EQUI LIVING
spoga horse 2025: next generation
The EQUI LIVING special show in 2025 will be organised around the theme 'next generation' and will focus on how to attract children to the equestrian scene in the future and how to make it easier for them to get involved. Riding schools, equipment and safety will also be discussed. The extent to which playful elements can encourage access will also be explored. The focus areas provide a basis for presenting innovative concepts and solutions to the current challenges and opportunities in the equestrian industry and for stimulating dialogue.
Impressions of the EQUI LIVING special show at spoga horse 2024:
Where is horse husbandry headed in the future? What are the latest feed trends?
Hardly any other area has changed as much in recent years as horse husbandry and feeding. Our special show EQUI LIVING demonstrated where developments are heading. It was dedicated to the equine habitat.
In addition to the presentation of current forms of husbandry from stall to open stable, this year's focus topic was "Healthy stomach, healthy horse". New findings on stomach-friendly, adaptive and economical nutrition was presented and discussed. Because according to current studies, more than 50% of all horses suffer from stomach ulcers or a preliminary stage of it. This is triggered by many interrelated factors, including stress, incorrect husbandry or training methods as well as feeding errors.
Innovative feed products were therefore placed in the overall context at the themed area. How can stomach diseases be recognised and avoided? How can a balanced, preventative but also soothing diet be organised in terms of stomach health? How can nutritional management be adjusted and changed in a targeted manner - individually for leisure, sport and race horses as well as adapted to age, size and weight? Trade visitors learned about feed developments based on the latest research - from concentrated feed to supplements. EQUI LIVING was organised together with the feed experts and advisors from EQUOVIS.
