This was great, I love seeing people with a platform such as yourself advocating for a simpler, more natural diet, it could be beneficial to so many horses out there. I've stripped my horses diet back to grass nuts, chaff, balancer and linseed almost a year ago and it's the best he's felt and looked in a while

Loved it! So glad that you care so much to give them only what they actually need. Also, happy to hear that they can basically free graze on either grass or hay 24/7, as they would in nature. They produce 2 big buckets of gastric acid per day! So for those feeding only once a day, please research more - no wonder so many 🐴 develop ulcers. Great explanation!

Love this ! Ad lib grass or hay is so important . I had my gelding on agistment and he was in a small paddock and I kept requesting more hay and they basically refused . He ended up bucking under saddle etc I assume due to ulcers . I now have him home with me . Although no facilities he is sooo much happier in a big grassy 2 acres to himself with all the grass he can eat . He gets a small feed of lucerne pellets and some supplements . The agistment place basically labeled my horse as a problem horse lol and he’s the most sweet horse ever . So nutrition definitely makes a difference and ad lib is so important can’t say it enough

HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU ALL CHECK OUT FEEDXL. There is a website program called FeedXL it was created by a team of vets and equine nutritionists and its specifically designed to take the guesswork out of creating a balanced diet and worrying about deficiencies (or overdosing), you just input the feed that you give your horse- like hay, pellets, supplements, how much time it spends eating grass, etc- and then it gives you a breakdown of the nutrition. So you can work out if your horse is deficient in anything or if you're overfeeding them something like crude protein for example. The majority of horses have deficiencies or overfeeding of certain things in their diet which can cause them to have gut issues/behavioural issues or general lack of performance. Here in Australia for example we have very little iodine in the soils/grass/hays so by putting that info in the program it lets you know how many MG of iodine you need to add to the diet for the horse to have its recommended daily intake requirement met.

Hi Miri! Have you ever tried Farnam's 'Rain Maker' hoof treatment? I had an OTTB with OK hooves, but not great. During really dry, or even wet months - I brushed on almost daily, made a huge difference. The Farrier was shocked & impressed because he always had used almost a hoof (nail) varnish, like a clear coat. It was not good for him. I finally went opposite & did a moisturizing trial. I used Rain Maker & it worked miracles. Instead of chipping, the hoof was more flexible & stopped chipping completely! It's kind of like using 'Barielle' moisturizer for human nails! Barielle was modified from a moisturizer French grooms were using on their horse's hooves & noticed their own nails grew faster, stronger & stopped breaking. Esp. good in summer if they stomp during fly season. PS: No - I don't work for Rain Maker or Barielle 😁

Just one question, as I'm in the US, are pony nuts what we call hay stretcher? Anyone know haha

Pink mash is a new one to me but it looks fabulous. What's your opinion on feeding oats? I was taught by a very old school BHS instructor who had the same philosophy as you but she based her horses' diet around as much good hay as they'd eat, rolled, soaked oats, (old fashioned - it was twenty years ago) sugar beet and linseed. She was also a huge advocate for horses getting some grass each day, even if you just walked them out to graze.
@hackettequine2059
@hackettequine2059 3 жыл бұрын
There are benefits to oats but also troubles such as too much energy so negative behaviours. You also have to feed huge quantities of oats for the nutritional benefits which I don’t feel is very practical. We have come along way since those days and many modern feeds have been developed in place of feeding straights.

hallo lovely, i like how pragmatic and down to earth you are. also appreciate the consideration you give to the animals, enjoyed the training videos and your kindness to both animal and rider! after watching the feeding videos i want to start going that direction for my F 18 year old cushings/lamenitic pony. the main complication is i live in california (which really makes the terminology confusing, no one seems to know what "chaff" is). the feed in the US is atrocious and i think is mostly what's lead to her health problems. instinctfully i started manually cutting her feeding time hay and even added straw which has helped with her tendency to colic, i really had to nurse her this last end of summer (seasons really effect her). I am on the hunt trying desperately to get Dengie Healthy Hoof out here and found a couple (shady) dealers, one is $95, just not sure i can trust them. Anyhoo my main question is can you make a video on which hays you use (we have her on alfalfa, orchard, bermuda grass) as well as the cut (1st, 2nd, etc.) This year she was mostly on orchard but that was an early cut (looked like alfalfa/lucerne) and this cut looks like grass and she's barely eating it. Considering what a large part of the horses diet hay is, it would be a tremendous help to get some solid advice on it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. 🤠

Linseeds in these small amounts won’t do much in the way of weight gain, but they will benefit shine and gut health. You have got to be careful with feeding larger quantities though, cause uncooked (!) they become toxic to any organism if too much is ingested. 100/150g for a 500kg horse is perfectly fine though:)

It’s to do with it being long stranded so when it’s digested it can cause build up of gas in the hind gut. Some is better that others but I chose to avoid it x

Thanks so much for your video so interesting to learn what others are feeding especially in other countries! I have found from so much trial and error with my boy that it is so up to the individual horse. I found out he has intolerances to certain feeds (soy, lupins and copra - go figure all ingredients often used in ‘grain free’ feeds). He also didn’t do well (put on no weight and seem to have constant ulcer like symptoms despite medication and supplements) on a high fibre grain free based feed (speedibeet - with supplements and oil) recommended by an independent nutritionist. I also think the volume of feed (being soaked speedibeet), despite its dry weight, was far too much which could have contributed to his upset stomach. The mash almost removed chewing and therefore saliva production that is so important for buffering stomach acid. Whatever the reason, he is now back to a canola meal and extruded barley cubed complete feed with probiotics and yeasts for digestion, designed for older horses, and is doing brilliantly. There is really interesting research on whether starch is the absolute enemy and really it comes down to (as was said in the video) gut bacteria balance feedxl.com/starch-ulcers-whats-the-deal/. Again though it all depends on the individual horse. I ended up using the FeedXL calculator and their research database to understand scientifically what I was feeding and needed to feed instead feedxl.com. I think anyone have feeding troubles should use this calculator to see exactly what their horse is getting, getting too much of and not getting. It has nutrient analyses of thousands of horse feeds and supplements. The site also has a tonne of scientifically based articles that you can use. Im not a sponsor I just want other horse owners to find a feed that finally works like I did that is evidence based and not have to use the hundreds of conflicting pieces of information out there! 😊.have found from so much trial and error with my boy that it is so up to the individual horse.

Hi Miri, do you ever get horses in that have intolerances? I have a Welsh who cannot have alfalfa and I struggle to find alfalfa free feeds. What would you recommend to start with ? (Currently feeding the Pure easy complete feed)

Hi yes we have had, I have used an Agrobs chaff for one that was alfalfa intolerant equally if he is happy on what you have then no reason to change necessarily

Any supplement that has marine derived Omega 3. If you want any information about it, I highly recommend looking at Kentucky Equine Research’s library of articles :)

If you have specific concerns regarding the immune system I would recommend speaking to your vet. Premier performance also do a multi vitamin supplement that has a great range of vitamins for overall immune support ☺️
