Now it starts again, the gray, changeable season. Typical „british“ winters are wet, cold , cloudy
with ever- changing temperatures, who gets to the owners and horses.
For my horse that often means:
-> Stabling
-> less movement
-> Lack of light
-> „bad air“, dusty air
-> high bacterial pressure
Health consequences for my horse:
-> Increase of infections and diseases, especially respiratory diseases
-> Immunodeficiency & stress
What can I do as an owner?
-> Optimization of indoor breeding by:
a lot of light
fresh air, but no draught
adequate exercise
avoiding Stress
avoid dust
-> Checking the health of my horse by a „VetCheck“ of my veterinarian:
General examination
Blood test
Faecal examination
Worming
-> Sensible use of natural, herbal supplements for support, prevention and
therapy support in consultation with my vet!
Especially in winter, natural supplementary feeds are recommended:
-> to strengthen the immune system
-> to support the respiratory organs
-> to the sufficient supply of vitamins / trace elements / minerals
-> to minimize stress
