Stress in horses is often underestimated

22 May 2026

When the metabolism goes out of balance!

How can you tell if there are metabolic problems?

Fatigue, coat problems, poor recovery, obesity, sensitive skin, reduced performance, hoof problems, or changes in behaviour can be early signs.

2. What can put a strain on your metabolism?

Stress, seasonal coat changes, insufficient exercise, unbalanced feeding, intensive training periods, or being overweight can all put a strain on your horse's metabolism.

3. Why Gut and Metabolism Are Connected

Healthy digestion supports the entire body. Therefore, gut health, feed that is gentle on the stomach, and natural support play an important role.

4. What can help?

Regular exercise, adapted management, high-quality minerals, herbs, and natural supplements can support metabolism and inner balance.
