The Importance Of Your Horses Diet
Nutrition plays a crucial role in maintaining overall health of your horse. When your horse has a diet that is high in sugar, starch or unnecessary ingredients, the body is working in overdrive. When dealing with certain ailments, a diet can be working against you, even while treating or attempting to resolve them.
The goal of selecting appropriate food choices for your horse is aiming to restore balance, improve digestion, and support organ function.
An appropriate and clean diet can be particularly beneficial for horses with digestive issues, obesity, allergies, and chronic illnesses or recurring symptoms.
What Is A Clean Diet?
A clean diet is one that contains minimal ingredients that are not highly processed, containing no added sugars, additional starches or ingredients that upset the gastrointestinal tract.
How Do I Feed Herbs?
Many horse owners following a clean diet will opt to mix their herbal formulas with alfalfa pellets or cubes, soaking them to incorporate the herbal formulas and feeding once or twice per day. This eliminates much of the need for grain diets.
Another way is to mix any of the herbal formulas with water and syringe to your horse as needed.
