more. In many cases you can add Ration Balancer to other diets, for instance a horse who needs more calories than a Balancer provides can have a Performance or Complete feed added on at a lower feeding rate than is typically recommended- where the balancer acts as the main vitamin/mineral/protein source and the other grain acts as extra fat and calories, plus extra digestible nutrition. This can be especially important for older horses, horses with poor teeth, horses with weight difficulty, and more.

Next we'll get into complete feeds, and how they can be fed alone AND with a balancer!

It's Fall Shot Season, which means it's a great time to get f***l testing done with your vet! 💩

In some areas we are beginning to get frost 🥶
It is recommended to use a dewormer (ideally ones targeting bots and tapeworms) after the first hard frost of the season. Last year it was late, this year at my farm we've already had ours 🧊

Pictured you can see my collected manure sample before I packaged it up to take to my vet to ship out. I usually do f***ls twice a year around deworming time.

Something to remember when taking your sample is it must be fresh, and can usually be refrigerated no more than 24 hours prior to send off if it does need to be stored, but of course check with your individual testing office!

Keeping tabs on f***l counts and sticking to a vet-reviewed deworming schedule are an important part of keeping your horse healthy all year long!
