KarenM started the discussion Talk to me about PSSM in the forum Systems And Diseases 5 years ago
Last fall my vet suggested PSSM (some variant of type 2) may be the source of Rem’s “issues”. (e.g. Repeated colic symptoms, reluctance to go forward, irritability, among others.) She suggested it again a month ago. Naturally there aren’t a ton of resources for the horse owner. She pointed me to Michigan State’s site, and I’ve found similar…

Hi Matt. When I open this it’s “Feeding salt to horses” which I thought was Issue 1. Should it be different? Many thanks!

Hi everyone. On a similar theme, if a horse licks the soil occasionally particularly during the winter, could that be sign the horse is lacking a nutrient which we should address or is it a natural adaptive response? Thanks

I’ve been completely compliant with this diet for 2-1/2 years. Two years in, I spent $300 to run a full blood panel on one of my four horses just to check and it came back showing he was getting everything he needed from pasture, grass and alfalfa hay, dehulled SBM, water and free choice naturally mined salt.

Reply to Justifying not feeding a vitamin/mineral supplement
Hi Jenny – this is a common question or, I should say, mental block for horse owners looking at an all forage diet. Their response appears valid as fences do void any notion of “natural.” However they are overlooking two thoughts about horse nutrition.
The first is that the best source of minerals for horses is the ground water pumped from…

Justifying not feeding a vitamin/mineral supplement
Hi All,
When chatting to horsey people about this diet and saying providing you are giving your horses good quality hay/grass, ground water and a salt lick they shouldn’t need added vitamins and minerals, the standard reply is…… “Ah yes, but we fence them in. In the wild they have access to many different grasses and plants to eat”.… Read more

Glad this one was recorded. I’ll replay it. Trying to focus on heady topics while dogs decided to wrestle in front of me, and the husband meandered through asking if my connection was working okay, was hopeless. 😒

Thanks for the webinar, it was really interesting. I’m glad it was recorded as I needed a second listen! I knew exercise is important but had no idea just how important.
Years ago I stumbled across a TED talk by Prof Lustig called Sugar The Bitter Truth. This was during the time of ‘low fat’. He was illustrating just how ‘toxic’ too much…

Glad you enjoyed it! Once you have watched it again feel free to ask any questions below 😀 I think the next one we may try to do at noon eastern that way it is also easier on me to help out as well. Unfortunately I am sure there will never be an ideal time for everyone but that is why they will always be recorded and the discussion can…
