To be inform of the last Royal Horse news (only in French), write down yourself :
I have an elderly horse :
Horses begin to show signs of ageing from approximately 20 years old onwards.
At their stage in life, they need nutrition suited to their ageing body, able to prevent certain functional disorders.
It is of course essential to build a shelter for horses out in the field.
Care must be taken in the construction if the horse is to use it !
The first rule is to make the opening on the opposite side to the prevailing winds. Then the horse will be happy to go in.
It should also be big enough for all your horses and/or ponys to get in at one time, or individually if you want to avoid problems related to “dominated” and “dominant”.
The intestinal flora balance is particularly delicate in the horse.
Colic (intestinal spasms) may be caused by a number of different factors :
- Irregular feeds
- Excessive feeds
- Insufficient number of feeds
- Fluctuating rations ...
