Our customer Liz shared these great progress photos of her Off the Track mare, "This little mare went from this 1st photo (inset) to 2nd photo (main) in 6 months on T&R Lupin Fibre Cubes and Crushed Lupins, Lucerne chaff and Rhodes Hay."
What a great result Liz, and thanks for sharing! Taking progress photos of your horse is a great way to track their condition 📷

#TipTuesday - Do you know the starch and sugar content of your hay or chaff?
When you're balancing your horse's diet, you need to take into consideration the type of hay and chaff that you are feeding. Their nutritional value depends on the plant type, but also the region it is grown in. Our hays here in WA test quite differently to the East Coast.
'Cereal' refers to hays and chaffs made from oaten, wheaten and barley crops. The grains are naturally high in sugars and starch, but so are the leaves and stems of the plant. Some sample results from WA hays/chaffs are:
🌾Oaten - NSC 31.5%. WA's Oaten hay consistently tests between 30-38% but has been recorded as high as 42.63% in Southwest WA!
🌾Wheaten - NSC 28.8%
💡LET'S CALCULATE: For a 500kg horse fed oaten hay at an average of 35% NSC, they are consuming 3.5kg of NSC for every 10kg of hay. This means consuming 1,246kgs of starch and sugar in their hay alone in a year!
Performance horses with high workloads do need carbohydrates in their diet as a source of energy, but it's important not to feed more than the daily requirements, especially if you are already feeding a performance concentrate.
❗Another thing to look out for is Crude Protein levels. While lucerne is a great low NSC alternative hay and chaff (average 10% NSC), the protein levels can be very high. Crude protein results average around 20%, but this depends on the season. This year crude protein in Lucerne has jumped as high 36%!
TIPS:
💡Instead of chaff look at feeding Lupin Fibre Cubes. With low NSC (5.3%) and only 15% protein (lower than lucerne), it provides good levels of digestible energy, and is a quality fibre source that promotes gut health. With no additives, Lupin Fibre Cubes are a healthy, cost-effective chaff alternative.
💡Get your hay tested and balance your horses feed, taking into account the results.

"My love for horses is well and truly in my blood, with my Mum, Aunty and Nana all horse riders (in their younger years), so I have been riding ever since I can remember. I was a late starter to Pony Club and the competition world, but absolutely love the journey and the highs and lows that come with the sport."

"My main pony is Tiaja Park Hope, "Holly, a beautiful 9yo Welsh Cob mare who stands at 13.2hh, but she is as wide as she is tall! Holly and my partnership is relatively new, having purchased her mid last year. Holly loves to jump, her favourite by far is XC, so our focus this year is to move up a grade in showjumping and eventing. She is an incredible pony that I am so lucky to ride and own."
