Should I soak my horse's hay?
Why soak hay for horses? Soaking hay is usually done in order to reduce sugar levels for overweight horses or those with metabolic issues such as laminitis, pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID) / Cushing's Disease and insulin dysregulation (IR). Soaking hay is also carried out for horses with respiratory issues such as asthma, COPD and pollen related allergies.
Does my horse need a hay replacer?
There are many scenarios in which you may be considering feeding a direct replacement for hay or haylage.

Forage Brix are an easy and convenient way to increase your horse's fibre intake either in the field, or stable. They are ideal for providing environmental enrichment, especially for those spending more time stabled due to inclement weather, wet muddy paddocks, or box rest.
Colic in horses - is this due to a design fault?
Horses are prone to colic, especially those that are stabled.
Why is this? One in 10 horses kept under reasonable conditions, stabled some or a lot of the time, will get colic each year. However, this is not inevitable.
