This sudden increase in readily available energy can pose a health risk, especially for native breeds, easy keepers or animals prone to metabolic issues such as laminitis or equine metabolic syndrome.Introducing your horse to spring grazing gradually helps their digestive microbes adapt and reduces the risk of colic or laminitic episodes try short turnout periods initially, increasing duration over several days or weeks rather than all at once. For those at higher risk, consider management tools like grazing muzzles or strip grazing to control intake, or turnout during lower-sugar periods such as early morning or overnight.Dont forget the basics: continue to provide good-quality forage such as hay or haylage alongside grazing, maintain access to fresh water, and monitor body condition regularly. Adjust hard feeds or supplements in line with workload and individual needs, seeking advice from an equine nutritionist or vet when required.The sudden arrival of spring grass can pose a health risk to some equines.Feeding TipsIntroduce grazing gradually Shorter periods of turnout to begin with will allow the hindgut microbes time to adapt to richer grass. Be mindful of sugar levels Cool nights and bright spring sunshine can raise grass sugar (NSC) levels. Use practical grazing management Strip grazing, track systems or grazing muzzles can help regulate intake without removing turnout altogether. Early morning turnout may be preferable during high-risk periods.Monitor body condition regularly Spring grass can lead to rapid weight gain. Condition score every couple of weeks and adjust forage or bucket feed accordingly.Balance, dont overfeed As grass intake increases, calorie-dense hard feed may no longer be necessary. However, ensure essential vitamins and minerals remain adequately supplied, particularly if bucket feed is reduced.Keep fibre at the core Continue to provide access to suitable forage (hay or haylage) to support digestive health, especially during restricted grazing.Provide constant access to fresh water and salt Increased grass intake and rising temperatures can alter hydration needs.Access to suitable forage remains important, especially when grazing is restricted.Looking for feeding advice?At Redpost Equestrian we stock a wide range of horse feeds and supplements.
