Vital and safe pasture time

Are you and your horse also excited about spring? The days are getting longer, the temperatures are rising, and a period of outdoor adventures is waiting for you. Maybe your horse is already enjoying the first bites of fresh grass! However, during the transition to spring grass, there are also many discomforts and risks to be aware of. In this blog, we’ll give you tips on how to safely and healthily bring your horse to the pasture using natural products!

The dangers of spring grass
It is important to be aware of the risks that the first bites of grass in the spring bring. Spring grass can contain a lot of sugar (fructan), which can lead to health problems. An excess of sugar can cause an imbalance in the intestines, leading to gas formation, a sensitive and bloated belly, weight gain, a hard crest of the mane, or sensitive hooves. Therefore, it is very important to gradually increase pasture time in the spring and let your horse go to the pasture later in the day. After a cold night and sunny morning, the fructan levels in the grass rise significantly! Be cautious of this.

Keep the blood sugar levels balanced
With Vitalstyle SugarBalance, you can support your horse during spring pasture time. This liquid supplement is the perfect support for varying sugar levels in the grass and helps regulate sugar and fat metabolism. As a result, it contributes to maintaining a healthy blood sugar level. It is also a great supplement for horses with a hard crest, to support good hoof health during pasture time, or for horses that are overweight.

Maintain healthy manure
The change in diet from dry roughage to fresh spring grass can significantly disrupt your horse’s digestive system. You can recognize this by loose manure, diarrhea, or a sensitive belly. If you know your horse is sensitive to this transition, feed Vitalstyle Intestinal Balance preventively to provide extra support to the digestive system. This supplement, with powerful herbs, pre- and probiotics, can also be fed when your horse’s digestion is already disrupted to restore balance.
