Meet the broodmare team with #sponsoredrider @jodi.dunlop11. From recip mares to their young stock horses, Jodi`s found a great solution in Horse Grower Weaner Pellets to complement their improved pastures and make sure the girls are getting the nutrients they need as they get ready for lactation.

Spring has sprung with challenges for horse owners! Here are 5 of the top challenges it can present...
🌺High NSC in pastures = laminitis risk
This is a big risk factor for horses and ponies prone to laminitis, EMS, PPID or metabolic conditions. The NSC levels (which can cause dangerous insulin spikes in affected horses) tend to be very high in the fresh new growth coming through, especially in short pastures. With our wet winter this year, pastures are likely to be even more risky. For these horses or ponies, start managing and restricting grazing carefully now. Just make sure you provide enough low sugar and starch hay and feed to meet their daily requirements.
🌺Changes in behaviour:
The fresh, new grass growth is sweet and full of energy, but spring grass isn`t just higher in NSC, it also has a big spike in potassium and nitrogen, with a salt deficit that could cause mineral imbalances in your horse, especially a deficiency in magnesium and sodium.
🌺Mares:
Spring can be a rollercoaster for some mares. Some may take it all in their stride, and others can become more spooky, sensitive, stroppy or cranky! Why? Increasing daylight hours trigger mares to start cycling reproductively again, and their hormones can be a bit erratic as a result. The flush of spring grass can also impact them with the increases in starch and sugars and potential mineral imbalances.
🌺Weight and BCS:
The fresh green pasture is higher in energy and nutrients which may not only impact your horse`s behaviour - but their weight too! Now is the time to check in on their Body Condition Score, and you may need to reassess their diet and keep a close eye on their energy intake isn`t exceeding their needs.
🌺SHEDDING!
We`ve all been there - covered in hair during spring moulting! It can challenge our grooming kit, our clothes and our washing machines. But moulting is really important and so is skin health during this time. Keep a regular grooming schedule to help remove loose hair, stimulate oils and bonus...your horse will love it.

Did you know that a 550kg broodmare can produce between 11 and 22kg of milk per day in the first three months of lactation?
A broodmare will produce milk at a rate of 2-4% of her bodyweight per day. She not only produces a lot of milk, but it is very rich in energy, proteins (amino acids), calcium, phosphorus & vitamins.
During early lactation a broodmare needs:
✅ Between 50-70% more water than usual
✅ Plenty of quality pasture or hay
✅ Enough of a concentrated feed that is rich in good proteins, fats and vitamins and minerals.
✅ For additional support a fibre mash like Lupin Fibre Cubes can add extra low sugar and starch energy and quality amino acids while keeping her gut healthy.
Offer her a quality, stud feed designed to support her requirements like Horse Grower Weaner Pellets, or Calm Care Plus for mares needing a low sugar and starch option.

"We love that the T&R Grower Weaner Pellets have been made with the nutritional requirements of growing and breeding horses in mind.
All of our broodmares, stallions and young stock are on this feed. The reliable, high-protein formula has added vitamins and minerals to support the correct muscle and bone formation, as well as good milk production in mares. We also like that it is made fresh using local raw materials, thereby supporting WA farmers.”
"At Valley Equine Vet Centre we choose T&R feeds for their reliably excellent quality and freshness that comes with a locally made product. The convenience of already added salt, vitamins and minerals in the Horse weaner and grower pellet saves us time in our busy hospital.
Our recip mares are thriving and all looking fantastic!
Thank you Thompson and Redwood.

“I have used T&R equine products for my horses and foals for many years. Over this time, I have used the T&R Horse Pellets and Horse Grower Weaner depending on their needs. My Arab endurance horse (who also does the Anzac march here in town every year) holds a great top line and dapples on the horse pellets. All my horses have always held their conditioning beautifully and a nice shine to their coats on these products.”
