Thank you to the team at @saracen_horse_feeds for this advice! 🌿

As we head into spring, balancing nutrition for our horses—especially those who are "good doers" or have metabolic conditions—is more important than ever. Understanding how to manage forage intake while ensuring your horse gets the essential nutrients they need is key to keeping them healthy as turnout changes.

 
Follow #FFF26 and #FeedFactFortnight throughout the next two weeks. We’ve got daily expert tips, live webinars, and amazing prizes to help you master your horse’s nutrition from start to finish! 🏆🌾
Weight gain often happens gradually, particularly when grazing improves. By the time changes are visually obvious, an extra condition, which can be hard to remove, may already be established.

Checking body condition regularly helps you spot small changes early so you can make gentle adjustments to feeding or management. Using your hands is often more reliable than looking alone; you should 
be able to feel the ribs easily when you run your hand lightly over them, but not clearly see them.

Regular checks let you stay ahead of seasonal changes rather than react later. Thank you, @allenandpage , for this top tip!

With the tricky weather conditions we had over the summer, followed by a very wet winter, many yards are now facing the very real possibility of forage being in short supply. If your forage stack isn’t looking as healthy as you’d like, forage extenders can make a huge difference.

They help you keep fibre levels up, support gut health and maintain a steady diet even when you’re stretching out your forage. They are ideal for topping up or supplementing rations, making sure your horse still gets enough fibre without relying solely on traditional forage. 🌿💚

They’re easy to introduce and a practical way to help your forage supplies last longer.

Thank you, @horsehageandmollichaff
