The Horses on 529 Track System

Why A Track System

We implemented the track system in 2019.

Having the horses on a perimeter track is brilliant!
We are able to control the amount of grass the horses eat,
encourage movement on surfaces that will trim the hooves naturally and control over grazing in the pastures.
Horses are meant to eat fibre (dried up grasses), not lush green grass (high in sugar),
most horses can tolerate green grass but a few can become insulant resistant (like a diabetic that cannot tolerate sugar) ,
which will cause the fatty tissues in the body to inflame causing pain in movement.
A Track system gives the ability to control the sugar intake, control obesity! Yes obesity in a problem for horses too!
Our track system has two....
Neko our sweet Andalusian is an IR horse so he lives on the outside track and we have the ability to better control his sugar levels.
For all horses living domestically, movement is the key to their good health and great hooves.
And this works 100% with HGM!
