#tiptuesday - have you ever said, "My horse is too fat; he doesn't need feeding"? Feeding the good doer can be challenging, but here are 4 important things you need to remember...

❌ Avoid harsh feed restriction or very poor-quality diets. Good doers can't actually live off an oily rag, they still need to meet their daily requirements for protein, vitamins and minerals. Even a diet of only pasture or hay doesn't provide their full nutrient needs and can often be low in digestible fibre and protein, and result in deficiencies.

✅ Always make sure they are getting enough fibre, minimum 1.5-2% of their body weight daily. Getting enough fibre is vital for the function of their digestive system, and restricting access can cause damage to their digestive health. If pasture is too high in quality, you can restrict grazing and substitute with lower calorie hays. Watch out for low quality hays and straw, which can be too high in indigestible fibre.

✅ They need to meet their daily vitamin and mineral requirement for bone, skin, hoof and coat health, plus muscle and digestive function, immunity and more! Look for a complete, low-calorie feed that gives them the nutrients they need while promoting healthy weight.

✅ Keep high-quality proteins in their diet. If you are trying to reduce calorie intake, be careful not to restrict quality protein, which is essential for muscle, coat and hoof health. Protein is not a primary energy source for horses,

Our Lupin Fibre mash range is ideal for good doers:
🟢 Lupin Fibre Boost is a complete, low feeding rate fibre mash enriched with vitamins, minerals, pre and probiotics. Made from lupin hulls which are a highly digestible fibre source and rich in quality amino acids and proteins to promote health and function.

🟡Lupin Fibre Cubes is our low feeding rate fibre-supplement, made from 100% lupin hulls which can be fed in very low amounts to keep quality fibre and protein in their diet and used with a vitamin & mineral supplement for horses and ponies needing limited hard feeds but the nutrients they need to stay healthy.
