We agree!

None of us whose career is in equine nutrition think that your horse’s diet shouldn’t be forage based—and it always is even if you do feed a fully fortified feed.
Forage should make up 80% of your horse’s diet. Even better if you are feeding a forage based feed…
But what we don’t agree with is that’s all it takes ESPECIALLY if your horse is working, competing, growing, used for breeding, etc. Even the best quality forage won’t provide everything needed to reach some very important vitamin and mineral needs.
You don’t always see those from the outside of a horse. Fat and shiny doesn’t always mean healthy—actually can we stop saying a fat horse is a healthy horse? Because it’s not.
If your horse is on an only forage diet, make sure to at minimum add a diet balancer to fill in the gap with what is lacking. Read the tag. See what it provides and guarantees. What form of trace minerals are used?
If you don’t understand how to read a feed or diet balancer tag, reach out.
My job is to educate horse owners as much as possible so that they can make the best decision for their horses, no matter what they are feeding. Because after all, we are here for the the horses. 💙

❄🐴🌾 Is it safe to graze horses after a hard freeze?

What defines a hard freeze?
🌡 A hard freeze refers to a frost that is severe enough to end the growing season. The National Weather Service defines a hard freeze when temperatures fall below 28ºF for a few hours.
🌾 Cool-season grasses commonly found in Midwest horse pastures go into dormancy for winter and conserve their energy stores (starches and sugars) following a hard freeze.

Is it safe to graze after a hard freeze?
🛑 We recommend keeping horses off pastures for at least 7 days after a hard freeze.
❄️ Frost-damaged pastures are higher in nonstructural carbohydrates (NSC; starches and sugars) because plants can not use up their energy stores as efficiently. It can take plants 7 days to return to more normal NSC levels.
🐴 Higher levels of NSC can lead to an increase risk for laminitis, especially in horses diagnosed with or prone to obesity, laminitis, Cushing's, and Equine Metabolic Syndrome.

What else should you consider before horses resume grazing?
The decision to graze again after a hard freeze depends on the condition of your pasture. After a hard freeze, no additional regrowth of the pasture will occur, even though the pasture might appear green in color. If your cool-season grass pasture is

✅ taller than 3 to 4 inches, then grazing can resume 7 days after a hard freeze and can continue until the pasture is grazed down to 3 to 4 inches.
❌ shorter than 3 to 4 inches, then no grazing should occur after a hard freeze. Grazing below 3 inches can harm the plant and lead to poor productivity next season.

🌾 Plants rely on stored nonstructural carbohydrates in the lower 3 inches for energy. Therefore, the 3- to 4-inch minimum height recommendation is necessary to help maximize winter survival and can help predict a vigorous and healthy pasture come spring. We do recognize horses rarely graze uniformly and pastures tend to have areas of both over and under grazing. You will need to base decisions on the average appearance of your pasture.
