If you've been following us for a while, you'll probably know that when our Cookie appears on a post, I'm about to talk about Cushing's. ๐Ÿ˜‰

And yep - itโ€™s that time again โ€“ the days are shortening, coats are changing, and the seasonal ACTH rise is underway. That rise happens in healthy horses too, but in a horse with Cushingโ€™s/PPID, the response can be exaggerated.

Which means Iโ€™m on PPID watch. Not because every fluffy coat means Cushingโ€™s, but because this is the time of year when some of those little changes can start joining the dots.

๐—ฆ๐—ผ โ€“ ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐—ต๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐—ฒโ€ฆ
๐Ÿด slower to shed, coat becoming thicker, curlier, or just seems out of sync with the season
๐Ÿด not as bright or cheery as they once were
๐Ÿด drinking or weeing more than before
๐Ÿด losing topline or muscle condition
๐Ÿด struggling with seasonal changes more than they used to
๐Ÿด becoming unexpectedly footy โ€“ or had an unexplained laminitic episode.

Agreed, just one of those things on its own doesn't equal PPID. But several of them beginning to appear together? Hmm...

Thatโ€™s when Iโ€™d stop blaming age, weather, coat change or โ€œjust one of those thingsโ€ โ€“ and start looking at PPID โ€“ because PPID is a pattern.

๐—ฆ๐—ผ ๐˜„๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜โ€™๐˜€ ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฎ๐—น๐—น๐˜† ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ฝ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด?
Hereโ€™s the bit that makes PPID much easier to understand โ€“ at its root itโ€™s a gradual decline in dopamine signalling.

We all know dopamine as the โ€œrewardโ€ chemical โ€“ we eat chocolate and it makes us feel happy! But dopamine has lots of jobs, and one of the important ones in the horse is helping keep this particular part of the pituitary gland โ€“ the body's "master control centre" that produces and releases key hormones โ€“ under control.

Think of it as part of the braking system โ€“ as those signals weaken, the brake becomes less effective, hormone regulation becomes less precise and ACTH can rise more than it would do normally. And that affects much more than simply coat growth โ€“ weโ€™re talking energy, metabolism, immune function, muscle condition, and hoof health.

Which means PPID isnโ€™t simply a hairy horse syndrome - it's a whole-horse endocrine condition. And come spring, or late summer/early autumn, when ACTH is naturally rising anyway, that seasonal response can become much more pronounced in the PPID horse.

๐—ช๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜ ๐˜๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด?
Now, this is one area where I get a bit of a twitch.

Early spring and autumn are the typical times when the ACTH naturally rises โ€“ so if youโ€™re testing now, youโ€™re going to see higher numbers. Thing is though - ACTH naturally changes through the year for many reasons, i.e. it also rises from stress / vet visits / pain / herd drama / someone sneezed wrongโ€ฆ

So yes you absolutely can test now when your vet sends you a heads up about a free test โ€“ and we have seasonally adjusted reference ranges to account for that. Personally though, I still like the diagnosis to match the horse โ€“ not just the blood result.

If I was already seeing several PPID clues together, as we did with Cookie, for sure Iโ€™d test. But if an otherwise healthy horse came back with a borderline or higher result during the seasonal rise? I wouldn't rush into a lifelong diagnosis from that one result alone.

There are twelve months in a year โ€“ so where appropriate Iโ€™d want a retest outside the typical higher seasonal cycle.

The blood result is only part of the picture - the horse is the rest of it.

If I suspected PPID, vet and appropriate testing first. Then I'd look at how best to support the horse living with PPID โ€“ not simply the diagnosis.

That's exactly why we formulated ๐—–๐˜‚๐˜€๐—ต๐—ง๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ฐ all those years ago โ€“ in fact, it was one of the very first EquiNatural blends we ever produced.

And because medication changes the picture, we have two versions โ€“ and choosing between them is really straightforward:

โ€ข Not on Prascend? โ†’ ๐—–๐˜‚๐˜€๐—ต๐—ง๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ฐ-๐Ÿญ
โ€ข On Prascend? โ†’ ๐—–๐˜‚๐˜€๐—ต๐—ง๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ฐ-๐Ÿฎ

That's it.

๐ŸŒฟ ๐—–๐˜‚๐˜€๐—ต๐—ง๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ฐ-๐Ÿญ provides natural nutritional support for dopamine pathways alongside wider endocrine and metabolic support.

๐ŸŒฟ ๐—–๐˜‚๐˜€๐—ต๐—ง๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ฐ-๐Ÿฎ is specifically formulated without the dopaminergic herbs, allowing Prascend to do its job while the blend supports the wider systems around it.

Same horse-supporting mission - slightly different route.

And there's a very personal reason why CushTonic exists in the first place.

Our first PPID pony was little ancient Dinky, back in, gosh โ€“ very early 2000s. He was my step-daughter Tabatha's first lead-rein pony.

We'd only had him around six weeks when, quite literally overnight, he went from happily walking out to seriously lame in all four feet with acute laminitis. Looking back there had been clues โ€“ his winter coat hadn't shifted, and he was drinking and weeing excessively.

We had him tested. PPID.

D***s sent me down my first PPID rabbit hole โ€“ and ultimately inspired the original CushTonic formula.

Then came Cookie, Tabby's second pony โ€“ the sweetest little hairy cob with a fabulous polar-bear winter coat. But in 2014, aged only fourteen, her coat simply refused to shed; by August it was still duvet-thick and curly. She'd become lethargic and, very unlike her, just seemed... sad.

Tested. PPID.

Same condition โ€“ but two very different ponies telling us in two very different ways. But a pattern all the same.

Butโ€ฆ
โ€ข Not every hairy horse has PPID.
โ€ข Not every horse who drinks more has PPID.
โ€ข Not every horse losing a little topline has PPID.

Yet when several little things about the horse you know so well begin changing together? Again... Hmmโ€ฆ

September doesn't cause PPID, and a horse growing more coat as the days shorten isn't suddenly a Cushing's horse. But - September can make an existing PPID picture much easier to see.

A question we get asked often at EquiNatural - "๐˜ž๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ต'๐˜ด ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ต ๐˜ด๐˜ถ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฑ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ต ๐˜ง๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ธ๐˜ฆ๐˜ช๐˜จ๐˜ฉ๐˜ต ๐˜Œ๐˜”๐˜š ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜บ?"

A perfectly reasonable question. After all, if you've just been told your pony has Equine Metabolic Syndrome, or you're worried because the crest is getting more solid or the weight simply won't shift despite feeding less and less, it's only natural to look for something that might help.

Meanwhile, I was recently listening to a fascinating discussion on the use of GLP-1 medications for obesity in humans, and one particular sentence made a lot of sense to me:

"๐˜ฟ๐™ค๐™ฃ'๐™ฉ ๐™ฅ๐™ช๐™ฉ ๐™ฉ๐™๐™š ๐™ฅ๐™ค๐™ฌ๐™š๐™ง ๐™ž๐™ฃ ๐™ฉ๐™๐™š ๐™™๐™ง๐™ช๐™œ - ๐™ฅ๐™ช๐™ฉ ๐™ฉ๐™๐™š ๐™ฅ๐™ค๐™ฌ๐™š๐™ง ๐™ž๐™ฃ ๐™ฉ๐™๐™š ๐™ฅ๐™–๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™š๐™ฃ๐™ฉ."

And me being me, I immediately found myself rewriting it in my head:

"๐˜ฟ๐™ค๐™ฃ'๐™ฉ ๐™ฅ๐™ช๐™ฉ ๐™ฉ๐™๐™š ๐™ฅ๐™ค๐™ฌ๐™š๐™ง ๐™ž๐™ฃ ๐™ฉ๐™๐™š ๐™จ๐™ช๐™ฅ๐™ฅ๐™ก๐™š๐™ข๐™š๐™ฃ๐™ฉ - ๐™ฅ๐™ช๐™ฉ ๐™ฉ๐™๐™š ๐™ฅ๐™ค๐™ฌ๐™š๐™ง ๐™ž๐™ฃ ๐™ฉ๐™๐™š ๐™ค๐™ฌ๐™ฃ๐™š๐™ง."

Because although humans and horses are very different, the biology behind healthy metabolism speaks a similar language when it comes to "movement".

And despite all the good intentions we have when it comes to exercising our EMS pony, biology will only respond to what actually happens. I know this all too well from our MacAttack caretaker days (he wasn't mine) - no-one else was caring for this chap until I stepped in, but being a semi-feral thug (before we fixed his KPU self), albeit just 13.2hh, he had the strength and determination of a rhino and was way too strong for me to risk taking him out for walks where the public - or people's cars - might have been involved! So Mac stayed put - and porky - in his field.

Now, before anyone starts feeling guilty, I also know all about broken resolutions when life gets in the way. We work, there's the school run, then by the time we've seen to Ned, it's dark by the time we get home and we still haven't got to Tescos. The idea of riding for an hour can feel completely impossible - been there a thousand times.

And then there's the know-it-all yardies thinking it's their place to tell you to ride every day, or lunge for at least 45 minutes, or that you need a proper fitness programme.

No wonder we give up before we've even started - because perfection is exhausting. But here's the good news. Biology isn't looking for perfection - all it needs is consistency - and it could be that the smallest changes are the ones that stick. Tiny wins - small, repeatable actions that gradually become normal life.

And when it comes to EMS pony, don't beat yourself up with "๐˜๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฐ ๐˜ ๐˜ง๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜ฆ๐˜น๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ค๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ฎ ๐˜ง๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ณ ๐˜ฆ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜บ ๐˜ฅ๐˜ข๐˜บ?" Think more "๐˜๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ ๐˜ข๐˜ฃ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ต ๐˜ ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ฅ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ฎ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ต ๐˜ง๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ ๐˜ง๐˜ช๐˜ง๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ฎ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ถ๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ด?"

Maybe itโ€™s a wander round the lanes while planning supper in your head. Or a lap of the village after youโ€™ve mucked out. Or letting the kids ride their bikes alongside.

None sound impressive, agreed - but metabolically they're huge. Pony won't know it, but meanwhile muscles are contracting, energy is being used, glucose is being cleared from the bloodstream, insulin resistance is gradually improving, and inflammatory signals begin to change.

Better still, the body starts adapting to movement because that's what healthy bodies do. There are no extra points because the exercise happened in a fancy arena rather than a wellies walk along a quiet country lane. Movement is movement.

Now, before anyone panics, this isn't me saying supplements don't matter - of course they matter. Our MetaTonic was designed specifically to support the metabolic pathways that become challenged in EMS horses and ponies, using targeted phytonutrients to support healthier blood glucose/insulin responses, and inflammatory balance - all incredibly valuable.

But they're only one piece of the picture, because supplements can only ๐˜ด๐˜ถ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ต physiology - they don't ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฑ๐˜ญ๐˜ข๐˜ค๐˜ฆ physiology.

A supplement can't create movement - and this is the important bit when I was listening to the lecture. The speaker talked about medications helping people build momentum, but she was absolutely clear about one thing - without behaviour change, nothing truly changes.

Same in our horse world. No supplement has ever put a headcollar on a pony. No herb has ever unclipped a lead rope. No carefully formulated blend has ever persuaded a pony to leave their field and wander happily down the lane - that's still down to us.

So be kind to yourself! Think more "๐˜ž๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ต *could* ๐˜ ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฐ?" and ignore the guilt (and the yard opinions) over why pony hasn't been ridden hard for an hour. What's the one thing you could realistically manage?

It might be just 15 minutes a day, or maybe it's two evenings a week - brilliant! Two walks a week are infinitely more valuable than the perfect exercise programme that never actually happens.

The goal isn't simply to make pony smaller - it's to help pony become metabolically healthier:

โ€ข Become less insulin resistant.
โ€ข Move more comfortably.
โ€ข Grow healthier hooves.
โ€ข Cope better with spring grass.

Which means every time you clip on the lead rope, every walk is a chat with pony's metabolism. You're reminding muscles to work, and encouraging glucose to be used. You're slowly nudging metabolism in the direction you want it to go and telling the body that this is what healthy looks like - simply through consistent repetition.

๐—ฆ๐—ผ... ๐˜„๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜'๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜ ๐—˜๐— ๐—ฆ ๐˜€๐˜‚๐—ฝ๐—ฝ๐—น๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜?

But - in my humble opinion, you still need a lead rope, because while MetaTonic can support your ponyโ€™s metabolism and encourage healthier insulin responses - it canโ€™t take your pony for a walk.

Biology doesnโ€™t need perfection. But itโ€™ll happily respond to 10 or 15 minutes of movement - a lead rope and a stroll down the lane. No saddle required. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Happy Friday!

After four months of baked fields, barely-growing grass, and horses picking hopefully at what increasingly resembled Shredded Wheat, the rain has finally arrived.

And certainly here in Somerset, the grass has noticed - which means some horses may have noticed too.

Because although we tend to think of spring as the grass danger-period for our good doers, September can bring its own grass flush from warmer soil regrowth, compared to early spring soil fresh from winter โ€“ as well as horses who may already be heading into autumn carrying rather more summer around their waistline than we'd ideally like. ๐Ÿ˜‰

But here's a thing - it's not always about โ€œ๐˜ˆ๐˜ถ๐˜ต๐˜ถ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฏ ๐˜จ๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ด๐˜ด ๐˜ช๐˜ด ๐˜ด๐˜ถ๐˜จ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜บ โ€“ ๐˜—๐˜ˆ๐˜•๐˜๐˜Š!โ€ - because two horses can stand in the same field, eat the same grass... and respond very differently.

This is where we need to look beyond the grass, as the grass is only one half of the picture - the other half is the horse's metabolic response to it.

๐ŸŒฟ When your horse eats carbohydrates, glucose enters the bloodstream and insulin helps manage what happens next.

๐ŸŒฟ In a metabolically healthy horse, that system is perfectly regulated - but in a horse with insulin dysregulation/EMS, tissues don't respond to insulin in quite the same way - so the body compensates. Which means...

๐ŸŒฟ More insulin is released, and blood insulin levels remains higher for longer.

Which is why for some horses it's not about simply eating green grass again - it's about the horse's metabolism already telling us theyโ€™re not handling it particulary well.

They might be the permanently hungry one, or the wonderful good-doer that survives on fresh air. Or the one with the stubborn crest or fat pads that won't shift, or theyโ€™re a little footy. Or... they're the one who's had laminitis before.

Supporting an EMS horse isn't about one magic supplement that somehow makes grass harmless. Grass management, body condition, movement, forage/overall diet, and mineral balance are all still important. But once those foundations are in place, there are different ways we can support the metabolic picture around the individual horse.

This is why our metabolic range ๐™ž๐™จ๐™ฃ'๐™ฉ four versions of the same product:

๐ŸŒฟ ๐— ๐—ฒ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ง๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ฐ โ€“ our herbal metabolic โ€œbalancingโ€ support for the blood glucose/insulin-dysregulated horse.

๐ŸŒฟ ๐—”๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜†๐—น ๐—Ÿ ๐—–๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ป๐—ถ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฒ โ€“ targeted support where glucose and fatty-acid metabolism, energy utilisation and metabolic muscle support are part of the picture.

๐ŸŒฟ ๐——๐˜‚๐—ผ๐—•๐˜‚๐˜๐—ฒ โ€“ when the first thing the owner notices isn't the metabolism โ€“ itโ€™s the footy hooves.

Or โ€“ all three combined, when the picture has become more established:

๐ŸŒฟ ๐— ๐—ฒ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—–๐—ข๐— ๐—•๐—ข โ€“ for the wider leptin/insulin-resistance pattern - the permanently hangry horse, the stubborn crest and/or persistent fat pads.

None of the above will make unrestricted grass safe for an insulin-dysregulated horse โ€“ but they can support the horse underneath the metabolic challenge.

Which brings us back to September! Our horses may be telling us they're overjoyed that the grass is greener and their field finally looks alive again, but...

For the EMS horse in September, it's not just about the grass - it's more about the horse who's eating it. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Next week, weโ€™ll be talking about another well-known September shift that becomes more significant in some horses as they get older - ACTH levels are shifting too.

I've been firmly in the "straw is for bedding, not feeding" camp for years. And I had my reasons.

I've personally seen overweight little ponies on livery yards, shut away from grass for 23 hours a day because of EMS/lami worries, with singular small haynets repeatedly stuffed with nothing but dusty wheat bedding straw literally scraped up from the barn floor.

That isn't weight management - and nothing I've read this week has persuaded me otherwise. BUT... Science moves on.

And if we're going to say we follow the biology, we also have to be prepared to change our minds when better evidence comes along - because some interesting research has made me (grudgingly) look at straw again.

Not dusty bedding straw, not a haynet containing 100% straw, and certainly not "the pony needs to lose weight, so let's give them virtually nothing nutritious to eat."

I'm talking about clean, hygienic, feed-quality straw deliberately mixed with hay as part of a properly balanced forage ration. And that's a very different conversation.

Recent studies are now saying that itโ€™s okay to replace a little less than half - around 40% - of the grass forage ration with good-quality straw โ€“ with some rather interesting results for horses where energy and insulin management matter.

Specifically, the horses took longer to eat it, consumed less energy and showed a lower insulin response โ€“ without the increase in gastric ulcers that had many of us worried about.

Another study following native ponies over winter found that those fed a 50:50 barley straw/hay mix lost weight, while the hay-only group gained weight overall.

Now THAT got my attention - because next week we're going to be talking about something particularly relevant in September โ€“ the autumn grass flush, insulin and the metabolic horse. And managing an overweight EMS horse can very often leave owners between a rock and a hard place.

We need to reduce excess energy coming in. But the answer can't simply be to leave a trickle-feeding animal standing hungry for hours with an empty stomach and nothing to forage.

So perhaps carefully chosen quality straw has a place after all. Emphasis on โ€œa placeโ€ โ€“ and not the whole haynet.

And there's the important bit. Straw is still nutritionally very different from hay - it's still lower in protein, still less digestible, and the quality matters enormously. In short - the ๐˜ธ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฐ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ diet still needs to work.

So no, I haven't suddenly joined the "fill the haynet with bedding straw" appreciation society. But - I have softened my opinion on feeding straw - because good nutrition shouldn't be about defending what we've always believed.

It should be about looking at the evidence, looking at the horse in front of us, and being curious enough to review our thinking when the two tell us something new.

Used intelligently, straw is simply another tool in the box.

More on that metabolic horse next week... ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿด

Well, that didn't take long... ๐Ÿ˜‚

We said we'd let September tell us where to go first and, judging by our inbox already, apparently we're starting with... ๐—›๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐—ฟ. Lots of it!

And yet - our horses have actually been preparing for their winter coats for weeks. And here's where it gets interesting, because I've been back down the biology rabbit hole โ€“ and I've changed my thinking on something:

๐—–๐—ผ๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ด๐—ฒ ๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ป'๐˜ ๐—ฎ ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐˜๐—ผ๐˜… ๐—ฐ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ถ๐˜€ - ๐—ถ๐˜'๐˜€ ๐—ป๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—ฝ๐—ต๐˜†๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—น๐—ผ๐—ด๐˜†. But... normal physiology can still ask quite a lot of the body.

๐Ÿด ๐—™๐—ถ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐˜ โ€“ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด
Ned doesn't wait for the first chilly September morning before deciding it's time to grow a winter coat.

One of the major signals controlling the seasonal hair cycle is changing daylight, so while we were still melting through August, those shortening days were already telling the hair follicles... ๐˜ช๐˜ต'๐˜ด ๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ.

๐Ÿด ๐—ก๐—ฒ๐˜…๐˜ โ€“ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐˜†'๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜ ๐˜€๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐—น๐˜† ๐—น๐—ผ๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐—ฟ - ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐˜†'๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—•๐—จ๐—œ๐—Ÿ๐——๐—œ๐—ก๐—š ๐—ถ๐˜
Hair is predominantly keratin โ€“ a structural protein. Which means those metabolically active little hair follicles need raw materials - good-quality protein and amino acids, alongside nutrients including zinc, copper, sulphur and essential fatty acids (don't forget the linseed).

And suddenly that innocent pile of fluff on the yard starts looking a bit more interesting - because at the same time daylight is changing, temperatures are shifting, grass and forage are changing - and ACTH is naturally rising too. Particularly relevant to our older and PPID horses.

๐Ÿด ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ๐˜†'๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—ด๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜„๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฎ ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐˜„ ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐˜„๐—ต๐—ถ๐—น๐—ฒ ๐—ฆ๐—ฒ๐—ฝ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ฝ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐˜๐—ผ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—บ
And that's why one horse can sail through coat change while another looks dull, itchy or scurfy, or takes forever to shed, or loses their usual healthy glow, or simply seems to find the whole seasonal transition a little harder.

And because I went properly down the rabbit hole on this one โ€“ including why I've changed the way I talk about โ€œdetoxโ€ during coat change, what those hair follicles are actually doing, where protein, sulphur, the liver, kidneys and lymphatics really fit, and why some horses seem to find the whole thing harder than others โ€“ I wrote a new blog to bring the thinking up to date:

๐Ÿ“– "๐—–๐—ผ๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—–๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ด๐—ฒ โ€“ ๐˜„๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜'๐˜€ ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—น๐—น๐˜† ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ฝ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐—ฟ?"

Well. After what felt like approximately 97 years of heatwave holding pattern... things are finally moving again. And frankly, the timing couldn't be better.

A couple of weeks ago, while everything outside was still brown, baked solid and resolutely refusing to do very much at all, I was already thinking about our September campaign โ€“ because apart from being my favourite month of the year, itโ€™s also such an interesting month for our horses:

* The weather starts to shift
* The days start getting shorter
* ACTH rises accordingly
* The coat begins to change
* Metabolism responds
* And... the grass starts growing again. Which can bring on a grass flush - and for some horses, renewed metabolic challenges.

So this September, I thought we'd follow those changes as they happen.

And then... almost as if Mother Nature had heard our September brief, it finally rained! After 62-days without a drop!๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŒง๏ธ I meanโ€ฆ Who wasnโ€™t deliriously happy to see the wet stuff?! Even better, those temperatures dropped to a positively glorious 20ยฐC.

And right on time, our inbox started to tell us about the first shift - coat change! Seems like our horses have received the brief too.

So, that's where we'll start - because there's a genuinely interesting question underneath something us horse owners regard as regular routine:

๐™’๐™๐™–๐™ฉ ๐™™๐™ค๐™š๐™จ ๐™œ๐™ง๐™ค๐™ฌ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ ๐™–๐™ฃ ๐™š๐™ฃ๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ง๐™š๐™ก๐™ฎ ๐™ฃ๐™š๐™ฌ ๐™˜๐™ค๐™–๐™ฉ ๐™–๐™˜๐™ฉ๐™ช๐™–๐™ก๐™ก๐™ฎ ๐™–๐™จ๐™  ๐™ค๐™› ๐™ฉ๐™๐™š ๐™—๐™ค๐™™๐™ฎ? ๐Ÿ‘€

Quite a lot, as it happens. And when you stop and think about it, producing thousands upon thousands of brand-new hairs for a full winter jacket, while carrying on with all the other business of being a horse... it's quite an undertaking.

After months of summer holding patterns, the seasonal shift has begun - and our horses begin adapting to a completely different set of environmental cues:

* Daylight shortens and temperatures start to cool.
* ACTH rises, metabolism responds, and the coat change starts.
* September rain can bring on a grass flush - and for some horses, renewed metabolic challenges.
* And... horses will finally be moving more again.
