Not the usual “𝘱𝘰𝘯𝘺’𝘴 𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘧 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘺 𝘢𝘴 𝘢 𝘩𝘢𝘵” sort of day.

No - this is a quiet sort of organised. Almost… structured. Rhythmic, even. Like December has a little sequence in mind and is trying (badly) to hide it.

Which, for a yard held together by baler twine, is just wrong… Something festive must be plotting (𝘸𝘦’𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘴𝘢𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘥!) 😉

Oh - and if you catch yourself counting backwards for absolutely no reason… don’t worry. Just pop the kettle back on and pretend you didn’t notice. 😏🎄✨

Most of us think winter is the simple season - hay, rugs, a bit less riding, job done, home by 4pm to hug a radiator...

But behind the scenes, winter quietly increases two of your horse’s biggest nutritional needs - 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹𝘀 & 𝗛𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

And here’s the part many of us forget…

• Horses drink less when it’s cold
• Forage is naturally low in key minerals
• Modern soils are more depleted than ever
• Salt + electrolytes become even more important in winter
• Hay-based diets raise water needs dramatically

Put all that together and winter becomes the season where mineral gaps deepen and dehydration risk increases - long before any obvious signs appear.

If your horse seems a little flatter, a bit tight in the muscles, legs a bit discombobulated, it may not be their workload… it may simply be their minerals and hydration slipping under the radar.

Here's our latest Winter Wisdom guide that explains:

• Why winter increases mineral demand
• How salt + electrolytes really work
• Why UK forage can’t meet mineral needs alone
• The science of winter dehydration (and the #1 colic trigger)
• How modern soils changed everything
• What subtle, subclinical deficiencies look like

…and how a few simple daily tweaks can make a world of difference.

It’s a big read - packed with practical, winter-friendly advice to help your horse stay comfortable, resilient, and healthy this season.

❄️ 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗼 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿!

And just like that, winter has stepped into the field…

1st December marks 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗼𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿, and with it, a shift in your horse’s internal rhythms:

• Colder days
• Frosty mornings
• Warm-water feedbowl soaks
• Cosy rugs
• And maybe even a little bit of tinsel around barn and stable doors

- all part of the seasonal festive season that we love!✨

As the days finally reach the shortest day and the cold deepens, horses naturally slow down and conserve energy – and this is the season when the kidneys and bladder take centre stage.

In both equine physiology and the ancient Five-Element seasonal cycle, winter belongs to the Water element, the time when the kidneys work hardest.

𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗷𝗼𝗯?
• To manage hydration
• Regulate the body’s salt–water balance
• Filter the bloodstream
• And excrete the huge load of water-soluble toxins that build up through everyday metabolic processes.

We often think of the liver as the main detox organ… but the kidneys are the ones that finish the job. They’re the final exit route – the hardworking purifiers that keep the system flowing.

Winter challenges them more than any other season:
• cold weather reduces thirst
• water intake drops
• toxin load rises – especially with drier forage and increased protein turnover in the winter coat

Over the coming days we’ll explore more winter wisdom to help support your horse’s natural seasonal physiology – starting with the simplest (and most overlooked) foundation of all…

❄️ 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝘁 + 𝗵𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 + 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 – the perfect essentials for winter kidney support.

So stay cosy, stay tuned – December is just getting started. And yes… we’ve got a tiny bit of December sparkle to share with you further down the line! ✨

As winter draws nearer, here's a thing - protein needs rise in winter.

Not dramatically - but enough to matter. Especially for older horses, clipped horses, poor-doers, and any who struggle to maintain muscle tone or warmth.

Here’s why…

❄️ 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿

🔹 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗶𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽𝘀 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗺𝘁𝗵 - digesting protein creates more natural heat than digesting carbs or fat (a process called 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘰𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘴). It won’t replace rugs - but it gently supports your horse’s natural central heating system.

🔹 𝗠𝘂𝘀𝗰𝗹𝗲 = 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘁 + 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵 - winter can reduce muscle tone through less movement, stiffer muscles, heavier rugs. Quality amino acids support muscle repair, strength and topline - the key to staying warm and well.

🔹 𝗜𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗶𝗻 - antibodies, immune cells, tissue repair - all need protein. Winter = more viral load, more metabolic stress, more demand on the immune system.

🔹 𝗢𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 - ageing reduces digestive efficiency, teeth wear down, forage is chewed less effectively. Which means many seniors can’t extract protein from their hay as well as they used to.

❄️ 𝗔𝗻𝗱... 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗮𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆
Steaming is brilliant for respiratory health… I’m all for it, 100%. But…

It can reduce the digestibility of essential amino acids (lysine, methionine, threonine) by up to 50%. This is due to a natural “Maillard reaction” - binding amino acids to sugars at high heat.

Clean lungs? Yes please. But losing key amino acids? This is where winter foundations come in.

Think of it as giving your horse the exact building blocks they need for:
• warmth
• muscle maintenance
• immune resilience
• coat & hoof quality
• winter recovery
Perfect for steamed-hay diets, seniors, poor-doers, hard workers, or anyone losing topline.

🌿 𝗦𝗽𝗶𝗿𝘂𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗮 - 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗳𝘂𝗲𝗹 & 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗼𝘅 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁
A true winter support:
• nutrient-dense, clean protein
• deep detox support
• supports muscle repair
• rich in chlorophyll + trace minerals
• sustains healthy energy
• ideal for older horses who need a lift

Together, Spirulina + EssentialAminos offer a complete winter protein foundation, especially if:
✔ hay is steamed
✔ digestion is less efficient
✔ topline is slipping
✔ your horse gets cold easily
✔ your senior needs more 'internal warmth'

The cold has arrived! And the equine gut is now beginning its biggest seasonal shift of the year:

• Less grass → more hay
• Colder weather → less hydration

Which means one thing: the hindgut has to work harder than ever.

Here’s why winter gut care matters – and how to keep things steady.

❄️ 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗴𝘂𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗮 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿

• 𝗦𝘂𝗱𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 = 𝗯𝗶𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀: the move from fresh, wet grass to dry hay alters moisture, carbs, texture, and fibre fermentation – a shift that can leave the hindgut biome struggling, leading to slower digestion and gut discomfort.

• 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗴𝘂𝘁 = 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲’𝘀 𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺: fibre fermentation generates warmth. If the hindgut is under strain, that heat production drops.

• 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗿𝗮𝗶𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰: hay is drier than grass, and colder weather reduces drinking – which means the gut has to work harder to keep everything moving, so feed salt to encourage drinking. Calm motility and good hydration are essential right now.

• 𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆: winter forage loses variety – and hay alone can’t offer the rich prebiotic diversity horses evolved to browse on.

This week was meant to be all about winter digestion - but sometimes life steps in.

On Monday, we lost our beloved Connemara, Murphy - the heart of EquiNatural, and my world for the past 24 years - after a sudden colic. Bright and cheeky on Sunday; peaceful and still by Monday morning. He reached 31 incredible years, and what a gift every one of those years was.

So this week, in Murf’s honour, instead of the planned Winter Digestion post, we’re bringing our Winter Seniors’ feature forward - for the wise, gentle souls who’ve carried us through decades of joy, and who may need a little extra support as the cold settles in.

𝗪𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗶𝘀𝗱𝗼𝗺 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗿 𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲𝘀
Whether they’re 15 or 30, no two horses age in the same way. No question though - ageing brings change; slower digestion, less muscle tone, dental wear, shifts in immunity - but with thoughtful, whole-horse care, our golden oldies can thrive through every season.

But - caring for an older horse isn't about extra calories or relying on quick fixes. It’s about nourishing the whole system - feeding the gut to fuel warmth, supporting circulation and muscle tone, protecting the immune system, and nurturing calm, steady energy from within.

𝗔𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻, 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁:
• Fibre-first - steady warmth through good fibre digestion
• Amino acids for muscle tone
• Gentle herbal support to keep the gut, joints, and circulation ticking happily along.

Our Winter Foundations Campaign spotlights how to keep your senior horse balanced, warm, comfortable, and thriving.

🌿 𝗟𝘆𝗺𝗽𝗵𝗧𝗼𝗻𝗲 (𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗮&𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀)– supports lymph flow, guarding against filled legs

Here’s to our greatest teachers, and our everyday joy.
