  • Why forage should always be the foundation of your horse’s diet
  • How different fiber sources (like beet pulp, alfalfa, and grass hay) impact gut health
  • What “forage quality” really means and how hay maturity can affect digestion
  • Practical feeding strategies to apply when you can’t control your horse’s hay (e.g. when your horse is at a boarding facility)
  • The truth about supplements (and when they’re actually worth it)

If your horse struggles with free fecal water syndrome, or even if you’d just like to better understand equine gut health, hindgut function, and forage nutrition as the foundation of your horse’s diet, this episode is jam packed with practical, science-backed insights you can start applying to support your horse.

Here’s What the Research Says Many horse owners focus on choosing the best hay, grain, or supplements, but research shows that when you feed can also impact how well your horse utilizes protein and amino acids.

On this episode, co-hosts Dr. Tania Cubitt and Katy Starr and guest Dr. Sara Mastellar, equine nutrition researcher and professor at Ohio State ATI, break down her research on meal frequency and protein metabolism in horses, including:

  • The difference between “just feeding protein” vs. ensuring your horse gets the right amino acids
  • Why feeding multiple meals a day can improve your horse’s nutrient absorption
  • Simple, practical ways to adjust your horse’s feeding routine for better health

As Dr. Mastellar mentions, “Observation is central to good horsemanship.” If you’ve ever wondered whether your feeding schedule is truly working for your horse, this is an episode you don’t want to miss!

On this episode, co-hosts Dr. Tania Cubitt and Katy Starr and guest Dr. Sara Mastellar, equine nutrition researcher and professor at Ohio State ATI, break down her research on meal frequency and protein metabolism in horses, including:

  • The difference between “just feeding protein” vs. ensuring your horse gets the right amino acids
  • Why feeding multiple meals a day can improve your horse’s nutrient absorption
  • Simple, practical ways to adjust your horse’s feeding routine for better health

As Dr. Mastellar mentions, “Observation is central to good horsemanship.” If you’ve ever wondered whether your feeding schedule is truly working for your horse, this is an episode you don’t want to miss!

  • A hay analysis will come back reporting on starch, ESC, and WSC
  • A non-forage feed label will generally report on ESC, which is sugar, but this is still not quite the number for NSC

Dr. Cubitt balances four example diets, as if she were working with a client for the following horses, each at 1,000 pounds, feeding 2% of their bodyweight of local grass hay:

 

• A trail riding horse – easy keeper in maintenance to light exercise

• A dressage horse – moderate exercise

• A barrel racing horse – heavy exercise

• A senior horse – hard keeper in maintenance, with teeth issues

 

Dr. Cubitt walks through a local hay analysis, comparing a few hay types and qualities, what specific nutrients stand out to her when reviewing the results and what other forage or feed types she would add to develop a well-balanced diet for each horse example to ensure their nutrient requirements are being met.

 

Local hay can have different nutritional quality depending on the experience of the hay grower, but also if you live in the eastern or western United States or somewhere in between from environmental influences. There is also no one certain way to balance a horse diet. What works for some, may not work for others. This is why working with a knowledgeable and experienced equine nutritionist can be so valuable.

 

These examples don’t consider all the other variables that can occur with owning horses because every horse and situation is different. If you have specific questions about your equine, please reach out to us directly.

From newborn to one year of age, young horses are known as foals. This first year of life is instrumental in determining how a horse’s future will play out, and poor nutrition can be devastating in a number of different ways. 

During this episode, Dr. Stephen Duren, PhD. equine nutrition specialist, joins us for a discussion about some of the most important nutritional elements of a horse’s diet. From protein to zinc, to the “big two” nutrients (i.e. calcium and phosphorus), 

Dr. Duren explains the importance of each and the issues that can arise if a foal receives more or less than the optimal amount. You will also learn about the digestive system of foals, when foals should be started on solids, and how the diet of a pregnant mare impacts the fetus. 

 

Key Points from This Episode:

  • The definition of a foal
  • Where you can access a comprehensive list of nutrients for horses
  • Nutrients that are critical for foal growth
  • Symptoms of nutrient deficiency in foals
  • The dangers of overfeeding a foal
  • How to support a foal whose mother is not producing enough milk
  • The age at which foals should start consuming hay and concentrates
  • Problems that arise due to a lack of protein
  • Why calcium and phosphorus are known as the “big two”
  • The importance of getting the calcium-phosphorus ratio right
  • How zinc impacts foal growth
  • The effects of inadequate levels of copper in a foal’s diet
  • What a foal’s digestive system looks like
  • How the diet of a pregnant mare will affect the foal after birth
  • The growth stages that a foal goes through during the first year of life
  • How your goals for the foal should determine their nutrition management plan
  • The benefits of a smooth growth curve
  • How to minimize weight issues when a foal is weaned off his mother’s milk
  • Advice on what to feed a growing foal
  • Some of the most common developmental orthopedic diseases
  • Exercises that young, growing horses should not engage in

Why are heritage breeds endangered? 🤔

The Livestock Conservancy states that with modern agriculture favoring a few specialized breeds, traditional breeds have fallen out of favor. Small family farms where these breeds once thrived are disappearing at an alarming rate - and with them historic breeds are disappearing as well. 

Here is a list of species and breeds on their Conservation Priority list - https://livestockconservancy.org/heritage-breeds/conservation-priority-list/

Why are heritage breeds endangered? 🤔

The Livestock Conservancy states that with modern agriculture favoring a few specialized breeds, traditional breeds have fallen out of favor. Small family farms where these breeds once thrived are disappearing at an alarming rate - and with them historic breeds are disappearing as well. 

Here is a list of species and breeds on their Conservation Priority list - https://livestockconservancy.org/heritage-breeds/conservation-priority-list/

• Can horses have reflux?

• What is the best type of hay for horses suffering from gastric ulcers?

• Should you feed your horse before you ride or wait 30 minutes to an hour after feeding to ride?

 

This episode is jam packed and we cover so many questions! Even if you’ve never owned a horse with gastric ulcers, you’ll want to tune in because in the words of Benjamin Franklin, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”
