Feeding a Horse Commercial Feeds – What to Consider

January 26, 2010 by Stephanie Krahl

The Horses of Soulful Equine

Feeding horses commercially prepared feeds is popular in the equine industry because it’s a convenience.

You believe you’re doing what’s best for your equine companion.  However, have you considered that possibly the contents of that nicely packaged equine product could be harmful?

The intent of this article is not to bash particular name brands or give you complete solutions but rather to provide information to promote awareness about feeding horses commercially prepared food.

If you haven’t been concerned about how many horse feed recalls there have been in the last decade, it may be time to think about it and choose your horse products wisely. By wisely, I mean not just from a nutritional standpoint but also from a safety standpoint.

Stress – Just a Factor or the Underlying Cause?

During certain times of the year, dramatic weather changes can occur quickly.  One day it’s beautiful, 71 degrees and sunny, and the next day there’s a drastic 40 degree drop in the temperature.

That happened here in Texas over Christmas in 2009.  A drastic drop in the barometric pressure started to occur the day before Christmas Eve.  On Christmas Eve day a blizzard blew in bringing a heavy snow/rain and sleet mix with 45 mph winds.  For a native Texan, it was miserable.

Drastic weather changes can cause problems for both your horse and you.  When the barometer drops dramatically prior to a big storm, some horses, as well as people, can experience ill effects.
