Protect your horse from the summer heat
Heat is a serious problem for horses, especially during the hot summer months. High temperatures and humidity can quickly lead to overheating and cause health problems. Recognize the signs of heat stress early and take the right measures to protect your horse.
6 SIMPLE TIPS FOR YOUR DAILY SUMMER ROUTINE
Together against heat stress – for your horse's wellbeing! Here's how you can support your horse in a simple and natural way. ❤️
1. Cool regularly and wash in between
To protect your horse from heat stress, there are various solutions. A good option is to wash your horse regularly to lower its body temperature and ease sweating. Here we recommend the natural Coconut-Monoi Shampoo from EWALIA, which is gentle on the skin and has a soothing effect.
2. Maintain a balanced mineral balance
An adequate supply of electrolytes is also important to balance your horse's mineral levels! The EWALIA Electrolyte is specially designed to meet electrolyte needs and counteracts the loss of vital nutrients. Especially important for horses that train intensively or take part in competitions, to compensate for losses through sweating and maintain performance. 🐴💧
3. Enough fresh water and light feed
Fresh water that is always freely accessible is, of course, a prerequisite for cooling horses down. But the right feed can also help support your horse well in the heat. Make sure your horse has enough hay and fresh water available. On hot days, avoid heavy feed and, if needed, give your horse easily digestible mash, as it contains a lot of liquid.
4. Protect against insects
To protect your horse from pesky insects, a high-quality, natural and effective insect repellent spray is highly recommended. It keeps flies, mosquitoes and ticks away and provides more calm, resulting in better recovery.
5. Support the heart and circulation well
In addition to caring for your horse's exterior, it's important to support the heart and circulation. Regular exercise during the cooler morning or evening hours helps improve blood flow and stimulate the metabolism. The EWALIA Heart-Circulation Liquid is designed specifically to support these needs.
6. Rich hoof care in the heat
A hot tip is caring for hooves with premium EWALIA Herbal Hoof Oil! With natural plant oils and herbal essences, it provides moisture and prevents excessive drying out in the heat. Secondly, the hoof oil protects against cracks and splits, since dry hooves are more prone to them and allow harmful substances to penetrate more easily. Applying hoof oil keeps the hooves supple and reduces the risk of cracks and splits that can cause pain or infections.
Frequently Asked Questions
❓How many bottles do I need to feed?
For problems/complaints:👉 Here we recommend the 6-liter course
At the start, we recommend feeding the increased amount (3 times the daily dose). Stay on this high dosage until an improvement sets in, plus 2 more days. After that, feed 2 times the normal amount. If the improvement continues, feed the remaining bottles at the normal dosage. How much needs to be fed always depends on the individual problem - in other words, whether improvement occurs faster or not.
For prevention: 👉 Here we recommend the 3-liter course
To prevent problems and support general wellbeing: preventively, meaning no increased amount, just the normal amount for at least three weeks.
❓Can several Liquids be fed at the same time?
Yes, up to 3 Liquids can be fed at the same time.
❓How should I feed if I can only give it once a day?
We recommend feeding our product twice daily. This ensures that the body can optimally absorb the valuable herbal active ingredients. One option is to prepare the feed the evening before for the morning feeding by the stable groom, etc., as long as it's given within 24 hours (especially important in summer). Alternatively, one portion can be fed before and one after the riding session.
If feeding twice a day isn't possible, we recommend administering 80% of the total daily dose to achieve the desired effect. For example, that would be 112 ml once daily for a total daily dose of 140 ml (70 ml + 70 ml). Our experience shows that regular twice-daily feeding is the best option to make full use of the effectiveness of our products.
