 Support the liver and kidneys
The liver is the body’s internal detox organ and is responsible for processing various nutrients, waste products and harmful substances. Kidneys, together with the liver, ensure efficient elimination of waste products. So, although the liver and kidneys play a crucial role in the health of our horses, we often overlook the ways we can support these organs.  Horses are creatures of habit: unlike us humans, who like variety, horses do well with a ration that is the same every day. Detox treatments in horses therefore have much less dramatic effects than in humans.
 Detox is a popular term with humans and now also for horses.
A fresh start for the body can be a big help. But what exactly does ‘detoxing’ entail? Is it literally just detoxification? Or is there a lot more to it? The answer is yes, there is indeed a lot more to it. After all, rest is just as important. In this article, learn why rest is the main ingredient, and the 3 pillars of a good detox period.

 The importance of having a correctly fitting saddle and feeding your horse correctly for their workload is very clear- but how often do you consider the fit of both your bridle and bit?
 Change is a good sign that you need to check or replace your horse's bit. Whether that is a change in feel down the rein, or whether there is a noticeable difference in your horse's way of going. Any sudden change in your horse is always a key indicator that something needs addressing. As well as noticing the subtle changes in our horses we also need to be aware of the physical changes in the kit we use on a daily basis, and as such visible checks of your bits are highly advised.
