FITNESS - 6 Tips for optimising your horse`s fitness this year...
Are you bringing your horse back in from spell? Or increasing their workload ready for the coming season? Here are some tips to make the preparation successful:
📃 Set out your goals and plans for the season. Look at when your first event is, and work back from their to help create your program and timeline.
📃Make a horse health checklist - record their vital signs to get a baseline, book any health checks they need.
🔍 Assess their weight and condition - start with body condition scoring them, how is their weight after their spell? Their diet from last year might not be the right diet for them this year and you may need to adjust it depending on whether they need to gain or lose weight.
⚖️ Write down their current rations, rebalance it with their feed, hay and pasture and check that it fits with their fitness and health goals. It`s a good opportunity to make changes while they are not in competition work, and you can use our free FeedSmart Diet tool to help you make sure they are getting the right nutrients, amounts and roughage >> https://thompsonandredwood.com.au/equine/feedsmart-horse-diet-calculator
⌛Adjust Feeds slowly - Whether it`s adjusting rates or re-introducing hard feed, make sure you do it slowly to avoid gastric upsets or energy excess.
🐎 Avoid working them beyond their fitness level: like us, they need time to build their fitness again after a break, so work should be increased slowly.
And ENJOY THE RIDE!

☀️ Summer and spelling feeds, we`ve got you covered...
Hot weather, dry paddocks and lighter workloads can mean your horse`s diet may need some adjustment over the summer months:
💦 Feeding a mash can aid with hydration over the hotter months - go for one of our fibre mashes or add some of our new Equi-Restore to keep electrolytes up and encourage them to drink.
⚖️ If you are scaling back feed, make sure they are still getting the protein, vitamins and minerals they need to prevent deficiencies.
🔥If they`re not in work or workload is decreasing, you may need to adjust the calories and energy in their diet.
🌾 Pastures decrease in nutrients and protein over the course of summer, so make sure they are getting enough roughage and fibre.
🏆 Avoid slips in condition. It is easier to maintain condition, than to let them slip and need to add condition back on.
⚖️Need to readjust feeds? Try our FeedSmart Diet Calculator, a free tool powered by FeedXL to check your horse`s diet or build them something new.
Our feed picks for summer offer something for every horse or pony, to keep them in healthy and ready for the New Year.

Throw back to our epic pink jump at Equestrian in the Park with Dani and Mike from Oakford Equestrian Centre. We were so excited to see so many riders taking advantage of Equi-Restore to help with their horse`s preparation and recovery.
Thanks to @alchemy_theagency for the great shot.

10 things you need to know about water for horses...
Did you know the MOST important nutrient in our horse`s diet is water? Water is involved in every aspect of function and health, and exists in a finely balanced system, which needs constant replenishment.
💧 A horse is made up of 70% water, and water is needed to make up the various cells in the body from their hoof wall to their eyes, as well as vital substances like blood, saliva, mucous and enzymes.
💧 Water is needed to break down forage in the hind gut. If they are not getting enough water, the fibre in the hindgut can dry out too much and lead to issues like impaction colic.
💧 Water carries the nutrients and chemicals produced during digestion and fermentation across the gut lining for use in the body
