Did you know Volatile fatty acids (VFAs) from quality fibre can supply up to 70% of the daily energy needs of a mature horse? Here's why it's such a good energy source...

🌿Horses evolved grazing pasture for 16-18 hours a day and their digestive system is engineered to process that fibre, converting it into energy through fermentation.

🌿When fibre reaches the hindgut, billions of beneficial microbes ferment it and produce volatile fatty acids (VFAs), which are absorbed and used as energy.

🌿The VFAs produced from fibre fermentation (acetate, propionate and butyrate) each play important roles in the horse’s body, providing slow-release energy, supporting glucose production and even helping maintain healthy hindgut cells.

🌿Fibre fermentation doesn't just produce VFA's, it also produces important nutrients like B group vitamins (including biotin) and vitamin K.

🌿The more quality fibre they eat, the stronger their gut microbiome gets, which means more fermentation, more VFA production, and more usable nutrients from every bite.

QUALITY MATTERS!
🏆Quality fibre sources are highly digestible and more efficiently fermented by microbes to produce a greater amount of nutrients. These include quality pasture and hay, lupin hulls, beet pulp and soy hulls.

👎Poor quality sources are high in indigestible fibre or lignin, which microbes can't break down and extract nutrients from. Examples include overly mature or stalky hays or pastures.

⚡Other energy sources matter too:
Starches, sugars and fats also play important roles in fuelling different metabolic pathways. Depending on your horse’s workload, condition, life stage and energy demands, these energy sources can help support performance, rapid energy availability, weight gain and athletic output, but should always be added to suit your individual horse's needs.

If you're looking for additional quality fibre, try adding Lupin Fibre Cubes or Lupin Fibre Boost to your horse's diet.

Some amazing results from sponsored riders Maddie Cooke and Britt Reside at the SHC Classic yesterday, earning Golden Tickets for Grand Nationals.

Maddie rode 3 horses for 3 Golden Tickets! Pictured here with Petite L’Etoile owned by Fiona Whife, winning the Champion Child’s Small Open Hack. Petite L’Etoile is fuelled by Claytons Pellets.

Britt rode her and Caris’s home bred LP Catwalk to Champion Large Show Galloway with a unanimous decision, as well as carrying Britt to Champion Rider over 30.

❄️ Did you know horses often drink less water in cold weather?
So, even though the weather is getting cooler, dehydration is still a risk! Why?

💧Cooler weather can reduce their voluntary water intake.

💧When water temperature is too cold, it significantly decreases their intake. Have you ever tried plunging your hand into freezing water? Research has shown that when water temperature is increased, they can increase intake by around 40%.
🌡️ The suggested temperature is between 10-18°C

💧They’re still exercising, training...and sweating! This increases their daily water requirements.

💧If they’re eating more dry hay (they need plenty of hay to help them stay healthy, warm and conditioned during winter), they actually need more water, than a horse on pasture alone. If their hay intake is increasing, so should their water intake to avoid the content of the hindgut getting too dry which increases the risk of impaction colic.

💧They’re not getting enough salt which is needed for electrolyte balance and the thirst reflex. In a recent study, more than half of the horses weren’t receiving the required amount of salt voluntarily. This means you may need to add salt or electrolytes.

HYDRATION TIPS:
💡Keep your eye on their water consumption. If you’re worried, avoid automatic waterers and use troughs and buckets that you can use to monitor intake.

💡Keep water temperature between 10-18°C.

💡Include a wet fibre mash like Lupin Fibre Boost or Lupin Fibre Cubes in their daily feeds, to add extra water.

💡Use Equi-Restore to add and balance vital electrolytes while increasing their water intake. It’s highly palatable so encourages them to drink.

Equi-Restore is an all-round recovery supplement that helps with hydration and also offers BCAA’s, Omega-3, antioxidants and Actigen for a range of health benefits.
