Slow feeders are one of the most underrated tools in summer horse management. Here's why 👇

When horses eat hay too fast, they take in large amounts of dry forage in a short window. In hot weather, this can actually increase the risk of choke and digestive upset because horses tend to drink less between big meals.

A slow feeder or hay net extends eating time, mimics more natural grazing behavior, keeps the gut moving consistently, and reduces the amount of time horses spend standing idle without forage.

In dry summer conditions where pasture is limited, this matters more than ever. 🙌

Bandana? Check. Boots? Check. Best attitude on the trail? Absolutely. 🥾🩷

Handwashing, regular vet visits, staying current on parasite prevention, and keeping living spaces clean all go a long way. Protecting your pet’s health helps protect your family’s health too. Your veterinary team is here to help you stay informed.
