Grain-Free Feed

The Benefits of Grain-Free Horse Feed

Dear horse lovers,

The tendency to opt for grain-free horse feed is increasing in popularity as many horse owners decide to eliminate grain from their horses' diets for a variety of reasons. Grain-free feeding has several benefits that can improve a horse's health and well-being.

A key issue is avoiding excess starch which can happen with grain-rich feed. This is of special importance because not all horses can process starch well which can lead to digestive problems, insulin resistance and even laminitis.

Another crucial factor is weight management. Many horses have difficulty maintaining a healthy weight, especially if they are prone to obesity or metabolic problems. A grain-free diet allows better weight management which in turn promotes overall health.

Furthermore, a grain-free diet stabilises blood sugar levels and minimises fluctuations. This is particularly important for horses with metabolic problems and reduces the risk of subsequent complications.

However, it is important to emphasise that the decision to go for grain-free feed should be carefully considered. Every horse is unique and the optimal nutrition depends on various factors. Before making the switch, it is advisable to consult with a feed specialist to ensure that the specific needs of each horse are taken into account.
