As the weather cools and paddocks begin to change, many horses start consuming more dry forage - whether that's hay, mature pasture, or a combination of both.

It's a normal part of the season — but it also changes the digestive environment.

Winter often brings:

✨ More dry forage
✨ Less moisture-rich pasture
✨ Changes in feeding routines
✨ Greater reliance on the digestive system to process and utilise feed efficiently

For this reason, many experienced horse owners place a greater emphasis on digestive support throughout the cooler months.

We've put together a new article exploring what changes when feed dries out, and why supporting horses through seasonal changes in forage and feed can be an important part of winter management.

Managing an EMS or insulin resistant horse can feel like a full-time job.

Soaked hay.
Restricted pasture.
Careful feeding.
Constant monitoring.

And still… some horses hold onto weight, carry those firm fat pads, or just don’t seem to respond the way you’d expect.

That’s where things can start to feel frustrating.

Because for many of these horses, it’s not a lack of effort — it’s a metabolic limitation.

Solis was created for horses in that category.
The ones that need more than just tighter management.

It works alongside what you’re already doing, supporting metabolic function over time, rather than forcing quick change.

✨ Supports metabolic balance in EMS & insulin resistant horses
✨ Helps horses that feel “stuck” despite careful management
✨ Designed to work alongside low-sugar, structured diets
✨ Focused on steady, long-term support — for lasting results
✨ Convenient multi-tasking formula — for comprehensive support that feels simple to use

What this often looks like over time:

🌼 That firm crest starting to soften
🌼 Fat pads that don’t feel quite as set
🌼 Weight becoming more responsive to your efforts
🌼 A horse that feels more comfortable in their body
🌼 Progress that finally feels possible again

Start your horse with Solis today, and enjoy:

Some horses gain weight easily… and then lose it fairly easily when you adjust their feed, or increase their activity level.

Other horses look similar at a glance — but looking more closely, and living their experience, with diet and exercise — things are not functioning the same way, at all.

You might still see some weight come off when changes are made —

But there are signs that elude to trouble, below the surface:

🤔 The dimpled, uneven fat layers across the body
❓ A firm, cresty neck that looks a little out of place
⚠️ Fat pads that do not like to budge
🐴 A horse that struggles with mild exercise, and resists stepping out

These horses aren’t just “good doers”.

They’re often dealing with a deeper metabolic dysfunction —
one that can spell disaster if things aren't turned around in time.

That’s where taking a proactive approach matters.

Because managing weight is one thing…
supporting what’s happening underneath is another.

If you’ve looked at your horse and thought “something’s a little bit different here” — we're here to help you make sense of it.

Meet Lumiere — the daily supplement designed to support your horse's health and wellness from the inside out.

Looking to check a few good-health essentials off your daily supplementation list? Lumiere helps promote gut comfort, reduce inflammation, tackle pesky sand, and get your horse glowing — all in one easy scoop.

How Does It Do It?
Lumiere's quality, fresh, botanical blend of ingredients supplies your horse with natural, plant-derived Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acid (EFA), antioxidants, bioflavonoids, fibre, prebiotics, toxin-binders, plus a soothing and sand-collecting gel - for better health and wellbeing, every day.

Why Supplement Omega-3?
Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acid, also known as alpha-linolenic acid or ALA, is an important anti-inflammatory compound, especially for horses receiving grains. As the name suggests, it is an essential dietary element, which horses need to consume daily, as they cannot make it themselves. While fresh green grass contains good levels of Omega-3 EFA, most is quickly lost as feed dries out or is stored as hay. Cereal grains and oils are typically very low in Omega-3, while being high in the Omega-3 antagonists - Omega’s 6 & 9. Therefore, any horse who is not consuming a diet of 90% or more fresh, green pasture, and little or no grain, should receive an Omega-3 supplement.

Two Birds, One Scone.
Needless to say, any horse who meets the criteria for receiving an Omega-3 Fatty Acid supplement, will also benefit from a little extra digestive support. That’s why we’ve included a gentle daily digestive support blend in Lumiere – making it easy for your to tick off two important ‘better health’ boxes with one supplement.

Nothing Fishy About It
Lumiere’s Omega-3 EFA is plant-derived – so there is no unpleasant fishy odour.

Take a Stand on Sand
Lumiere is a superior alternative to psyllium husk-based desanding products for your horse. While psyllium husk products offer little additional nutritional value and have been proven to cause health issues via inhalation of psyllium dust particles, feeding Lumiere daily is a safe and highly nutritious way to trap and remove pesky sand from your horse’s gut.

Concerned about how today's ride might pan out?

Horses with unregulated fizziness, excitability and nervous tension can be a danger to themselves, and those around them.

BioZen is a calming supplement for horses with a difference. It isn’t a mask, and it isn’t a band-aid fix. Rather, BioZen is a complete, holistic formula, designed to help improve your horse’s health and wellbeing – permanently – from the inside out.

🍎 BioZen provides important digestive care factors, including prebiotics, soluble fibre, soothing mucilage gel, and a healing botanical blend, which can help to soothe and heal inflamed or damaged gut epithelium.

⚖ BioZen can help to regulate blood sugar balance – avoiding sugar spikes, and related erratic behaviours.

🌿 BioZen can help to soothe and restore frayed nerves over time, and reduce reactivity.

🌟 Sedatives can make horses unsafe to ride. Horses may lose control of balance or coordination whilst under sedation, or lack good judgement of their surroundings. BioZen is a non-sedating nutritional supplement, which can be safely used before a ride.

From One Happy BioZen User:

“I had a mare who was completely explosive, borderline dangerous. Had everything possible added to her feed - injections, you name it. Ulcer treatments as well. One week on this medication Paula has given me and guess what butter wouldn’t melt in her mouth. The horse that is, not Paula. I wouldn’t go past to say that this medication stopped me having to dig a hole. I’m very grateful for Paula’s help.”

If you are searching for a calming supplement for horses that actually works, improves your horse’s general health and happiness, and is free from any nasty additives or synthetic ingredients, BioZen is the No.1 choice. Give your horse their best chance at success, with BioZen.

BioZen is available in our online store, with FREE delivery to anywhere in Australia.
