Starterset Water buffet
A water buffet is an innovative and natural method to support the individual needs of your horse regarding minerals and other nutrients. Unlike adding salt or other supplements directly into feed, a water buffet allows horses to decide for themselves what they need at any given moment. This freedom is crucial in natural horse feeding, as horses know exactly what they need when given the opportunity.
A buffet consists of several water buckets or troughs enriched with different additives. Ideally, horses have access to between 3 and 6 different options, including:
Saltwater: Since salt is an essential mineral, horses should have access to a salt lick and a bucket of saltwater. This allows them to meet their salt needs according to their discretion. (Note: For foals or horses that excessively lick the salt lick, it should be removed.)
Spirulina Water: Rich in nutrients and antioxidants, spirulina provides valuable support, especially during stressful or illness-prone times.
Turmeric Water: Turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties and can be a soothing addition during injuries or inflammation.
Various Herbal Teas: Depending on the composition, teas can have calming, digestive, or immune-boosting effects.
Apple Cider Vinegar or Bentonite Clay: These additives can occasionally be used for detoxification and promoting digestion.
Electrolyte Water: Particularly useful during hot summer months or after strenuous exercise when the need for electrolytes is increased.
