Congratulations to our Director of Nutrition, Jane van Lennep, who has welcomed a foal. The filly, pictured here at 4 days old, is called Auriane. The mare, Aurla, is doing very well after having her first foal. Aurla is currently fed 8kg per day of Simple System feeds to maintain her incredible condition. Aurla is fed Lucie Nuts, Red Bag Grass Pellets, Perform & Shine and Total Eclipse. Congratulations, Jane!
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
