Concentrates exist to fill the gaps your horse’s workload creates — in theory, that’s exactly what they should do. In practice, most local feed labels don’t list their actual ingredients, just the nutritional breakdown. Which means you can see the minerals on paper but have no idea what they’re actually made from.

That matters more than it sounds. Big feed companies often rely on fillers and low-cost ingredients to hit the numbers — and “low NSC” or “cool energy” marketing doesn’t guarantee it’s clean. In South Africa specifically, even brands with guaranteed ingredient lists have gaps (no anti-inflammatory option, no batch-specific guarantees).

The fix isn’t ditching concentrates out of fear — it’s understanding what’s actually in your horse’s bucket, and building a diet around forage first, supplementing with intention rather than habit. That’s the shift that changed things for my own horses — more regulated, fewer surprises as the seasons change.

This is exactly the kind of detail Audrey Christie gets into. If feed labels have ever left you with more questions than answers, this call is for you.

No grass, short grass, long grass — they’re not all created equal, and the right answer depends entirely on your horse and your setup.

No grass works well within a track system where horses can still move and forage, but needs careful supplementation so they’re not filling the gap by eating sand.

Short grass is the one to watch — under 5cm, the grass is stressed and pumping out sugar, which is the opposite of what you want for a metabolic horse. Keep them off it if you can.

Long grass (30cm+) is generally the better option — less sugar, more fibre — but it still needs monitoring, especially with horses who haven’t had regular access and tend to gorge.

This is exactly the kind of practical detail we’ll be getting into with Audrey Christie on 1 July. Forage isn’t one-size-fits-all, and most of us were never taught the nuance.

First Zoom Session is locked in. We’re going live with Audrey Christie on 1 July to talk forage, minerals, and what’s actually going on with your horse’s gut.

Mineral balance, how much forage your horse actually needs, why so many gut and inflammation issues trace straight back to feeding — Audrey makes it make sense, not overwhelming.

Lunging is often used as a warm-up. Or to take the edge off before a ride.

But done with the right alignment, it's one of the most precise training tools you have — because it removes you from the equation entirely.

Without a rider to compensate for, the horse has to solve its own balance. They learn to bend, coordinate, and carry themselves by themselves.

By the time you get on, the work is already within their body. The horse is strong enough to do the job of carrying you and supporting themselves.

The difference between lunging to tire a horse and lunging to develop one is understanding what the angles are doing and why they matter.

That's exactly what the 13 June clinic with Simon Cocozza covers.
