[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]‘A foaming horse is a relaxed horse.’ – At least that’s what many people in equestrian sports assume. But this is not always the case, as the foaming of a horse is influenced by several factors. It is noticeable that horses have a sticky, white foam at their mouths more and more often. However, this foam is likely artificial.<\/b><\/p>\n

Artificial foam – the new hack in equestrian sport<\/span><\/h2>\n

A happily chewing horse with foam at its mouth is supposed to be one of many dressage-typical characteristics. But not every horse has a stimulated flow of saliva, which is why many riders feel the need to help out. In the past, hacks to <\/span>stimulate the foaming of a horse<\/b> have been used many times. But it is not just apples and sugar cubes anymore, the new trick: Marshmallow Fluff.<\/span><\/p>\n

Marshmallow fluff finds new use<\/span><\/h2>\n

The fact that some horses have a sticky substance on their mouths has been noticed by experts in top-level sports for some years now. Apparently, this sticky substance is marshmallow fluff, which is smeared on the horse’s mouth to <\/span>preserve its immaculate appearance in dressage<\/b>. Since appearance is very important in dressage, riders do not want a dry mouth to be the reason for failing a competition.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ban on fake foam?<\/span><\/h2>\n

In many competitions, numerous riders smeared fake foam on their horse’s mouth. Both stewards and veterinarians noticed the artificial paste on the horses’ mouths, but so far there are <\/span>no laws regulating or even banning the use of such paste<\/b>. For the FEI it is important that some points in the dressage rules will get altered. This should also put an end to the marshmallow fluff.<\/span><\/p>\n

The application of a white paste, which is supposed to serve as a foam imitation, counts as an <\/span>attempt to cheat<\/b>. In addition, the use of such a paste is against the welfare of the horse, as it can cover up injuries to the mouth. According to the FEI, such fraud should be punished with a warning or a yellow card.<\/span><\/p>\n
