🐴 DAY 3 OF EQUIFEST! 🌿

What a fantastic show it’s been so far! We’ve loved catching up with so many of our existing clients and meeting plenty of new faces along the way.

There have been some great conversations around what to feed, how much to feed, and making sure your horse is getting the right amount of fibre for their individual needs. 💚

If you’re at Equifest today, make sure you come and see the Fiber Fresh team — ask us your feeding questions, have a chat and find out which Fiber Fresh feed best fits your horse.

📍 Hall B – Site 109

See you there! 🐴🌿

Is your horse running on empty? 🌾

Picture this.
It's 6am, you've just pulled your horse in from a night in the yard, and you're tacking up for an early ride before work. Breakfast can wait until later… right?

Here's the thing. Your horse's stomach has been producing acid all night, and it doesn't stop just because the feed bin is empty. Horses are designed to graze for up to 16 hours a day, so there's almost always fibre in there to soak up and buffer that acid. Take the fibre away, and the acid goes to work on the stomach lining instead.

Now add exercise. As your horse moves, that acid splashes up onto the sensitive upper part of the stomach, which has very little natural protection. Over time, this is one of the key ways gastric ulcers develop, and it's more common than many owners realise.

The good news?
A little fibre before you ride makes a big difference. A small feed around 20–30 minutes before work forms a protective "fibre mat" that helps keep acid where it belongs.

This is exactly why we created FiberProtect. It's ACVM registered and proven to help in both the treatment and prevention of gastric ulcers in horses, so you can feed with confidence knowing the science stands behind it. For most horses, we recommend a minimum of 2kg per day, alongside plenty of access to forage and no long gaps between meals.

So next time you're heading out for that early ride, give your horse a little something first. Their stomach will thank you. 💚

Has your horse ever dealt with ulcers? We'd love to hear what's worked for you in the comments 👇

Keep the feed the same at shows 🐴🏆

Show season is here, and while it's tempting to switch things up for competition day, your horse's gut would prefer you didn't!

A horse's hindgut is home to billions of microbes that are finely tuned to digest their usual diet. A sudden change in feed, even for a weekend, can upset that balance and increase the risk of colic, loose manure, or a horse that's off their feed.
Travel, stress and change all put extra pressure on the digestive system.

Unfamiliar surroundings, long trips in the float and show-day nerves are plenty for your horse to cope with. Keeping their diet the same during these times gives their gut one less thing to adjust to, which supports better performance on the day and a faster recovery afterwards.

Fibre diversity helps too. Feeding a mix of fibre sources supports a wider range of gut microbes, making digestion more resilient when life on the road gets busy:
🌿 FiberEzy combines timothy and lucerne for a well-rounded fibre blend
🌾 Meadow is made from horse-specific grasses for a natural, grass-based option

Our top tips:
✅ Take your horse's regular Fiber Fresh feeds with you, enough for the whole trip plus a little extra
✅ Stick to their normal feeding times as closely as you can
✅ Keep up a minimum of 2kg per day, which we recommend for most horses
✅ Thinking of adding a new feed to your horses diet? Introduce them gradually over 7–14 days, well before the show

Consistency is one of the simplest ways to keep your horse happy, healthy and ready to perform. 💚
