When feeding our horses, we want the best food for them, often forgetting how these animals have been nourished over thousands of years of evolution. In nature, horses do not have access to perfectly selected feeds with a huge content of proteins and sugars. On the contrary, their digestive system is adapted to digest only small amounts of sugar, which were found in dry shoots of grass that they could hardly find in the steppe. Interestingly, horses usually know what micronutrients they currently need and, living in the wild, they eat in the most appropriate way for them. They often cover huge, about thirty-kilometre distances, thus ensuring an optimal dose of exercise.

 

We can see for ourselves that when feeding horses in paddocks, they usually move from one feeder to another. Wandering in search of food is deeply rooted in their nature. Box rearing of horses and giving them specific feeding times requires us to properly match the nutrients currently needed by our horses.

 

In our stable, we provide them with constant access to hay, which is especially important for horses with a tendency to ulcers. They can constantly take small doses of bulk food, so their stomach is not empty, so the risk of creating erosions on the stomach wall is reduced.

In order to provide your horses with a constant supply of appropriate nutrients, we have many types of feed such as muesli, pellets or chaff. Importantly, we try to choose products that are as unprocessed as possible, so that the horses receive fully natural food. Our diet is based on low-protein and low-sugar foods without the addition of molasses. We know that too much sugar is harmful to a horse's health, which is manifested primarily by obesity, insulin resistance and the presence of flares and rings on the hooves. These are diseases that make it difficult for horses to function normally and reduce their efficiency.

 

To meet these problems, we want to help you individually choose the way of feeding horses, appropriate to their metabolism and use.

We also have feed additives such as:
- yeast - support the work of the digestive system and ensure the maintenance of proper bacterial flora, which is extremely important, because horses, as herbivores, do not digest cellulose alone, which most of their feed consists of. This is done by the appropriate bacteria in the intestines, the development of which can be supported by administering this supplement.

- sunflower husk - has a beneficial effect on the development of the hoof horn and maintains proper intestinal peristalsis. Thanks to it, the hair of our charges has a healthy shine and a pleasant to the touch texture.

- linseed and other oils - provide a source of omega 3 and help in a slow release of energy, which is especially important for working horses  under the saddle. They also support the development of the hair coat and have a positive effect on the digestive system.

- licks - horses have their own licks at their disposal both in boxes and in paddocks. We have a huge range of different flavors and types, from Himalayan salt to herbal licks. Thanks to this, horses have free access to the micronutrients they need at the moment.

In addition, our paddocks are regularly checked to eliminate any harmful or undesirable plants, in order to eliminate the risk of poisoning the horses.
