Feeding Good Doers

Good Doers Needing To Keep Weight Off

In the world of equestrian care, "good doers" are horses that efficiently maintain their weight and body condition with minimal feed intake. These equines present unique challenges for owners and caretakers, especially when it comes to balancing nutrition and preventing obesity-related health issues. At Barnstaple Equestrian Supplies, we understand the importance of proper management for good doers and offer tailored solutions to help you keep your horse healthy and fit.

Good doers typically have a slower metabolism and require careful dietary planning to prevent excessive weight gain. This characteristic can be beneficial in certain situations, such as during harsh winters or when feed resources are scarce. However, in modern stable environments with abundant feed, good doers may be prone to obesity and related health problems if not managed correctly.

At Barnstaple equestrian we stock a range of low-calorie, high-fiber feeds and supplements specifically designed for these efficient equines. These products help maintain digestive health while providing essential nutrients without excess calories.

Managing a good doer involves more than just feed selection. Regular exercise, controlled grazing, and proper turnout schedules are crucial components of a comprehensive care plan. Our knowledgeable staff at Barnstaple Equestrian can offer advice on creating an effective exercise routine and implementing grazing management strategies to keep your good doer in optimal condition.
