“Hard work and determination are things you definitely need to have, but you need to keep it fun too. Winter is long and hard, so you need to keep it fun for yourself and your horse” – Floriann Gilston on how to keep motivation up during the winter months
We also hear from Spillers’ nutritionist Vanessa Allen and Redwings’ lead vet Nicky Jarvis, who provide us with useful insight on how to best feed senior horses.
“The main part of a horse’s diet, whatever their primary source of calories might be, has a huge effect – if they’ve gone from usually eating 6kg overnight, down to suddenly only managing 5kg… if that is happening every day, it’s obviously a huge portion of their diet that’s being lost” – Vanessa Allen
