GROWING MOMENT: Drainage in autumn

For several years, drainage has been recommended for horses, is it a real need or a fad?

The body is a machine that accumulates substances and waste products all day long, which it must eliminate via its digestive, intestinal, lymphatic and skin systems. The body’s balance, homeostasis, can thus be maintained.

WHY CARRY OUT DRAINAGE?
In the wild, the horse is quite capable of maintaining its homeostasis by choosing and selecting plants according to its needs. Now, as the lifestyle of our horses has changed, their autonomy in the management of their body can be altered. Life in a box, less pasture, sometimes unsuitable diet, illness, physical activity, stress, medication… Toxins can now accumulate very quickly.

In phytotherapy, we recommend performing drainage during the transition period: in spring and autumn, in order to support the body in this dietary and lifestyle change. From September, drainage will be useful for:
– prepare for the box
– anticipate the period of grazing rich in soluble carbohydrates
– Promote circulation and moulting
– Boost metabolism
– eliminate toxins accumulated during the summer (rich grass, competition, etc.)
– Cleanse the body deeply
– prepare the body for dietary change and improve its digestion
