Autumn Preparation
Why being prepared makes all the difference
As summer turns into autumn, changes in temperature, daylight and your horse's routine can bring new seasonal challenges. Cooler days, increased rainfall and changes in grazing or turnout can all affect your horse's daily routine.
Preparing for these changes in advance can help make the transition between seasons more manageable. Many owners choose to begin feeding herbs before autumn routines fully set in, allowing time for consistent nutritional support to become part of their horse's daily management.
Dried herbs are typically fed consistently over several weeks as part of a long-term approach, giving your horse time to adapt to the additional nutritional support. Liquid supplements are absorbed more quickly by the body and can provide faster-acting nutritional support when a quicker response is needed.
Starting early can help you prepare for the seasonal transition and maintain a consistent routine as summer gradually gives way to autumn.

Ellie Johnston
How is Ellie preparing for autumn?
As summer turns into autumn, Ellie likes to keep Benny’s routine as consistent as possible. She continues to feed the supplements she knows work well for him, helping to maintain the support he needs as the seasons change.
After some time off work, Benny is now gradually increasing his workload again. To support him as he gets back into work, Ellie has introduced Multi-Flex PLUS to help maintain healthy joints and keep him feeling his best.
As the cooler weather arrives, Benny can also become a little fresher! Ellie uses Calm & Collected PLUS to help provide nutritional support during these changes, helping her keep him focused and settled both at home and when out training.
With both products BETA NOPS tested, Ellie can have peace of mind when training and competing, knowing she has chosen products suitable for her competition horse.
Customer Autumn Must Haves
Administered to a mare on chemical treatment for Cushing's disease, gradually transitioning her to 100% Hilton Herbs, the mare has improved significantly since discontinuing the chemical treatment. She is more energetic and enjoys being with other horses. And there has been no recurrence of Cushing's symptoms so far after 5 months of treatment with Hilton Herbs.
I am determined to never be without this product. I have a Clydesdale mare that struggled with scratches and swollen legs. After doing a lot of reading about what she was going through, decided to give this a try. I have managed to get her scratches under control and the swelling in her legs is gone. I am very grateful to Hilton Herbs for offering this and it will continue to be in my feeding program.
My horse got spring metabolic upset, which was new to me, and was quite unhappy, and this product was incredible. The fast acting tincture is wonderful and did everything it said it would do, and helped alleviate my horses discomfort fast.
Absolutely love this product! With winter round the corner it is an essential part of my daily routine to prevent that dreaded mud fever! Plus all the coats look fabulous!
SAMMY EVANS
How is Sammy preparing for autumn?
Sammy and the lovely Elfie are also getting ready for autumn!
After a long, dry summer with very little grass, the recent rain has brought a welcome burst of growth. However, this sudden change in grazing can also mean an increase in the sugar content of the grass, so Sammy has added Insu-Lite to Elfie’s feeds to provide nutritional support for healthy metabolic function as his diet changes.
With Elfie also starting his winter dressage campaign, Sammy has introduced GastriX PLUS to his daily routine. It provides nutritional support for healthy digestive function, particularly during periods of travelling, competing and changes in grazing.
GastriX PLUS is BETA NOPS tested, giving Sammy added peace of mind when Elfie is out training and competing. Whether travelling to a competition, adjusting to changes in grass or preparing for the busy months ahead, GastriX PLUS helps Sammy support Elfie’s digestive health throughout the autumn and winter season.
