partnership is to take a holistic approach - if I want to do for my partner is the best horse, along with our personal relationship with many more also of very great importance. These to me are first and foremost the hoof care, saddle and bridle, dental care, proper housing arte as much as possible and of course - the feeding.
Recently I attended a very good feeding Seminar by Dr. Christina Fritz, which confirmed my attitude and my knowledge has expanded, given me a lot of additional input and am also entirely of "false starts" on which I've moved some time, has cured. The KISS principle
- Keep it Safe and Simple (there are other interpretations, and actually comes from computer science) will cover me in the feeding. Even though the relationships can be complex, but is fashionable simplicity, and when we turn on our common sense, it is also very logical. I recall here a statement by Linda Parelli, that Simple is often the truth.
simple terms to me means good feeding:
hay - hay and again Hay (preferably in close-knit hay nets), plus some oats (or rolled barley), straw to chew, and to cover any defects, a simple little hand full of good mineral supplement and maybe a shot glass EM for the intestinal flora.
It goes without saying that the hay should be of very good quality, ideally from a late first section of a possible non-loaded species-rich area, and is also appropriate that the No 1 grass forage by horses.
oats is still before the horse grain and is very well tolerated. Certain breeds and Robust Haflinger, Spaniards and Arabs tolerate barley partly better, because it appears that the fatty acids in oats less well metabolize können.Gequetschte or flaked barley is tolerated by virtually all breeds very well.
mineral supplements, there are definitely some good - I'm now looking for a break back to my good proven biological algae from Iceland, despite slightly higher iodine content.
The feeding Seminar by Dr. Christina Fritz way, I can heartily recommend that all equine friends!
