Top Tips for Feeding Good Doers  

Never starve an overweight horse. Not only can this cause serious digestive upsets, but it can also put your horse at risk of a condition called hyperlipaemia.

Prevention is better than cure; be very vigilant at high risk times and restrict your horse’s access to spring grass before it causes a problem.

Feed the correct amount of a low calorie feed rather than a reduced amount of a maintenance/competition feed.

Choose your forage carefully. This will be the bulk of your horse’s diet so ensure it is appropriate for his dietary needs.

Don’t forget vitamins and minerals – many a horse branded lazy has developed a new lease of life once they receive a fully balanced diet!
