There's nothing quite like the unique love of a horse.
Their gentle nuzzle and warm breath can heal the deepest wounds and lift the heaviest spirits. Each moment spent with them is a reminder that true connection transcends words.
They teach us loyalty, patience, and the beauty of living in the moment.

And ohh, that smell.
Is there anything better than burying your face in the mane of a horse?

Bendigo & Surrounds Equine Community, Thank you.

Saddleworld Bendigo & Shepparton, Thank you.

Thank you for making Black Horse Naturals one of the most popular gut supportive feeds in the area, and thank you for putting your horse’s gut health as a priority.

It’s often what we don’t see that matters the most, and a healthy gut and digestive system that houses trillions of bacteria is key to your horse’s overall health, performance and behaviour.

Stacked high and flying out the door at Saddleworld Shepparton & Bendigo !

With yet another early frost ahead of us Victorian’s tomorrow, there is a significant amount of stress on pasture.
After a frost, grass can undergo several changes:

🍁 Physical Damage - Frost can cause ice crystals to form within the plant cells, leading to cell rupture. This results in brown, wilted, or crunchy grass.

🍁 Reduced Nutritional Value - Frost-damaged grass often loses its palatability and nutritional content, making it less beneficial for grazing animals.

🍁 Delayed Growth - It may take time for grass to recover, as growth slows significantly. Initially, grasses lose some green color and vigor, delaying the regrowth process.

🍁 Potential for Disease - Damaged grass is more susceptible to diseases and pests, which can further hinder recovery.

🍁 Regrowth - With proper conditions (warmth, moisture, and no further frost), grass can bounce back, producing new growth but may result in high toxins and sugars.

Overall, the health and recovery of grass post-frost depend on factors such as grass type, weather conditions, and overall pasture management.
Including a gut support feed, such as Gut Align or Harmony Plus may assist in mitigating these challenges.

Horses are monogastric (single stomach) hind gut fermenters with their digestive tract designed to eat hay, grass and forage over long periods of the day.

Unlike ruminants, their single-chamber stomach processes small amounts of food efficiently.

A healthy gut microbiome plays a crucial role in this process, housing trillions of beneficial bacteria that aid digestion.
These microbes help break down fibrous materials, making nutrients more accessible and supporting overall gut health.

It is the beneficial bacteria in the hind gut that ferment fibre and produce volatile fatty acids, that the horse then uses to meet a large amount of its energy requirements, in addition to producing volatile fatty acids, these bacteria also assist in providing essential vitamins, such as biotin, B group vitamins and Vitamin K.

Maintaining a balanced diet rich in fibre ensures a thriving microbiome, which is essential for your horse's health and performance!

Harmony Plus and Gut Align contain Pre and Probiotics, a mycotoxin binder and hind gut buffer in a cost effective and science supported formula to assist in a symbiotic approach to your horses digestive health.

Hay there!

We are taking Equine gut health back to basics, and what better place to start than with HAY!

Eating hay is essential for a horse's digestive health because it stimulates saliva production.
The chewing process releases saliva, which helps buffer stomach acid and maintain a stable pH in the gastrointestinal tract.

This is crucial for preventing gastric ulcers and promoting healthy digestion.

Additionally, hay provides necessary fibre, which aids in proper gut motility, nutrient absorption and overall digestive function.

Together, these factors contribute to a balanced and healthy digestive system in horses.

Are your foals growing up?
We know our little treasures are growing like weeds! 🌱

The Importance of Establishing Good Gut Health in Foals

Did you know that a foal's gut health is crucial for their overall wellbeing and development? Here are a few reasons why it's essential to focus on their digestive health early on:

▪️Foundation for Growth - A healthy gut supports proper nutrient absorption, which is vital for growth and development during their early months.

▪️Boosts Immunity - A balanced gut microbiome helps strengthen the immune system, making foals more resilient to illness.

▪️Prevents Colic - Good gut health can reduce the risk of gastrointestinal issues like colic, which is common in young horses.

▪️Promotes Healthy Behaviour - Proper digestion can lead to better mood and behavior, creating a well-rounded, happy foal.

▪️Long-Term Health - Establishing good gut health now can set the stage for a lifetime of well-being and performance.

By focusing on providing high quality hay and pasture, introducing pre and probiotics, and ensuring an stress-free environment will help give our foals the best start possible!
