Racehorse Spelling: More Than A Well-Deserved Break

16/12/2022

 
Regardless of your horse's age, a spell of R & R is just what the vet orders at crucial times in their lives. Horses deserve a break after a long season of gruelling work. Owners may find it frustrating to have their horses out of the circuit, but the benefits of spelling quickly become apparent. 
Racehorse spelling is crucial to developing and maintaining your champion in peak condition. It’s excellent for their mental and physical well-being to take a break from their environment. Besides being a mental refresher, it is also a chance to relax and recuperate. The muscles of young horses, in particular, need frequent replenishing and short, regular spells are beneficial.  

Spelling Success: 4 Health Goals 

Repair Injury

Injured horses must be kept in a positive frame of mind, which is achieved in a balanced environment. As part of the rehabilitation or post-operative process, a relaxed atmosphere is provided and special attention is paid to diet, as underfeeding or undernutrition reduces the body's ability to repair damaged tissue.

Recover From Disease

Ailments come in all forms and degrees, and with around-the-clock veterinary services, horses get the best attention they deserve for recuperating and gaining strength. Diet management is a driving force, and special attention is given to gut issues during spelling. It's also the perfect opportunity to tend to teeth and hooves.  

Rebuilding Muscle

Usually, horses start their spelling with an inevitable muscle loss. This can be attributed to many factors, one of which is they are run-down and need immune boosters for healthy bone, tissue and muscle replenishment. Special attention to a high-protein diet and targeted exercise is the key to complete muscle recovery. 

Regaining Weight

Spelling is the perfect opportunity to pay attention to your horse’s condition. Underweight conditions are often associated with muscle loss. Your horse's health should be assessed to rule out anything underlying his malnourished condition besides muscle loss.  

The Classic R & R

It’s also about your horse having fun and experiencing a restful and relaxing time at an agistment facility. They must be reminded of the joy of being a thoroughbred, and in their paddocks, they can frolic and stretch under no undue pressure. 

At Glenrae Thoroughbreds, we grant them the time of their lives while monitoring their health and well-being. Our 24-hour targeted feeding programs address each horse’s requirements and are monitored around the clock to support recovery and condition.
