Temperatures are soaring across the country this week, so it's important to make a few adjustments to help keep our horses comfortable.

From providing plenty of fresh water and shade to adapting turnout and exercise routines, small changes can make a big difference during periods of hot weather.

With temperatures soaring this week, many horse owners will be adapting their horses' routines, whether that's turning out overnight or stabling during the hottest part of the day.

If your horse is spending more time indoors, Horslyx can provide a source of enrichment alongside balanced nutrition, helping to support their health and wellbeing during the warmer weather.

Warmer weather can influence grazing and feeding behaviour, making it important to ensure horses continue to receive balanced nutrition throughout the summer months.

Flies are more than an inconvenience. Their persistent presence throughout the summer causes measurable stress for horses.

The behavioural signs of fly irritation are well recognised: tail swishing, stamping, skin twitching, shortened grazing periods and disrupted rest. Over time, the cumulative effect of this irritation can influence behaviour, weight maintenance and general wellbeing.

Addressing fly irritation through consistent, natural management forms part of a responsible summer care routine.

Horslyx Garlyx Balancer supports horses through the fly season in a format that is straightforward to use and easy to incorporate into daily management.

The longest day of the year.

For those of us who spend it on the yard, the summer solstice has a particular quality. More time in the light means more time with horses, and that extra hour or two at the end of an evening has its own unhurried pace.

Whatever your plans this summer, we hope your horses are well, your ground holds up, and the flies stay manageable.

From the Horslyx team, happy solstice.

Lush spring grass gives way to drier, coarser summer grazing as June progresses.

Dry, sun-stressed pasture is lower in nutritional quality than the growth horses have been accustomed to. The vitamins, minerals and trace elements available through fresh grass decline as grass matures and moisture content falls.

Horses on poor-quality summer pasture may face nutritional gaps that are not immediately visible but influence condition, coat quality and overall vitality over time.

Horslyx Balancers are formulated to complement forage-based diets, providing a consistent daily source of essential nutrients regardless of the quality of available grazing.

An uncomplicated way to bridge the gap

Appetite can be one of the first things to change when temperatures rise.

Horses that eat well through spring may become more selective in June, particularly during the warmest part of the day. Maintaining consistent daily nutrition during this period matters, even when intake is variable.

The natural palatability of mint makes Horslyx Mint Balancer a considered choice for summer feeding. Its lick format supports steady, unhurried intake that fits naturally around a horse's routine in warmer conditions.

Combined with a high-specification vitamin, mineral and trace element profile, it is designed to complement a forage-based diet through the summer season.

There’s a moment most horse owners recognise.

When standing still becomes difficult.
When focus disappears.
When everything feels just slightly harder than it should.

It might be the farrier.
A physio session.
A long journey.

Or simply a day when your horse has other ideas.

That’s where Mini Horslyx finds its place.

Not as a replacement for your routine, but as something you reach for when you need a little more calm, a little more focus, and a horse that’s easier to work with in the moment.

As ground conditions dry and harden through June, the risk of impact-related injury to hooves and lower limbs increases.

Hard, compacted surfaces place greater concussive stress on the hoof capsule, digital cushion and lower limb structures. Horses covering ground in work or at turnout on dry, firm tracks and gateways may be more susceptible to bruising, sole sensitivity and the early stages of hoof fatigue.

Good hoof quality is built over time, influenced by nutrition, management and hoof care routine. Trace elements including biotin, zinc and copper play an important role in supporting hoof wall integrity.

Horslyx Balancers provide a consistent daily source of these key nutrients, complementing forage-based feeding through the summer months.

Fly season is now well underway, and for many horses the persistent irritation of flies is one of the most significant welfare concerns of the summer.

Fly irritation causes stress, disrupts grazing and rest patterns, and can affect behaviour and performance. Natural management strategies, used consistently, form an important part of a summer care routine.

Garlic has been used in equine management for generations, valued for its natural properties during the fly season. Horslyx Garlic Balancer delivers the benefits of garlic in a convenient, lick-fed format alongside a full spectrum of vitamins, minerals and trace elements.

Simple to use, and easy to incorporate into daily yard routine.

Warm weather brings more than longer rides.

As temperatures rise, horses are at greater risk of heat stress and dehydration. Sweating increases the loss of electrolytes and essential minerals, and horses may drink less than they need, particularly when water sources are unfamiliar or less accessible.

Signs of dehydration can be subtle. Reduced energy, dry mucous membranes and slow skin-tent recovery all warrant attention.

Supporting consistent mineral intake through the warmer months is an important part of thoughtful summer management. Horslyx Balancers provide a daily source of vitamins, minerals and trace elements in a format horses find palatable even when appetite fluctuates with the heat.
