e-Tip of the Week
Horses FeedingFood for Thought- Horse nutrition tips:

  1. Feed horses by their classification
  2. Horses need plenty of fresh water
  3. Feed according to body condition score (BCS)
  4. Don't scrimp on forage
  5. Avoid feeding large amounts of grain in a single feeding
  6. Feed by weight, not by volume
  7. Don't unbalance a balanced feed
  8. Make any dietary changes slowly
  9. Don't feed worms
Did you know...?
Did you know that horses may have a seemingly irrational fear of some smells, such as strong odors associated with pigs? The horse's range of smell is more acute than that of humans but less sensitive than that of dogs. They can identify the medicine in feed even when we attempt to mask it in tasty treats.

Horse Quote of the Week

He knows when you're happy
He knows when you're comfortable
He knows when you're confident
And he always knows when you have carrots.
