NEW: “Autumn” Pack
30 September 2024
The arrival of fall marks an essential transition period for the health and well-being of horses. With the change in temperature, the increase in humidity, and a change in grazing conditions, it becomes necessary to pay special attention to their general condition. Horses, like humans, are affected by seasonal changes, and these changes can have a significant impact on their bodies. Proactively supporting horses during this time is therefore crucial to maintain their health, prevent problems and promote a smooth transition into the colder months.
The Naturacheval AUTUMN PACK brings together our essentials for this season to meet the needs of horses in autumn. He has a particular focus on draining and strengthening the immune system: fundamental aspects of horse health at this time of year.
The specific needs of the horse in autumn
In autumn, horses face several physiological and environmental challenges. In September, the grass becomes interesting again from a nutritional point of view, although it will only be short-lived before the grazing season ends depending on the weather conditions, soil conditions and the amount of grass. Usually in October, the weather is wet, the soils are soggy and the pastures start to run out of rich and nutritious grass, which can lead to sometimes abrupt dietary changes. In order to prepare for this winter diet, the transition from pasture grass to hay feed must be made gradually so that the body gets used to the new diet.
By incorporating hay into the daily feed ration throughout the month of September, you prepare the digestive system for the dietary change. Nevertheless, one of the major problems to watch out for at this time is liver overload. The liver is a central organ in the management of toxins, and it is often called upon in autumn due to dietary changes as well as frequent drug treatments (dewormers, antiparasitic treatments, etc.). It is therefore crucial to support the horse’s hepatic system in order to facilitate detoxification and avoid an accumulation of toxins, which is the source of many disorders.
At the same time, the horse’s immune defenses are starting to be put to the test with the arrival of cold and bad weather. The immune system can weaken and not be ready to face the winter, making the animal more vulnerable to infections, especially respiratory infections. Immune support is therefore essential to prevent the animal from getting sick.
Drainage and colic prevention in autumn
Drainage is a particularly important practice in seasonal transition, in autumn in our case, as it allows to cleanse and revitalize the organs of elimination, such as the liver and kidneys. Good drainage helps the horse to get rid of accumulated toxins, especially due to parasites, too rich food, heavy physical effort, drug treatments. during the summer season. Detox, or “reset”, allows you to cleanse the body as a whole in order to optimize its functioning and face the winter months in the best conditions.
The AUTUMN PACK by Naturacheval contains the two products specifically designed to optimize this drainage process and avoid the risk of colic.
- DETOX : à base de quatre plantes aux propriétés drainantes reconnues, cet aliment complémentaire stimule l’activité des organes d’élimination (foie et reins) afin de booster l’élimination des décets de l’organisme par l’urine, la transpiration, et les selles.
- CARBO’ STOP : riche en charbon végétal hautement absorbant, cet aliment complémentaire piège les substances indésirables du système digestif et intestinal, afin de favoriser leur évacuation par les selles.
Colic is a common problem in horses, especially during transition periods such as autumn. Dietary changes, changes in the environment and a decrease in physical activity can disrupt the horse’s digestive system. Effective drainage helps support liver and kidney function, which improves digestion and reduces the risk of colic.
In the AUTUMN PACK , you will find these two complementary foods that will allow you to naturally prevent these imbalances by providing natural support to the digestive organs. By cleansing the digestive system and promoting better assimilation of nutrients, it helps to keep the horse healthy, while avoiding digestive complications often linked to seasonal changes.
Strengthen the immune system naturally
In autumn, it is also essential to support the horse’s immune system to prepare it to face external aggressions during the winter months: epidemics, cold snaps, viruses… A failing immune system leads to a decrease in their immune resistance, thus leaving the door open to various winter ailments. In Autumn, it is therefore strongly recommended to carry out an immune strengthening cure in order to start the winter season in the best possible way.
In the Naturacheval AUTUMN PACK , you will find our complementary feed specially designed to boost the activity of immune cells and thus increase the body’s resistance to infectious agents.

Ce renforcement des défenses naturelles est essentiel pour maintenir le cheval en bonne santé tout au long de l’automne et le préparer à l’hiver.
