🌱How Diet Can Change Your Horses Behaviour.

ULTRA PROCESSED HORSE FEEDS: Many horses struggle with behaviour changes, tension, sourness, anxiety, skin flare-ups, respiratory issues or laminitic sensitivity, and owners are often shocked to learn how much of it is linked to diet.

When a horse is eating ultra-processed feeds, fillers, preservatives or fermented grasses grown with chemicals, the body can become inflamed. And when the body is inflamed, the behaviour usually shows it first.

The good news is that the shift in the right direction for both temperament and health can be incredible once those feeds are removed.

Whole, recognisable foods naturally calm the gut and the nervous system, and horses often become softer, more settled, more willing and simply happier in themselves.

If your horse feels “off”, always check the feed bag. Look for whole foods and be cautious with soya, beet pulp, copra, brans, meals, mixed blends, GM by-products and heavily processed ingredients.

Simple, real foods are often the most powerful step toward a healthier, happier and more comfortable horse.
