Hi everyone it's still really busy for Spirit and I here in Gloucestershire and Spirit is doing really well fuelled by her Simple System horse feeds! I'm just gearing up to travel up to County Durham for a charity fundraising demonstration over two days on the 29th and 30th of November as I write this blog and I'm hugely excited because I've never been up that far before! I guess one of the things I'm most looking forward to is the demo itself and then doing a bit of exploring whilst I'm up there but I must say I wish I was taking Spirit. And having to borrow two horses from riding for the disabled there instead but one of the local Intelligent Horsemanship instructors is lending me her round pen for my demo which will be fantastic to keep everyone safe!

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
