      Hi everyone! I posted the replay of last night’s AMA. Here is a list of some of the things we covered. Be sure to go to the discussion to view the replay (Forum “Zoom Meetings” and go to the discussion “[[REPLAY]] AMA #004”).

      We cover the following topics (and then some):

      • Does magnesium malate get absorbed better than other forms of Mg in horses?
      • What determines the shedding of the winter hair coat other than increasing daylight?
      • What is Cervical Vertebral Malformation in horses and is it genetic?
      • What should be done with a 31 yr old mare with a fecal egg count of 2000 epg?
      • Why is it wrong to feed last summer’s grass throughout the year?
      • Why is a 3 yr old having bit trouble even though he was recently floated?

      I discuss:

      • My deworming protocol and some history behind deworming.
      • How excess glucose in the blood damages the lining of our blood vessels (atherosclerosis) and possibly is the base cause for laminitis.
      • How the cells generate energy.
      • How fat is a preferred fuel over glucose.
      • How baby teeth in young horses affect the use of a bit in training.

      And more!!
