One reason I don’t like haynets.

SICK TO MY STOMACH....

This morning I walked in and found Jay had gotten his leg caught in the hay net.

I am SO thankful he is a level headed and did not panic. He was sweaty and trembling by the time I got to him, but standing quietly waiting for help. I immediately grabbed the knife and cut it down.

I stood there a long time with him. I just put my hands on him to let him know I was there, and let him know he was safe. He eventually sighed, his tummy started to gurgle, and he began to relax his face.

I felt horrible, yet relieved.

Situations like this remind me how much a horse’s ability to self-regulate matters. A frantic horse could have severely injured himself trying to escape because horses don’t rise to the occasion. They fall back on their nervous system patterns.

Today I was incredibly thankful for his brain and his trust. He was definitely waiting for me to free him. As soon as he heard me he whinnied...and it was a different whinny where I knew something was wrong.

Needless to say… the hay net setup is being reevaluated.

I ❤️ my big Bubba Boo.

A MESSAGE OF CONCERN

It is becoming more and more concerning how many horses I am seeing with pain, inflammation, soreness and more serious complications following treatment with electrotherapy (mostly PEMF) by unqualified people.

I’m not posting this to discredit anyone, I am simply posting this because I care about the animals.

Qualified practitioners have spent years gaining their knowledge and qualifications, and often this includes specific time training to use electrotherapy correctly.

There are occasions when electrotherapy should never be applied and can cause further damage or complications to an already existing condition. Likewise using the incorrect frequencies can lead to increased muscle soreness and inflammation.

I urge anyone trying to offer their horse the very best care to do their homework about a person applying electrotherapy. The industry is not regulated enough and therefore machine manufactures will sell a machine to anyone and they can use it however they wish.
Just because your trainer has a machine doesn’t mean they have the knowledge to use it. I’m qualified as a physio, it does not mean I can do your farriers job!

It is a rising concern amongst qualified professionals throughout the country, so please be careful and keep your horses safe. 🐴❤️

HORSES GET GOOD AT WHAT THEY PRACTICE

Your horse is a reflection of your standards...
Not your intentions.

Everyone wants a soft, well-trained, responsive horse. But wanting it and doing what it actually takes to produce one are two different things.

Horses don’t learn from what we mean to do with them… They learn from what we actually do with them and they learn from what we allow.

If you let them lean on the bit… they’ll keep leaning.

If you let them ignore or push on your leg… they’ll keep ignoring or pushing on it.

If you let them get used to you being distracted or inconsistent… they’ll never be as connected with you as you would like.

It’s not about being harsh. It’s about being consistent. It's about clear expectations. It's about consistently following through.

It's about trying your best every day you work with your horse. Not just on the days you feel like it.

Because the little things you let slide today…
Turn into the bigger problems that'll need fixing tomorrow.

Raise your standard with yourself...
Raise your standard with your training program...

Your horse will rise to meet it. It may not be right away. It will take longer with certain horses. But your horse will match your standards if you stay consistent and put in the work.

Your horse will get good at what they practice.
Good or bad.

You can't get upset at your horse for not delivering exactly what you want if you're only putting in half-ass effort. They are doing exactly as they have been trained to do.

Feeding horses in cold weather

When temperatures drop, your horse relies heavily on dietary fibre fermentation to generate internal heat. Understanding how different feeds contribute to this process allows you to feed more effectively through winter.

🔬 The concept of “heat waste”
During hindgut fermentation, fibre is broken down by microbes, producing energy in the form of volatile fatty acids — but also a significant amount of heat as a by-product.

Feeds such as lucerne hay, clover hay and cereal chaff can lose up to 70% of their energy as heat during digestion, making them highly effective for supporting warmth in cold conditions.

🔹 Why lucerne is a winter essential
Lucerne provides:
• Highly digestible fibre
• Quality protein for coat growth and metabolic function
• A strong thermogenic effect during fermentation

👉 Feeding lucerne hay at night helps sustain hindgut fermentation overnight — effectively acting as an internal heater during the coldest hours.

🔹 Balancing forage and concentrates
In cold, wet or windy weather — or when horses are losing condition — additional energy may be required.

A combination of chaff and oats for horses who do not suffer metabolic issues is particularly effective because:
• Oats contain ~10% fibre
• They produce around 30% heat waste, higher than corn or barley (~20%)
• They provide a safer, more balanced energy source when combined with fibre

🔹 The role of fibre-based concentrates for sugar sensitive horses
Where additional energy is required beyond forage, low sugar fibre-based hard feeds provide a safer energy source when compared to high-starch grains.

✔️ During very cold or wet conditions (when daytime temperatures remain below 10°C), a mix of 50:50 lucerne chaff and oats can be fed at approximately 500g per 100kg bodyweight, in addition to hay, to help meet increased energy and heat production demands.

🔹 Feed management matters
Avoid feeding large amounts of concentrates (such as oats or pellets) to hungry, cold horses. Rapid intake can increase the risk of choke, digestive upset and colic.

👉 A better approach is to offer dampened hay first to slow intake and partially satisfy appetite, then follow with a measured concentrate feed.

🔹 How much hay is enough?
On sparse winter pasture, feeding hay at approximately 1–1.5kg per 100kg bodyweight will generally maintain condition — provided the hay is good quality and leafy.

Using a hay rack or feeder can also reduce wastage and ensure consistent intake.

💡 Key takeaway:
Winter feeding isn’t just about increasing volume — it’s about choosing feeds that maximise fibre fermentation and heat production while managing intake to protect digestive health.

If your horse is dropping weight or you’re unsure how to structure their winter ration, we can help you fine-tune a feeding program to suit their individual needs.

We’ve been very busy behind the scenes, with the impending Rocky floods, was great to be able to help out a few local race horse trainers and their horses, especially as we are high and dry here.
We have 2 horse paddocks, ripped, cleaned and preped ready to seed with Rhodes grass, to ensure plenty of grass all year round for our horses here. And also adding another variety of rhodes to our cutting/ grazing paddock to trial another variety.
We still have availability in our 60 acre paddock for agistment, there is only a couple of horses and a couple of cattle in there at the moment so plenty of feed, shade and auto water, and limited availability for individual paddocks, or happy to put you on our wait list.
