🥳Huge congratulations to the SRUC Equestrian Club team, proudly sponsored by Norvite Farm and Country, on their recent success at the Nationals. The team placed third overall, with a 4th for dressage and 3rd for showjumping! Individually, Laura Patterson won overall, placing 3rd in the dressage and 2nd in the showjumping.

Evie McLean-Yuille and Laura went on to be selected to compete in the GB Squad at the Student Riders Home International.
The team were very grateful for their brilliant, branded EQUIDRY jackets to keep them smart and dry on the showjumping day.

Well done to all involved and best of luck for the home international this weekend!

🐎NEW NORVITE EQUINE NUTRITION PRODUCT!🐎

🔥 It’s getting hot out there… so use an electrolyte! 🔥
As temperatures rise, your horse loses essential salts and minerals through sweat – these need to be replaced to support health, hydration and performance.
Equine sweat is hypertonic, meaning horses lose high levels of sodium, potassium, chloride and magnesium - nutrients that forage alone simply can’t replace.

💧 Why electrolytes matter:
• Hydration – Sodium helps trigger your horse’s thirst response. Without enough, a dehydrated horse may not drink sufficient water to recover properly.
• Muscle & Nerve Function – Electrolytes are vital for nerve signals and muscle contractions.

🐎 When should you supplement?
• Workload – Horses in light work may maintain balance with salt licks, but those in moderate to heavy work or competing often need daily or targeted electrolyte support.
• Weather & Travel – Sweating doesn’t just happen during exercise. Hot weather, transport and even winter work or over-rugging can lead to electrolyte loss.
• Diet Limitations – Forage and commercial feeds may not provide the ideal salt balance needed after sweating.

Keep your horse hydrated, balanced and performing at their best this season with Norvite Equine Nutrition ElectroVite ☀️💦

Looking to help your horse gain weight safely and effectively? 🐴✨

Adding oil to your horse’s diet is a simple, powerful way to boost calories without the downsides of sugar- and starch-laden high-cereal feeds.

Here’s why oil is a game-changer, especially for “poor doers” or horses with specific health needs:

🌾Highly Concentrated Calories
Oil contains around 2.5x more digestible energy than the same weight of oats. This means you can increase calorie intake without increasing meal size - perfect for horses with smaller appetites.

😎“Cool” Energy - No Fizzy Behaviour
Unlike starch- and sugar-heavy cereal feeds that can lead to excitable behaviour, fat provides slow-release energy. The result? Calm, steady condition gain without the heat.

🍬Sugar & Starch Free + Digestive Friendly
Oil is completely sugar and starch free, making it a safer option for horses prone to laminitis, colic, gastric ulcers, or other digestive sensitivities. It is digested in the small intestine, which also reduces the risk of hindgut acidosis linked to large grain meals.

✨Supports Coat, Skin & Overall Health
Oils supply essential fatty acids (Omega-3 and Omega-6) which horses can’t produce themselves. These support immune function, skin health and help create that healthy, glossy coat we all love.

💪Helpful for Certain Muscle Conditions
Higher-fat diets can support horses with muscle disorders such as tying-up syndrome by providing energy without relying on high starch levels.
When introduced gradually and fed correctly, oil can be a safe, effective addition to your feeding program - delivering condition, shine and balanced energy.

🌱Does restricting grass really matter that much?
Horses can eat a full a 24 hours’ worth of their recommended intake in just 8 hours of turnout.

Here’s what that actually looks like:
⚖ The average horse can consume 2.25 - 4.5 kg of fresh grass per hour
⏰Over 8 hours of grazing, that equals 3.6 - 7.2 kg of dry matter
⚠Depending on grass sugar levels, that can mean up to 1.65 kg of sugar in a single day from turnout alone!

That’s a LOT of sugar from “just grass”…

Managing Turnout Smartly
🌱Grazing muzzles can reduce grass intake by up to 80%.
🌱Heavily grazed pastures create stressed grass and stressed grass can contain more sugar per kg than longer grass or preserved forage.
🌱Turnout is important for mental and physical wellbeing, but it’s not always “low risk” when it comes to sugar intake.
🌱Balancing grass access, pasture management and the needs of each individual horse makes all the difference - especially for good doers or those prone to laminitis.

Smart grazing = healthier horses
