Thank you for your reply. I wonder if you would be willing to read a book called Mastering Diabetes- by Cyrus Khambatta and Robby Barbaro-it’s about humans only and insulin resistance. At first glance it seems entirely contrary but it actually isn’t (I don’t think anyway). They are saying IR is actually initiated by high fat and that by… Read more

The information on FFA’s in horses is limited to agenda driven bias from what I can see. This information is lean in horses as well versus what is known in humans. Because of this we need to step back and look at the general picture.

What should horses eat? They evolved eating ground plants and they migrated to find these. Today there is… Read more

Thank you so much Jenny. I will check to see if I can get that book. I am finding after 2 weeks that my gelding is less crusty with his diet change. I never did give grain but hay (and apple/carrot treats). But I did notice he doesn’t seem as hungry now which is making him more pleasant for sure. And I am working on consistency (we think… Read more

Hi Angela

I’ve had 2 seminal moments in the last 40yrs of horse ownership. The one was discovering Dr T and this diet, which changed my horse from carrying too much fat and not enough muscle to having a body that is well muscled and athletic.

The most important change people have told me about is that after the gut inflammation is reduced or eliminated the horses are more willing to listen, feel they are being listened to and successfully communicate. If the human is observing this then the horse will feel this improvement and actually show gratefulness. However if the human doesn’t… Read more

Thanks!

So as I understand it omega 3 is also a pufa and it is the relative ratio of 6 versus 3 that is part of the issue as I understand they bind the same receptors and seed oils having so much 6 relative to the 3 leads to increased inflammation. I am also under the impression that other fats can bind and transport the LPS fragments into… Read more

As far as I know, there is little written about or research on oils being added to horses diets in regards to them and Omega 3 or 6 formation. The addition of fat to horse diets was looked at in the 1980’s as a way to provide fuel to working horses. This included the addition of corn oil and animal fat. The result was that ANY fat added to the… Read more

That would be great if you would reach out to John. Thanks.
