What to feed you horse in the cold spell
Feeding your horse during the colder weather
Olivia Fraser, one of our Nutritional Advisors, offers some seasonal advice
With all of the cold weather we have had recently, horses are still stabled for longer periods as the grass quality remains low and with this, excitable horses can become stressed.
Winergy Equilibrium is the perfect choice of feed for any horse as its unique combination of fibres and controlled levels of starch have been proven to increase fibre intake at this time - maximising digestive health whilst its high levels of oil and quality proteins will give calories for condition without excitability.
Winergy Equilibrium horse feeds are complete and when fed alongside hay or haylage, will provide your horse with everything it needs for all round good health and well being. Studies have shown that it also prolongs eating time helping to combat boredom in stabled horses.
It is important to remember that fibre is an essential part of a horses diet as along with its multiple health benefits, the process of fibre digestion produces heat, which effectively acts as the horse’s own ‘central heating system’ keeping it warm during the winter months.
