While we are all looking forward to warm spring days and lush green pasture, the transition from winter hay to spring grass should be planned carefully to mitigate any health risks to your equine. In other words — just because your equine friend is not obese or suffering from a nutritionally related disease, doesn’t mean you should just forget about hay entirely and let your horse eat their fill of spring grass.

Feeding high-quality hay is a good way to satisfy a horse’s urge to chew when they can’t graze and provide essential nutrients at the same time. A mature horse will eat 2-2.5% of its body weight per day; roughage should contribute to at least half of this percentage, but most agree forage should be a minimum of 75% of the horse's diet. Please remember that not all horses are made equal, so a horse's total nutritive requirements will ultimately depend on the individual's age, stage of development, metabolism and workload.

Take-home message: Before making any changes to your equine companion's diet this spring, consult your veterinarian to determine their current weight/body condition score and to formulate a balanced and nutritious ration that meets your horse’s specific nutritional needs!

Young Swedish Eventer and Her Trusty Pony Capture Our Hearts

🥰 ❣ 💓 ❥ 💑 💜🥰 ❣ 💓 ❥ 💑 💜

You may have encountered this image circulating on social media recently — a small black pony with a fluffy mane, munching on grass, as he leaps onto an embankment that is at least twice his height, with his young rider displaying focus and determination.

Who are this adventurous pair that has won our affection?

This is 5-year-old Edwina and her horse, Tusseman, a 14-year-old cross between an American Miniature Horse and a Shetland Pony.



In a quiet countryside town, a remarkable friendship has blossomed between 5-year-old Edwina and her trusted steed, Tusseman. Tusseman, a 14-year-old American Miniature Horse/Shetland Pony cross, may be small in stature, but his presence in Edwina’s life is immeasurable.

From the moment they met, it was clear that Edwina and Tusseman were meant to be companions. Her tiny hands eagerly reached out to stroke his velvety nose, and he responded with a gentle nuzzle, sealing their instant connection. Since that day, the duo has been inseparable, exploring the world together in the way only a child and her pony can.

Edwina spends hours each day brushing Tusseman’s thick mane and tiny hooves, chatting away about her dreams and adventures. Tusseman, ever patient, listens intently, flicking his ears as if in response. They venture through meadows, race along dirt paths, and play pretend games where Edwina is a brave knight and Tusseman her fearless charger. His small but sturdy frame makes him the perfect companion for her wildest imaginings.

Beyond the games and fun, their bond has instilled valuable lessons in both trust and responsibility. Edwina has learned to care for her four-legged friend, understanding the importance of feeding, grooming, and ensuring his comfort. Tusseman, in return, provides her with unconditional love and the steadfast loyalty only a pony can offer.

Their story is a testament to the incredible connections that can form between children and their ponies. As Edwina grows, Tusseman will always be her first steed, the one who taught her to trust, to dream, and to love unconditionally. Their adventures are just beginning, and their unbreakable bond will remain a cherished tale for years to come.
