Dr Tamzin Furtado of Care Equine Education and University of Liverpool believes the forage calculator will be extremely useful. The new resource has been developed over several months, and uses data pulled from the latest available research in approximating the dry matter forage requirements of horses and ponies on a grass and hay diet. It’s also great for determining how much your horse is overeating by – using the calculator made me realise that it’s no wonder my boy is getting fatter as spring comes!”
Ellen continues: “We have created a unique resource which gives owners a good baseline to start from. Using the specific feeding goal, weight loss, maintenance or weight gain the calculator takes the numbers we know work. It then approximates on the DM requirements based on the owner’s The Original holds 8.5kg dry hay, so it’s big enough to feed a large horse overnight. The Mini holds 4 kg dry hay, enough for a large pony. We recommend an Original for any equine over 14hh and a Mini for those smaller. Oh yes! This is the top of the range in luxury equine weight management, and your friends will want to stroke the soft silky netting whenever you're not looking! :)

Our new knotless SOFTEE nets offer you and your horse a bit of luxury in the stable, while still providing much more nibble time. The Softee Net is made with a 5mm strong braided knotless twine, with 25mm holes for very effective slow feeding. The mesh material is a silky smooth composition, and the nets are incredibly easy to use with a wide open end, and plenty of soft rope for tying them up however works best for you. Not quite. The knotless material will always have a degree of 'give' in the braid, which allows some stretch in the hole size when in use. It is a very effective slow-feeding net, but for better control, use one of our knotted net products, such as The Original or the Mini which has holes that do not stretch at all. The tool provides a good starting point for owners looking to manage their horses’ weight but does not replace veterinary advice and/or working with an equine nutritionist.

In terms of brand awareness, we find YHL unbeatable. It's brilliant to see customers returning to tell us how great the products are and to hear their success stories. That’s the best part of YHL, getting to know the customers and hearing what a difference the products make. I thought it would be ideal to have an online tool for owners to do this themselves and learn more about dry matter intake (DMI) requirements. I then wanted to make this tool more comprehensive and useful for owners, so I began to look more closely at pasture DMI and started reading the research. We have created a unique resource which gives owners a good baseline to start from. Using the specific feeding goal, weight loss, maintenance or weight gain the calculator takes the numbers we know work. It then approximates on the DM requirements based on the owner’s information, and the research data. It can’t be entirely accurate of course as each horse is anindividual, but it is a very good ‘ballpark’ calculation, which is a big step forward for owners who could not easily access this important information before.”

This feeder has a plug and drain that allows you to soak the hay easily. There is a choice of three regulator hole sizes – 70mm, 90mm or 100mm.These nets are super strong, heavy duty and made to do a very specific job. They can take a few weeks to 'soften up’, and using them regularly will break them in best. would have marked our 4th year at YHL and while we are really sorry that the event won’t run in its regular fashion this year, we’ve been reflecting on some of the great opportunities and benefits YHL has afforded our small business over the years. We started with a little 3x3 stand in 2017. We had no graphics and all the products piled up in boxes. It was a bit bohemian! Wow what a show though, we were so busy!
