𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗴𝘂𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘁

This time of year so many horses are living out, and whether yours is competing at the weekend or grazing through the summer, the hindgut is under pressure either way.

Changes in grazing, grass flushes, altered drinking patterns, the heat itself all affect the hindgut environment.

When the pH tips out of its normal range the bacteria that break down fibre and keep your horse feeling well start to struggle. You’ll often see it before you can explain it. Girthy. Off their feed. Not quite themselves.

It’s easy to think of gut support as something for the horse in hard work. But the horse living out right now is dealing with some of the biggest hindgut stressors of the year and they don’t always show it in obvious ways until it’s been building for a while.

Keeping that hindgut pH stable isn’t just about digestion. When the environment is balanced, fibre breaks down efficiently, nutrients are absorbed properly and the beneficial bacteria that support immunity, energy and overall wellbeing can do their job. When it isn’t, all of that starts to unravel.

It’s about how the whole horse feels and functions. Every day, not just on competition day.

If your horse is already on Maximum Gut Health this is a good time to add an extra scoop while the heat and the change in grazing are both a factor. Ease back once things settle. If you haven’t started yet, now is a good time.

𝗠𝗮𝘅𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗺 𝗠𝘂𝘀𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗘𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹𝘆𝘁𝗲𝘀 — 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘁.
For a lot of riders right now, competing means travelling first. And in this heat, the journey is as demanding as the competition itself. Hours on the lorry, not drinking normally — your horse arrives already under pressure before they’ve even competed.

Here’s how to support them through both.
In this heat they’re losing electrolytes constantly — competing, travelling, just standing in the sun. Maximum Muscle Recovery with Electrolytes replaces what they’re losing — but it goes further than a standard electrolyte product.
Hard work generates free radicals in the muscles that cause oxidative damage and slow recovery.
Horses can’t produce Vitamin E themselves — it’s their primary defence against that damage. We use RRR alpha tocopherol, the natural form, significantly more bioavailable than the synthetic version in most supplements.
Tart cherry and amino acids alongside it for recovery support.

Start two to three days before you travel or compete and keep going for a few days after. You’ll notice the difference in how they come home.

Lynda has been using Maximum Hoof Health for a while and recently shared this:

“Our farrier said they are the best feet he’s seen on a thoroughbred in a long time. Strong, healthy hooves and a real improvement all round. We’re now starting our new baby thoroughbred on it too.”

Thoroughbred feet are notoriously difficult. For a farrier to volunteer that unprompted means something.

Both horses have been on Maximum Gut Health. That coat condition and shine doesn’t happen by accident.

Saturday mornings are often a time of reflection for me. I’m sat here in the sunshine having a coffee with our mad spaniel thinking about yesterday. Yesterday I had four customers call the office just to tell me how much they love our products, and honestly it stopped me in my tracks.

Six years ago I never imagined this is where I’d be. A small business owner doing things on my own, & it can feel daunting at times. And if I’m honest, lately I’ve been feeling a little flat and losing a bit of belief.

But yesterday four phone calls changed all of that and reminded me exactly why I do this. Four calls just to tell us how much they love our products and the difference they’ve made to their horses.

Although I am a solo owner, I have the most incredible small team of people around me who have helped bring amazing products to market.

In terms of market share we are tiny, but when customers make the effort to call just to say how much they love our products and that they’ve been recommended because they work, it literally makes my day, my week, my year. Sometimes when you’re a small fish in a very large pond it’s easy to lose belief, but those calls and messages remind me exactly why I love what I do

I love this community we have. And I hope that if we’re ever fortunate enough to become a big fish, we still have the same community feel and that it’s still me answering the phone and replying to your WhatsApps.

Thank you to everyone that engages with us in all kinds of ways.

Wishing everyone and their families and animals a lovely weekend.

Sam 💚

The photo - I saw this on another platform this morning and I really liked it.

This will be drawn tomorrow - if you’re going to post please go to the original post to make sure your entry counts.

We gave 3x£50 last week. Let’s see how many we can give away this week. 💚

🎉 𝐖𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬!

Congratulations to 𝗟𝗲𝘀𝗹𝗲𝘆 𝗔𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻 & 𝗞𝗮𝘁 𝗔𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗻 — £50 each, well deserved.

We said we'd run a separate Instagram draw if we hit 25 entries. We didn't — so those four were folded into the Facebook wheel instead. Next time, Instagram. Next time.

We read every comment before it went on the wheel. Honest feedback from people who know their horses — that's what we thrive on, and this week reminded us exactly why we ask for it.
Here's what our winners had to say:

💬 Lesley: "It's a great product. We've been using it since it was developed. Our youngsters, our competition Welsh cobs and our veteran with Cushings thrive on it."

💬 Kat: "I genuinely believe that gut health is what made the biggest difference to my horse. She went from being constantly anxious, stressy and uncomfortable to being happy, shiny and healthy. I rate it as a product and will recommend it to anyone who will listen."

That's word of mouth. One conversation at a yard reaches further than any ad we could run. Thank you for being that for us.

If you're a winner, drop Laura an email at
info@maxgut-health.co.uk to claim your prize.

Thank you to everyone who entered. We'll do this again.

We have a different kind of competition on Monday, all in support of a friend that has launched an equestrian brand.

Team MAH.

Have a lovely weekend 💚

Let’s create a little bit of joy where we can 💛

Post a photo of something that makes you smile, it doesn’t have to be horse related at all.

Depending on how many entries we get, we may add even more prizes too 👀

This time of year, the thing that makes me smile most is seeing all the babies… foals, ducklings, lambs, I love all of it.

I just wanted to check in on our lovely community.

Everything just feels so weird in the world at the moment.

Our day didn't start as normal. Laura, Zoe and I are all feeling a bit overwhelmed with stuff going on in life. Sometimes it just takes one person to ask "are you feeling abit overwhelmed at the moment or is it just me" to open up conversation.

So instead of taking the orders off and getting them ready we took an hour with a cuppa to talk through how we're all feeling and what's going on at home.

It's so easy as a parent, boss, partner to feel as though you're failing. Talking it through and realising it's not just us made us all feel a bit better and more positive about life.

When I created this office I wanted it to feel like a space where you actually want to be. Somewhere comfortable. I think we needed that this morning.

So I just wanted to check in — how is everyone doing? How are your horses and dogs? We are always here for a chat. 💚

A post worth sharing and We can highly recommend Equinutrition

Grass growth warning! 2026 is proving a record breaker. Now you might be looking at your fields and thinking “but there’s no grass”.. my advice “look up and look at your horses, do they look poor”? If you are unsure how to build a correct balanced diet for your retired ~ performance horse with this yrs spring grass, please feel free to reach out. For all of you with metabolic ponies/horses, please beware
