Following the great success of our first "Equine Care and Management Evening" in Suffolk, we are repeating the experience in Essex. The details for this evening and how to order tickets are under the "News" heading on this website sub headed "Events". Our evening, organised on our behalf by Tracy enables horse owners to meet a variety of practitioners and therapists, each of which will give a short introduction to their skill and the benefits for horse and owner. There will be ample time for discussion with all the specialists before and after the meeting and during the refreshment break. After the break we will be treated to Jane van Lennep's novel trip through the digestive system of the horse called "Bucket to Barrow". This arms us with enough knowledge and confidence to make basic nutritional decisions on behalf of our horses. This is such a superb evening for the horse enthusiast I am sure you will not regret joining us.
In the wild, with unrestricted access to pasture, horses would spend the summer “stocking up†by eating nutritious grass - and plenty of it - to aid them in building a thick coat and laying down excess weight...
Horses’ teeth change throughout their lives - they are continually growing and continually wearing, as they chew and grind their grazing and forage.
Grass has the potential to grow all year, which is different from many other plants. Certain things are necessary for this growth, but if they are not met, the grass will be dormant, waiting for conditions to improve.Â
