5. Adapt without dogma, on a case-by-case basis

Every horse is unique. General guidelines have their limits. At HNP, we reject the rigid application of standards. We focus on the quality and speed of starch breakdown. The standard of 100 g/100 kg/meal is not absolute. It can be exceeded for a lactating mare, but adhered to for a young horse in growth. Even within a group, needs fluctuate. Adapting throughout the year means feeding your horse well.

6. Four simple and reliable guiding principles

  1. Feed first. Quality and quantity are sufficient to structure the ration. This is the irreplaceable foundation.
  2. Clean water, at will. Without water, digestion quickly becomes disrupted. Feed intake also decreases.
  3. Appropriate energy and protein. Choose a reliable feed. Distribute it at the right time. Measure out the correct amount.
  4. Supplementation last. Minerals, vitamins and trace elements should be added with caution. They supplement, they do not replace.

Following these steps reduces common mistakes. You ensure health, behaviour and recovery!

4. Put it into practice every day

Observe your horse objectively. Look at the neck, the topline, the croup, the chest and the flanks. Touch to feel the actual condition. Keep an eye on the droppings and the environment (water trough, feed trough, bedding). Trust your instincts: drier coat, low spirits, slimmer silhouette. If in doubt, seek competent and friendly advice!

3. Concrete evidence and points to watch out for

Cases of poisoning linked to bad supplementation are on the rise. Minerals, vitamins and trace elements require precision. Excesses are as problematic as deficiencies. ‘Supermarket’ tack shops are no substitute for qualified advice. Our internal study focuses on digestibility for better assimilation. Feeding your horse well means moving forward with solid data.

Feeding your horse well: the foundation of good health, today and tomorrow

World Food Day reminds us of something obvious… Food is the cornerstone of your horse’s health. Whether you have a horse, pony or donkey, the principle remains the same. When you love them, you feed them well! Equine nutrition is constantly evolving. Research is being conducted all over the world. At HNP, we have just completed an internal study on the digestibility of rations. Stay tuned, we will be sharing the results soon! Feeding your horse well starts with simple and reliable basics.

1. Why nutrition is so important

An adequate diet supports health from head to tail. It directly influences behaviour and well-being. Good nutrition aids recovery and prevents disease. However, putting this into practice remains difficult… Contradictory advice creates doubt… Yet feeding your horse well requires clear and consistent guidelines!

2. How to find reliable reference points

Rely on essential basics:

  • High-quality, sufficient fodder as a priority.
  • Clean water at will.
  • Cover energy and protein requirements with high-quality feed, at the right time and in reasonable quantities.
  • Supplements should be a last resort.
