If your horse is suffering from gut ulcers, check your feed labels.📑

Feeding a high grain = high starch feed wont be doing your horse's gut any favours.
Go very carefully with the grain and high starch pasture;

A horse is limited in his ability to digest starch, especially in large amounts. When horses consume too much starch (such as with a high-grain diet and high sugar/starch pasture) once this starch is in the stomach, it is mixed with the hydrochloric acid that is continually produced and it undergoes a reaction. In this form, the starch can enter the epithelial cells of the upper part of the stomach, causing them to become inflamed, and swell, and ultimately make the stomach wall lining more prone to ulceration.

Learning how to read your feed and supplement lables is a critical skill when it comes to feeding correctly and saving you $$

I walked my paddocks today and found that the sweet vernal grasses are flowering.

I know that sweet vernal is a good fibrous horse grass. I know it has a sweet smell which comes from the coumarin, a naturally occurring chemical found in many plants, but in excess it can have a bitter taste.

Why is this important? Why care what grasses my horses are eating?🤷‍♀️

Because I have learnt that this grass is fairly low in nutrients, but high in fibre and is good for my easy keeper pony!
I also know how it makes and stores starch as it is a C3 (cool-season) grass.🌿

Horses have an inbuilt programme that makes them want to eat.🐴

If your horse has stopped eating it is far too easy to blame the feed.

These are the top reasons why a horse stops eating:

Gastric Ulcers = These are very painful and fast become associated with pain when eating. Plus the microbail population become unstable and destroy off the appetite. Seek veterinary help for medication and a nutritionist for a diet for recovery.🚑

Pain/ Illness = These can negatively impact appetite. Seek veterinary attention.

Teeth = Bad teeth, broken teeth and mouth uclers play a role in decreased appetite. Seek a qualified dentist.

Stress = Changes in owner, pasture, paddock mates, routine, exercise, travel are all MAJOR stress for the horse. They may appear to not affect your horse on the outside however can negatively impact the gut. Again causing a microbial imbalance, which causes appetite decline. Seek to reduce your horses stress anyway you can and feed a balanced diet.

Fast feed changes = Fast changes in both feeds and HAY, will upset the horses sensitive gut. Introduce all new feed, hay and chaff at a slow rate of 1/4 total amount to start and incfrrease by 1/4 every 4 days in order to allow the micorbes to adjust.⏰

Owning horses is never cheap or easy, however spending the time and energy to properly investigate the cause of appetite loss is an investment in a happy healthy future with your horse!
