When temperatures rise, most horses regularly head out to the pastures again. For active and sporty horses, the tournament season begins at the same time. With pasture time and the demands of competitions and events, the nutrient requirements and the amount of concentrated feed needed by the horse change. As with any feed change - in spring as in autumn - the rider should pay attention to a gentle introduction to grazing and an adapted supply. Because pasture grass can upset the horses' system. Intensive training can also disrupt the gastrointestinal flora and metabolism. Now, the nutrient and carbohydrate supply of the horses should be monitored to avoid diarrhea or even colic. Vital horses that are well cared for all around are better protected against diseases such as laminitis, fecal water, or diarrhea. Therefore, in addition to the grass on the pasture, a suitable concentrated feed, additional nutrient supply, as well as always fresh hay and water, should be part of your horse's diet.
Mineral feed as a supplement to the pasture ration
Out on the pasture, horses usually have enough food and thus nutrients available all day with grass, various plants, and herbs. Horse owners should ensure that the animals also consume enough trace elements and minerals. Our recommendation for this: Feed your horse Mifuma Mineral Premium! With its balanced composition of macro and trace elements and optimal vitaminization as a mineral feed, it wonderfully complements the daily grass ration and gives horse owners the assurance that their four-legged friend is well-nourished - even during pasture time. As throughout the year, horses should always have fresh hay and water available - especially in hot temperatures.
Pellets and mueslis as basic crib feed
The Mifuma Elite Pellet with its selected and easily digestible ingredients is an excellent basic crib feed for pasture time. This premium feed is particularly rich in nutrients and energy and can also be excellently supplemented with grains. It stands out due to its high-quality composition and high vitamin content for a strong immune system. Sporty, active horses are also well provided for with this horse feed for high performance demands, where strength and endurance are important. Those who prefer it "colorful" feed their sports partner the Aktiv-Müsli with processed grains and a combination of various protein suppliers. Its structure promotes salivation and, together with a prebiotic, supports a healthy and efficient digestive system. Whether you prefer Elite Pellet or Aktiv-Müsli: both feeds can be supplemented with grains as an energy source.
Extra proteins for tournament sports
Vital and fit horses are optimally prepared for competition, which also includes an adapted diet. Mifuma Linamix ensures improved muscle building and maintenance through valuable proteins from linseed and peas, as well as a high content of vitamin E. Willingness to perform, strength, and endurance are promoted by omega-3 fatty acids and isomaltulose, and quick regeneration is supported. So nothing stands in the way of achieving a top place at the next tournament.
