Understand How Your Horse Works to Ride Safer and Smarter 🧠
@horsesinsideout_ is passionate about the importance of understanding how your horse works, which improves performance and safety.
A solid knowledge of equine anatomy and biomechanics isn’t just for professionals, it’s essential for anyone who works with or rides horses.
Did you know that working your horse over varied terrain -up and down hills, over different surfaces helps to strengthen not just their body but also their proprioception (their awareness of where their body is in space)?
This boosts sure-footedness, balance, and overall confidence and safety under saddle.
Let’s make safety part of everyday training by learning how your horse’s body really works. With better understanding comes better horsemanship and welfare for the horse.
Thank you, Horses Inside Out!

It’s Friday so we talk about horse feed!
🛡️ Safe Feed Storage: Top Tips from @horsehageandmollichaff 🐴
When it comes to feeding your horse, how you store feed is just as important as what you feed. Poor storage can lead to contamination, spoilage, or even serious health risks like colic or respiratory issues.
Here are our 5 key tips to help keep your feedroom safe and your horse’s nutrition spot on:
1️⃣ Keep it Clean & Dry
Always store feed in a clean, cool, dry and well-ventilated area. Dampness encourages mould, which can be harmful, even deadly to horses.
2️⃣ Use Rodent-Proof Containers
Seal feed in bins with tight-fitting lids to keep out mice, rats, and wildlife. Rodent contamination is a serious risk for disease transmission.
3️⃣ First In, First Out
Use older bags first to avoid spoilage. Label each bag with the date opened, and check best-before dates regularly.
4️⃣ Avoid Cross-Contamination
Keep different feed types (e.g. balancers, forage, supplements) separate, and always clean scoops and buckets between uses.
5️⃣ Watch for Dust & Mould
For forage products, look for low dust, hygienically packed options. This is where bagged forage like HorseHage comes in, it’s low dust, consistent, and securely sealed, making it a safe and convenient option, especially in humid or changeable weather.
🌾 Mollichaff chaffs are also packaged for freshness, helping to reduce waste and contamination while supporting a healthy digestive system.
🧠 Feed safety isn`t just about avoiding spoilage, it`s part of your horse`s overall well-being and health.
A big thank you to HorseHage and Mollichaff for these invaluable tips on safe feed storage.
