Whether it\u2019s fun rides or simply the joys of a stubble field, for many of us it is our favourite time of year. However, we also need to consider our horse\u2019s regime change. Whether wintering out or spending time stabled, there will be changes ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Winter is often seen as a challenging time for equine health, particularly digestive stress, and there are a number of reasons for that:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Winter Gut Stress<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4><strong>Reduced water intake<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>\n<li>Horses typically drink less over winter<\/li>\n<li>Provide a salt lick to encourage drinking<\/li>\n<li>A short hay soak, fed still wet, encourages intake without compromising feed quality<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>Dietary changes<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>\n<li>The change from fresh grazing to preserved forages is a particular stress<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>Reduced exercise<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>\n<li>Stabled horses take far fewer steps, which compromises gut health<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>Environmental stressors<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>\n<li>Severe weather may mean a short-term change of plan, and any sudden change can upset gut stability<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The season this year is likely to be particularly challenging, with widespread reports of forage shortages following the summer drought conditions over much of England. NAF recommend securing your winter forage source as soon as possible. If necessary, consider partial forage replacers, such as chaffs, grass nuts or mixing good quality clean straw into their hay or haylage.<\/p>\n<p>By supplementing with daily digestive support from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbequestrian.co.uk\/horse-care\/supplements\/naf-five-star-gastriaid-18kg-tub__470334\"><strong>NAF Five Star GastriAid<\/strong><\/a> we can help maintain healthy digestion right along their digestive tract, from teeth to tail! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbequestrian.co.uk\/horse-care\/supplements\/naf-five-star-gastriaid-18kg-tub__470334\">GastriAid<\/a> is a unique complex of key actives working in synergy right along the digestive tract.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbequestrian.co.uk\/horse-care\/supplements\/naf-five-star-gastriaid-18kg-tub__470334\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4229\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/rbe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2025\/09\/Save-on-NAF-Gastri-Aid-by-RB-Equestrian-1.jpg\" alt=\"NAF Five Star GastriAid - 20% off in October 2025 \" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/rbe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2025\/09\/Save-on-NAF-Gastri-Aid-by-RB-Equestrian-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/rbe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2025\/09\/Save-on-NAF-Gastri-Aid-by-RB-Equestrian-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/rbe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2025\/09\/Save-on-NAF-Gastri-Aid-by-RB-Equestrian-1-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Only <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbequestrian.co.uk\/horse-care\/supplements\/naf-five-star-gastriaid-18kg-tub__470334\">NAF GastriAid<\/a> provides all of the following in one hard-working complex, to support your horses\u2019 digestive function from all angles.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbequestrian.co.uk\/horse-care\/supplements\/naf-five-star-gastriaid-18kg-tub__470334\">NAF GastriAid<\/a> provides<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Prebiotics, live probiotic yeast, postbiotic metabolites for a healthy microbiome<\/li>\n<li>Psyllium husks and L-Glutamine working for the health and integrity of the mucosal lining<\/li>\n<li>Natural bentonite clay whose large surface absorbs excesses and toxins to harmlessly maintain a clean gut<\/li>\n<li>Sodium and calcium carbonate supporting a natural pH balance in the stomach<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbequestrian.co.uk\/horse-care\/supplements\/naf-five-star-gastriaid-18kg-tub__470334\">GastriAid<\/a> can be introduced to the daily diet as you prepare to change your horse to their winter regime, continuing daily through autumn and winter.<\/p>\n<p>Remember to feed little and often, ideally alongside trickle feeding forage, to avoid their gut becoming overwhelmed and challenged.

Remember, it is imperative that the pre-exercise feed is small and fibrous, as we should avoid exercising directly after concentrate feeds.<\/p>\n<p>By following a few simple rules we can help ensure our horses, and their digestive tract\u2019s, stay happy and healthy through autumn and into winter.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Winter Feeding Tips<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Make changes gradually<\/li>\n<li>Stay forage focused<\/li>\n<li>Split concentrates between meals<\/li>\n<li>Ensure clean, fresh water is always available<\/li>\n<li>Feed to work done, and monitor regularly for changes<\/li>\n<li>Feed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbequestrian.co.uk\/horse-care\/supplements\/naf-five-star-gastriaid-18kg-tub__470334\">NAF Five Star GastriAid<\/a> daily, split between meals<\/li>\n<\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4a13145 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"4a13145\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-xl\" href=\"mailto:info@naf-uk.com\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Contact the FREE NAF Nutritional Advice Line.<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-69738bc elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"69738bc\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c9b282d\" data-id=\"c9b282d\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a0689a1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a0689a1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"770\" height=\"578\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/rbe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/10\/Shop-with-RB-Equestrian.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-4230\" alt=\"RB Equestrian Store\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/rbe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/10\/Shop-with-RB-Equestrian.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/rbe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/10\/Shop-with-RB-Equestrian-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/rbe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/10\/Shop-with-RB-Equestrian-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Autumn&#8217;s arrived and Winter is nearly here!
