As spring grass is in full swing, it's a good time to take a closer look at your horse's mineral intake โ€” including magnesium!

Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in hundreds of processes throughout your horse's body. But what does it actually do, and why should we pay attention to it?

๐Ÿ’ช 1. MUSCLE FUNCTION
Magnesium plays an important role in normal muscle contraction, relaxation and function. It's particularly important for horses that are regularly working and training.

๐Ÿง  2. NERVE FUNCTION
It helps support normal nerve transmission and communication between nerves and muscles.

โšก 3. ENERGY PRODUCTION
Magnesium is involved in the enzyme reactions that help your horse produce and use energy.

๐Ÿฆด 4. BONE HEALTH
A large proportion of the body's magnesium is stored in the skeleton, where it contributes to normal bone structure and mineral balance.

๐ŸŒฑ SO, WHAT ABOUT SPRING GRASS?
Here's something interesting!
The mineral content of pasture can change depending on soil conditions, fertiliser use and how quickly the grass is growing.

Research from the Rutgers Equine Science Centre notes that excessive potassium in soil can reduce magnesium concentrations in forage.

That means lush-looking pasture doesn't automatically guarantee your horse is receiving the right balance of minerals. In fact, it is the opposite!

Whilst true magnesium deficiency is uncommon in horses with an adequate forage-based diet, some symptoms like fizzy, spooky behaviour, can indicate a magnesium imbalance.

Along with many other important minerals, Elite Equine Nutrition's COMPETE contains quality, highly absorbable magnesium which some clients have found to help support horses with a dietary imbalance making them calmer and less spooky and therefore much more fun to ride, especially in Spring!

When we talk about salt for horses, most people think about replacing electrolytes after a hard workout or a big sweat.

But did you know your horse needs salt EVERY DAY โ€” even when they're not sweating heavily?

๐Ÿง‚ Here's why salt matters!

Sodium and chloride are essential minerals that help maintain fluid balance, nerve function and normal muscle function.

And as we head deeper into spring, it's worth paying attention to what's in your horse's paddock.

๐ŸŒฑ Lush spring grass can be rich in potassium but relatively low in sodium. That means your horse may be getting plenty of some minerals while still needing a reliable source of sodium and chloride.

๐Ÿ’ง So, how much salt does your horse need?

As a general baseline, a mature 500 kg horse at rest needs around 1 - 2 tablespoons of salt per day. Horses in regular work, particularly those sweating heavily, may need considerably more.

Remember to account for salt already supplied by your horse's feed and supplements.

๐Ÿง‚ What's the best salt to feed?

Plain white salt (sodium chloride) is a simple, practical option.

Adding a measured amount of loose salt to the daily feed makes it easier to monitor how much your horse actually consumes.

โ—ผ๏ธWhat About a Salt Block?

Salt blocks are not a substitute for plain salt. Horses will only lick them when they are already salt deficient and cannot consume enough to make a difference.

Of course, always provide plenty of fresh, clean water!

Here's your spring reminder: Don't just think about what you're adding to your horse's feed. Think about what might be missing, too. โค๏ธ๐Ÿด
