Horse care during the state of alert

 

Mandatory rest can be a complete challenge, as for many horses, that means a sudden and dramatic change in activity, handling, and nutrition, which is never easy.

This sudden change in both diet and routine is one reason why unplanned rest in the box can pose a significant risk of colic. Therefore, we must know how we can avoid it.

The horse's mobility is very important to ensure proper digestive health. As far as possible, we must take the horse out to walk, trot or even gallop.

Feeding an adequate diet will be essential to keeping the horse calm during his period of confinement. Feed a high content of fiber and forage with very little or no concentrate, as starchy carbohydrates at this stage will only increase the horse's energy and weight, neither of which are desirable in these circumstances.

It can be useful to divide the forage, water, and salt around the box of the horse, as this helps them move smoothly as they "graze", which helps to optimize digestive function. We must ensure that the horse has access to fresh water at all times.

Supplementing with daily prebiotics and probiotics is recommended to stabilize and strengthen the gut, which is vital for immunity and digestion.

Prolonged stalling can be frustrating for any horse or pony, especially those less used to it, as horses evolved as herd animals and are highly social. Try to make it possible for him to see other horses and not be isolated.
