Summer Gut Stress in Horses: How to Protect Digestive Health When Temperatures Rise

When the heat hits, your horse’s gut takes a hit too. As summer temperatures rise, so does the risk to your horse's delicate digestive system. From sweat-induced dehydration that depletes crucial electrolytes to a decreased appetite and increased stall time, summer brings many challenges. Together, these factors can disrupt the gut's sensitive microbial balance, leaving your horse vulnerable to ulcers, colic, and a decline in performance.

Luckily, with the proper nutritional support, you can mitigate these risks and ensure your horse thrives through the hottest months. Here's how Assure® Guard Gold, and Eq-Well™ work together to keep your horse's digestive system strong and resilient all summer long.
