Who else is feeling this? You feed the horses their feed with the expensive supplements and salt and they tip it on the ground and eat it from there 🤷🏼‍♀️

I was thinking to myself as I was feeding my horses this morning, “if I could talk to every horse owner in the world, for just one minute, what would I tell them? What is the one piece of information that would make the biggest positive difference to their horse’s life?”

And this is what it would be… NEVER ride your horse on an empty stomach. Or said another way, always feed your horse hay or let him graze pasture right before you ride.

Because for us, as humans, to exercise on a full stomach is really uncomfortable right?!

We feel sluggish. We get a stitch. And it is just downright uncomfortable.

So why on earth would I say to make sure your horse has a full stomach before you ride?

Well, the thing is, horses and humans are completely different in the way we eat and in the way our stomach works.

We (humans) are meal feeders. We eat food in distinct meals. While we eat, our stomach switches on acid production. Then when we stop eating, acid production is switched off.

So we can go for a really long time (like overnight) without eating and it’s not an issue. And yes, it's more comfortable, for us, to exercise on an empty stomach.

Horses on the other hand are grazers, or trickle feeders. They are designed to eat almost constantly over a 24-hour period. And will take only very short (less than 2 to 3 hour) breaks between feeding if left to feed naturally.

Because of this, their stomach NEVER switches off acid production. And this is why you must not ride on an empty stomach.

For a guide on how much to feed before you ride, here's a table of suggested amounts of hay, depending on your horse’s situation.

⚠️ MAJOR SNOW EVENT TAKES AIM.

It's the calm before the rain and snow today, with milder and pleasant conditions across the region currently.

Our complex slow moving low is gradually moving closer and is set to 'feed' in a prolonged period of heavy snow & rain across the region.

The more widespread and heavier rain and snow will set in during Saturday morning and continue until middle stages of Sunday.

At lower elevations below 300m heavy rain is likely to cause surface flooding in many low lying areas; higher chance south of around Ashburton.

❄ At this stage parts of South & Mid Canterbury look most exposed to the heavier rain & snow, where over half a meter may fall above 700m with lighter accumulations now possible to 300m. Lake Tekapo may experience one of it's more significant snow events in recent times; depending on the 'stall' and 'feed' zone on Saturday and early Sunday.

We can expect widespread road closures, power disruptions and many higher villages and areas may be cut off over the weekend. Heavy snow will cause stress to livestock; especially about the hill country of South & Mid Canterbury.

📌 KEY TIP - Questions? Uncertain? Source your town page for specific details. This system will 'play' out differently across the region. Some areas and towns will escape with lighter falls, while many higher villages in South & Mid Canterbury will experience heavy snow. Snow is not currently forecast below 300m; for many towns and areas we can expect heavy & sustained rain; higher risk south of Ashburton.

📍 All our town pages, warnings and 'Live Weather Feed' will be updated through the afternoon & evening with all the latest details.

➡️ Please 'Share' and keep up to date @ www.cwu.co.nz for all the latest information.
