HELLO AND WELCOME TO THE SUMMER EDITION OF THE HORSEMART MAGAZINE! Summer is a great time of year to enjoy your horse, with the longer nights and warmer weather. However, Summer can bring it’s problems. In this issue we are helping you with various problems that may arise during this time of year. For example we have tackled those pesky flies and helped you to manage your moody mare!

If you’ve been short of straw, President of the British Hay and Straw Merchants Association, Mike Evision, explains the probable causes in this edition. However, there is nothing stopping you keeping your horse nicely groomed! Look at our Tidy Up editorial for guidance.

Event Horses THE EQUINE TRIATHLETES

Watching the amazing horses competing at Badminton makes you realise what complete, all round athletes they truly are. With the balance and suppleness of dressage, the speed and power of cross country followed by the precision and effort of the show jumping phase these horses are, without doubt, the triathletes of the equestrian world.

Human athletes would not consider their training regime complete without several sessions in the gym each week to work on specific muscle groups, to build core strength, to improve their performance. Similarly with equine athletes, sports science has made training more effective with reduced levels of wear and tear from endless distance work.

THE IMPORTANCE OF FORAGE IN THE EQUINE DIET Grass, hay and haylage, known as forage, make up the largest portion of fibre in a horse’s diet. Horses are known as trickle feeders; their digestive system is designed to be almost continuously taking in small amounts of food.

negative effect on a horse’s respiratory health.

Respiratory disorders and airway inflammation can cause poor performance.

Horses naturally graze for up to 18 hours a day. Whilst this is not always possible for stabled horses, it is important that they have access to an adequate supply of forage to keep the digestive and metabolic systems healthy. They need to eat a minimum of 1.5% of their bodyweight in forage every day to maintain a healthy condition.

High temperature steaming can kill up to 99% of mould and bacteria and reduce respirable dust by 98%. Unlike the traditional method of soaking hay, where nutrients are lost, steamed hay retains its mineral and protein content and is also highly palatable for horses.

Why do horses need to eat forage?

For more information, please visit https://haygain.co.uk.

When eating forage horses chew a lot more than when eating concentrate feeds. Whilst chewing they produce saliva which contains a natural stomach acid buffer, bicarbonate, which helps to neutralise the acids in the stomach. Too much acid in the stomach predisposes horses to gastric ulcers as the acid destroys the stomach lining. Competition horses are generally at a much higher risk of developing ulcers than companions and hacks, so it is therefore very important that owners do all they can to reduce the risk of their horse developing this issue.

As forage is digested it is passed through the short intestine to the long intestine where fermentation breaks down the fibre.

This produces fatty acids that the horse can utilise for energy. A by-product of this process is heat, so it is especially important to ensure horses have enough forage during cold weather to keep warm.

Why does steaming hay help?

Forage can be negatively affected by the weather and storage conditions. At lower moisture levels forage is exposed to plant respiration and microorganisms whilst at higher moisture levels mould is more likely to grow. Even good quality forage contains high levels of respirable particles that can cause airway inflammation.

As well as making a horse more susceptible to colic, forage that has been contaminated with bacteria and mould can have a 18

THE SHORTAGE OF

According to the British Hay & Straw Merchants Association there is a severe shortage of straw because of the increased demand from power stations.

Records over the last 28 years indicate that there has only been one other severe straw shortage year. President of the BHSMA Mike Evision said that demand from straw burning power stations and poor growing conditions are some of the reasons for the shortage.

Most suppliers remain confident that they can fulfill contracts, although currently there is very little surplus. The

20

overall yield of straw from the last crop harvest was a third down on the normal average.

Mr Evision explained that this was caused by poor growing conditions and the situation was made worse with prolonged wet periods during harvest.

The consequence of this was that many farmers who usually lay down straw to be baled decided to chop it as it was a

remote likelihood that it would be baled quickly.

Unfortunately the situation has not been helped by the increasing demand for straw over the last two to three years.

There are now four power stations that require nearly a million tonnes of straw and demand has steadily increased from the continent in recent years.

They also congregate in the corner of horse’s eyes, feeding on the liquid, carrying bacteria and causing infections. If you see maggots around your horse’s eyes then a fly may have hatched an egg in an open wound - this is known as myiasis or fly sterik and should be reported to your vet immediately.

Some horses suffer badly with sweet itch, this is an allergic reaction to midge bites. This results in skin lesions that are further aggravated by the horse rubbing them.

Fly rug - this will protect your horse in the field. They are lightweight and reflective, keeping your horse covered but cool!

Fly masks - this will protect you horse’s eyes. However, you may struggle to keep it on them as many horses have a talent for removing these!

Fly veil - Great for ridden work. Or even one of the relatively new ride-on fly rugs if your horse is particularly sensitive.

Insect repellent sprays - There are many different repellents available on the market, designed for use with horses, although opinions vary on how effective they are. Deet is the most common ingredient in these ‘non-natural’ insect repellents. Some people choose to make their own repellent sprays but if you compete in affiliated competition you need to take care you are not using any prohibited substances on your horse.

For your horse, daily schooling sessions are essential. You can build their flexibility through riding figures of eight, circling and riding over cavaletti.

Riding up and down hills condition muscles.

For yourself, riding is great exercise but you also need to get involved in strength training, cardiovascular work and flexibility exercises. A lot of riders will take yoga or pilates classes to improve their core muscles. If you can, depending on the weather, try to do

2. Communication is key

Talk to your trainer! As the show schedules start to trickle in, sit and review them with your trainer. Choose your shows wisely, if this is your first horse show season, pick shows close to home and ones with more relaxed standards. Consult with your trainer and listen to their advice.

3. Practice makes perfect

As with anything you have to practice.

Practice aids muscle memory which will come in handy when those nerves kick in on the day! Your muscles will remember what they are supposed to do even if your hands are shaking.

SHOW TIPS jumping. Memorise the layout as you would at a horse show and memorise and practice your dressage tests. The best way to prepare for a horse show is to prepare for all outcomes, including things that may not happen.

4. Check your tack

Don’t leave this until last minute. You may go and look at your tack and realise you need a new tack for the show ring. Checking for wear and tear on your saddles and bridles is also a safety issue. If your tack looks fine, stock up on conditioning oil to give it that show ring shine.

5. Check your trailer

Take your vehicle and trailer in for a service. You need to make sure it is checked from top to toe so that you can be safe in the knowing that it’s safe to tow your horses. Have the oil changed on your vehicle, get all of your tyres checked, brake lights and electrical circuits too.

6. A glowing coat

A glowing coat can’t be faked. It takes many attentive grooming sessions and a good diet to get your horse’s coat to glow. Take your time to achieve this.
