Forageplus 🐴 Totally different horse nutrition
🌱 Experts matching feed to grass and hay
Start with science and feed only what you need

The sensible way to optimise diet is to find out what is contained in the greatest proportion of the horses diet, namely grass, hay or haylage. We offer laboratory forage testing of the highest standard, both full mineral and nutritional to determine nutritional intake more accurately. We stock a range of high quality, low iron, lowest sugar, off the shelf forage focused supplements which have been formulated to using our hundreds of analysis reports. We can use the results from these reports to create bespoke nutrition plans to optimise your horses health and performance. Each plan is individual to your horse and covers calorie needs, mineral, electrolyte and vitamin needs. We are experts who practise what we preach using our feeding philosophy with all our horses whom we compete on in endurance, riding club events and drag hunt through the winter.

Feed the right amount of essential Omega 3.

The simplest and safest way to do this is with a small daily amount of micronised linseed.

💡 How much linseed should you feed each day?

👉 42g micronised linseed per 220kg bodyweight

So for a 500kg horse:
500 ÷ 220 = 2.27
2.27 × 42 = 95g per day

Fed consistently, this keeps omega 3 levels high through winter, without adding unnecessary calories or starch, it’s safe and essential for laminitis prone horses too.

WHY ….

Hay, haylage and winter grass are naturally low in essential omega 3, yet omega 3 is critical for:

• skin & coat health
• strong, resilient hooves
• joint comfort
• brain function & behaviour
• immune and inflammatory balance

If omega 3 isn’t added, deficiency is guaranteed and that’s when you’ll see niggly problems.

Chaff isn’t automatically good or bad for your horse ….. it depends on why you’re feeding it, when, and what you expect it to do.

💫 A horse is never just a horse 💫

They are the calm in the chaos, joy on the hard days, a quiet teacher, a healer of hearts, and a best friend you never knew you needed.

Makes sense as well. I am listening to a book called Blink written by Malcolm Gladwell.

In Blink, Gladwell explains how people rely on fast, intuitive judgments (“thin-slicing”) that feel obviously true. In the horse world, long-standing exposure to bits shaping behaviour can create an unconscious assumption that they work through biomechanics or training, rather than discomfort. Once that intuition is normalised and tied to identity and tradition, evidence of pain is filtered out, not out of malice, but because unexamined intuition is very hard to question.
