✅️ FEEDING BY ‘SCOOP’ AND NOT BY WEIGHT
Do this instead –
• Weigh each of your different feeds as they do weigh different weights and calculate your horse’s daily intake by kg and not by scoop. Do a regular check on this.
• Also weigh the scoop when you feed and when your assistant feeds - as each person normally has a different weight. Some people feed heaped and some feed level.
✅️ BUYING A ‘SENIOR’ FEED BECAUSE IT IS ON THE LABLE
• Not all feed labeled ‘senior’ is necessarily the right feed for your horse.
• Consult with your nutritional advisor to determine exactly what your older horse needs before jumping to a more expensive senior feed that might not be right for him/her.
✅️ OVERESTIMATING HOW HARD YOUR HORSE ACTUALLY WORKS
• Feed according to workload and remember horses are designed to move constantly, roaming many kms a day. Not designed to stay in the small paddocks we must keep them in.
• Always factor in the environment when feeding. Season, live in/live out and size of paddocks.
✅️ OVERSUPPLEMNTING OR CHANGING SUPPLEMENTS CONSTANTLY
• Work with your nutritional advisor BEFORE supplementing. Our diets are fully fortified and contain all essential vitamins and minerals at optimal levels. By adding more, you can imbalance the levels we have carefully put together having a negative impact on your horse.
• Give a supplement at least 2-3 months to work before changing to a new supplement.
✅️ NOT ALLOWING A HORSE CONTINUAL FOOD SUPPLY
• Horses are designed to wander and graze constantly. You need to mimic this as close as possible to eliminate ulcers, behavioural issues and poor condition. Allow constant supply of hay and grazing throughout the day.
• Feed smaller meals more often for maximum absorption, eliminate the flow of undigested sugars and starches into the hindgut and alleviate boredom.

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL ATHLETES
There are a large number of horses presented at Competitions with irregular passports. One of the biggest concerns is the number of passports, which do not comply with the rules on Vaccination. The SAEF Veterinary Committee has therefore updated the AHS and Equine Influenza Vaccines Directive for your urgent attention. **Click on link below to read the full article.**

Please note the rules pertaining to the transfer of vaccine information into group IX passport. You can bring all passports with info into our clinics for transfer of the necessary information.
