Roughage first, then concentrates ๐พ
Did you know that horses only produce saliva while chewing? That saliva neutralises stomach acid and helps protect the stomach. The more your horse chews, the better protected the stomach is.
That's why it's not just about what you feed, but also when and how:
๐พ Give roughage as often as possible: it keeps your horse chewing and the digestion running smoothly
๐ฅฃ Give roughage first and concentrates afterwards: the roughage forms a buffer in the stomach
โฑ๏ธ Split concentrates into small, regular portions instead of a few large meals
The result? A lower risk of gastric ulcers and colic, and a horse that feels great ๐
