Girth issues, yawning, and more: What your horse might be telling you

Yawning, girthiness, restlessness, or picky eating are often quickly dismissed as simply a mood, stress, or a training problem. However, the real cause can be found in the delicate balance between the stomach and intestines. When this digestive balance is disrupted, horses often feel generally unwell and show it through their behavior. That's why the Premium Digestion Bundle targets this directly: by supporting both the stomach and intestines.

THE CHALLENGE

Gut signals are often overlooked

Frequent yawning, resisting when being girthed, a tense abdomen, or inconsistent eating – these signs are often dismissed as mere moodiness or bad habits in everyday life. However, the root cause might be deeper: A delicate balance between the stomach and intestines can lead to your horse becoming more irritable, restless, or picky about food in daily life – often long before typical digestive issues become apparent.

Horses – Digestive Sensitivity and Behavioral Issues

Typical signs:

  • Frequent yawning or chewing without food
  • Defensiveness or sensitivity when girthing
  • Picky or irregular eating
  • Restlessness shortly after feeding
  • Inconsistent manure consistency or bloating
  • General irritability without an obvious external trigger

What you can do:

  • Ensure forage intake is as continuous as possible.
  • Keep feeding breaks as short as possible in daily routines.
  • Jointly provide nutritional support for the stomach and intestines
  • Approach feed changes slowly and step by step
  • Reduce stress in the stable, during training, or transport as much as possible.
  • Take changes in eating, girthing, or behavior seriously early on.

THE SOLUTION: A HOLISTIC APPROACH

How the Digestion Bundle supports

Because digestive stress in horses often doesn't originate in just one place, it requires support that considers both the stomach and intestines together. A sensitive stomach can strain digestive balance, and an imbalanced gut can, in turn, affect Well-being, nutrient utilization, and behavior. This is precisely the concept behind the combination of Tummy Fit and Gut Fit.

The Flexi Feed Tub – because feeding is also a matter of management.

Horses are naturally ground feeders. Eating with a lowered head is their natural posture, and it directly influences their chewing muscles, saliva production, and the preparation of the digestive tract for food. Saliva contains natural buffering substances that prepare the stomach even before food arrives. The more saliva produced, the better.

  • Ground-level feeding promotes a natural head and neck posture during chewing
  • More chewing time = more saliva = better stomach preparation
  • Stable form – also suitable for lively eaters
  • Easy to clean, robust for everyday stable use
  • Practical size for daily liquid feed

❓ Your Questions – Our Answers

Can I feed Tummy Fit and Gut Fit at the same time?

Yes – both products are designed to work together and can be easily given with the daily feed. The ingredients complement each other and do not compete for absorption.

My horse frequently yawns and reacts when girthed – would this bundle be suitable?

Frequent yawning, empty chewing, or sensitivity in the abdominal area can indicate increased sensitivity in the gastrointestinal tract. The Premium Digestion Bundle can be fed during these periods as a Complementary feed to provide nutritional support for the stomach and intestines.

What is the minimum time I should feed the bundle?

We recommend feeding at least one complete bundle continuously. The bundle is also suitable for continuous feeding. Tummy Fit and Gut Fit are complementary feeds. For recurring or worsening problems, a veterinarian should always be consulted.

Is this bundle permitted in competitive sports?

Please note a 48-hour Withdrawal Period before competing, to comply with the current ADMR guidelines. Always stay informed about the latest guidelines from the FN and FEI.

What if my horse doesn't accept the liquid?

No risk: Our 30-day Taste Guarantee applies. If your horse doesn't accept the product, you'll get your money back. Both liquids can be easily mixed into mash or moistened feed.

Can this bundle be fed to pregnant mares?

Due to the herbal extracts it contains, we do not recommend feeding it to pregnant mares. However, it is perfectly suitable for all other age groups and breeds.
