My horse is not doing well – but how do I know if it's because of the feed?

It's a question we get over and over again:

“Do I need an analysis before you can help me?”

And the answer is reassuringly simple:

No – you don't need a roughage analysis to get help.
But it is of course an advantage if you have it.

Here we guide you through how you can find out what your horse needs - no matter where you are in the process.

✅ Do you have a roughage analysis?

So we have a really good starting point.
With the analysis, we can see exactly how much energy, protein and minerals are in the hay – and where something is missing.

This way, we can tailor a feeding plan that meets your horse's needs and ensures balance.
→ It creates peace of mind, overview and makes it easy to do the right thing.

✅ Don't have an analysis?

So we start with the next best thing:
Your experience, your observations – and our experience.

We ask about:

• What your horse is eating right now
• How it thrives physically and mentally
• Your everyday life, training and any changes in behavior

With this knowledge, we can often give you a qualified assessment of what the horse is missing – and how you can adjust the feeding in a simple and targeted way.

🐴 What does the horse's body show you?

Whether you have an analysis or not, the horse's body can give you important signals.
For example:

• Low or fluctuating energy
• Muscle tension and soreness
• Itchy, dry skin or dull fur
• Weak hooves or slow horn growth
• Loose stomach or varying stools
• Restlessness, short temper, or nervousness

These signs are often related to deficiencies of vitamins, minerals, omega-3 or protein.

🌿 Our approach: Close the gaps – without overdoing it

At Regulator Complete, our goal is not to overfeed – but to close the gaps in the roughage .
We work with the body's biology - and help you identify what is actually missing so that the horse gets the necessary building blocks.

It doesn't have to be expensive, complicated or performance-driven.

📩 Do you need sparring?

You don't have to stand alone.
Whether you have an analysis, a feeling or just a desire to do better - we are happy to help you further.

It is often when we start to understand the horse's needs that change begins.

Ofte stillede spørgsmål om en hest, der ikke trives

Skal man have en grovfoderanalyse for at få fodringshjælp?

Nej. Vi kan arbejde ud fra dine observationer. Analysen gør det bare mere præcist, fordi vi så kender grovfoderets sukker, protein og mineraler.

Hvad koster en grovfoderanalyse?

Prisen afhænger af laboratorium og analysepakke. Den nemmeste vej er at købe hø eller wrap fra en leverandør, der allerede har analyseret partiet.

Hvor tit skal grovfoderet analyseres?

Ved hvert nyt parti. Tallene gælder kun det læs, du har liggende.

Kan mistrivsel skyldes noget andet end foderet?

Ja, og det bør de udelukkes for. Orm, tandproblemer, smerte og staldmiljø giver mange af de samme tegn som en mangelfuld fodring.
