Chewing The Hay... Slowly
Owning a horse can be information overload and a never ending barrage of questions and second guessing yourself.
What should I feed them? Are they getting enough enrichment? How do I know if they're happy?
We are always striving to design and make products that can help take some of the stress out of horse ownership, well we can at least try to lower the stress levels slightly!
In our blog we're going to cover all things equine. From current trends in the equine nutrition industry to hot topics and everything in between.
We hope you enjoy the journey as much as us and we're always on hand to answer any questions you might have

The June Grass Flush: Why Now Is the Riskiest Time for Laminitis
If your horse or pony has made it through spring without incident, you might think the worst of the laminitis risk has passed. It hasn't. June is often when grass sugar levels spike hardest, and it catches a lot of owners off guard.

Keeping Your Horse Cool in a Heatwave: What We Do at Parallax
The British summer has a habit of catching us off guard. One week it's drizzling and you're scraping mud off fetlocks; the next the mercury has climbed past 28°C and you're stood in the yard wondering why your horse looks so flat. Heatwaves are genuinely stressful for horses. Unlike us, they can't open the freezer door, pour a cold drink or sit under a fan. They rely entirely on us to manage their environment — and the difference between a horse that copes well and one that s

Why Using Slow Feeders in Spring Is Just as Important as Winter
here's a moment every spring when the hay bales start to dwindle and the grass begins to come through, and plenty of horse owners breathe a small sigh of relief. Winter's over. The hard work is done. Time to put the hay feeder away until autumn.
We'd gently suggest: not so fast.
Slow feeding isn't a winter strategy. It's a year-round one — and in some ways, spring is the season when it matters most.
