WHY YOUR HORSE NEEDS EXTRA SUPPORT THIS FALL
It's dark earlier, temperatures are dropping and leaves are falling from the trees. Autumn is here! During this change of season, it's important to give your horse extra support with our fall supplements for horses. Because just like humans, horses have seasonal needs.
4 additional needs of horses during fall
You can offer your horse extra support in several areas during fall:
- Immunity boost to prevent sickness
- Joint support for strong joints
- Liver detox for healthy liver function
- Respiratory support for good airway function
How do I improve my horse's immunity?
During autumn, your horse's resistance can be strained by changing temperatures and increased exposure to pathogens such as viruses, bacteria and parasites. To protect your horse against this, a good defense is essential. We therefore recommend that you give your horse a preventive cure of Immunotop at the start of autumn.
Immunotop provides horses with the support they need to boost their immunity and maintain their condition. It contains concentrations of high-quality herbs and vitamin B12 to support your horse's natural resistance. In addition, it also contains the trace element zinc, which is important for the production of immune cells. Finally, it was enriched with Beta-glucans. These are dietary fibers found in the cell walls of yeast, algae, bacteria and fungi. They help to enhance your horse's natural, innate and adaptive immune responses.
Why do I need to support my horse's joints?
Colder temperatures have an effect on your horse's joints. They can cause joint stiffness which will have an effect on your horse's performance. It is therefore recommended during the change of season to give a preventive cure Top-Joint for joint support and smooth movements, even in colder weather.
Does your horse have a chronic joint disorder? If so, the wet weather can cause a flare-up. In these horses Pro-Motion is recommended. This is our most advanced joint supplement to significantly improve activity and performance in horses with chronic conditions. One of the key ingredients in Pro-Motion is green-lipped mussel. It supports connective tissue, tendons and cartilage as well as promoting the development of joint fluid. It is like an all-in-one solution. Discover all about this powerful ingredient here.
Why is a liver detox recommended after summer?
The liver plays a crucial role in the removal of waste products. After a busy summer season, your horse may need extra support to cleanse and restore his body. Therefore, after the summer give a cure of Hemachol to keep your horse's liver and bile function working optimally, which is essential for proper metabolism and energy supply.
Hemachol is a liquid solution that stimulates the production of red blood cells, supports the detoxifying action of the liver and accelerates overall recovery. Thanks to the increase in the number of red blood cells, more oxygen is available in the body, allowing horses to show more energy, strength and endurance. So your horse is all set for the indoor season!
How can I support my horse's respiratory system?
Respiratory disorders are a common problem in horses during seasonal transitions. This is because the arrival of autumn causes an increase in moisture in the air, which can cause respiratory problems in horses, especially if they are in damp or dusty stalls. To best support your horse and prevent lung problems, you can take the following precautions:
- Allow your horse plenty of pasture to reduce dusty barn hours
- Moisten the hay to minimize the release of dust
- Provide good ventilation and avoid drafts
- Choose a less dusty stable floor such as flax and wood shavings
- Regularly spray the riding arena with water to reduce dust clouds
Although the above measures greatly reduce the risk of respiratory problems, in the case of coughing horses, horses with wheezing or horses that are very sensitive to dust, it is advisable to support the respiratory system in advance with Respitop. It was specially developed for horses with dry cough to help the respiratory system function optimally. Natural ingredients such as thyme and eucalyptus dissolve excess mucus and clear the airways.
