Tailoring a diet for your horse

Horses come in all shapes, breeds and sizes, all with differing nutritional requirements to suit their work levels and lifestyle. Providing a diet which is tailored to your horse through a specifically formulated diet plan can be useful, but what are the benefits and how can this improve your horse’s health and nutrition?

Why should you have a diet plan for your horse?

As the dietary requirements of horses can be very different, it makes sense to find a diet which is right for them. It’s important to remember that horses are individuals, and this is where a diet plan can help with creating the right diet for YOUR horse.

Good Nutrition is essential to health and to give your horse the best nutrition, the diet should consider their own specific needs. A diet plan supports your horse as an individual and allows the diet to be tailored to many different requirements:

Performance – the right nutrition can improve performance, so tailoring the diet to work and performance is essential, whether you are striving for excellence or concerned about a drop in performance

Age –  nutritional needs differ with age, so whether you have a youngster or a golden oldie, a diet plan can help you to optimise their health and well-being.

Temperament –  diet can have a significant impact on temperament, particularly if a horse is prone to excitability, which can affect performance. A diet plan can help tailor feed types to temperament to help keep your horse calm and focused.

Weight management –  One of the most notable benefits of a having a diet plan is weight management, enabling the diet to be tailored towards losing or gaining weight for optimum condition.

Clinical nutrition– if your horse has or is prone to certain nutritional related conditions, the right diet and management is essential, so a diet plan can be essential for recovery and future prevention.
