Looking to help your horse gain weight safely and effectively? 🐴✨

Adding oil to your horse’s diet is a simple, powerful way to boost calories without the downsides of sugar- and starch-laden high-cereal feeds.

Here’s why oil is a game-changer, especially for “poor doers” or horses with specific health needs:

🌾Highly Concentrated Calories
Oil contains around 2.5x more digestible energy than the same weight of oats. This means you can increase calorie intake without increasing meal size - perfect for horses with smaller appetites.

😎“Cool” Energy - No Fizzy Behaviour
Unlike starch- and sugar-heavy cereal feeds that can lead to excitable behaviour, fat provides slow-release energy. The result? Calm, steady condition gain without the heat.

🍬Sugar & Starch Free + Digestive Friendly
Oil is completely sugar and starch free, making it a safer option for horses prone to laminitis, colic, gastric ulcers, or other digestive sensitivities. It is digested in the small intestine, which also reduces the risk of hindgut acidosis linked to large grain meals.

✨Supports Coat, Skin & Overall Health
Oils supply essential fatty acids (Omega-3 and Omega-6) which horses can’t produce themselves. These support immune function, skin health and help create that healthy, glossy coat we all love.

💪Helpful for Certain Muscle Conditions
Higher-fat diets can support horses with muscle disorders such as tying-up syndrome by providing energy without relying on high starch levels.
When introduced gradually and fed correctly, oil can be a safe, effective addition to your feeding program - delivering condition, shine and balanced energy.

🌱Does restricting grass really matter that much?
Horses can eat a full a 24 hours’ worth of their recommended intake in just 8 hours of turnout.

Here’s what that actually looks like:
⚖ The average horse can consume 2.25 - 4.5 kg of fresh grass per hour
⏰Over 8 hours of grazing, that equals 3.6 - 7.2 kg of dry matter
⚠Depending on grass sugar levels, that can mean up to 1.65 kg of sugar in a single day from turnout alone!

That’s a LOT of sugar from “just grass”…

Managing Turnout Smartly
🌱Grazing muzzles can reduce grass intake by up to 80%.
🌱Heavily grazed pastures create stressed grass and stressed grass can contain more sugar per kg than longer grass or preserved forage.
🌱Turnout is important for mental and physical wellbeing, but it’s not always “low risk” when it comes to sugar intake.
🌱Balancing grass access, pasture management and the needs of each individual horse makes all the difference - especially for good doers or those prone to laminitis.

Smart grazing = healthier horses
