Here is a reply I made to a horse owner on the FB group I thought you might be interested in. If so please let me know – maybe I’ll dig in deeper on the next AMA.

Thank you for your reply. I asked this question as my mare has had a mild recent tying up episode. I have her Vit e and Se levels checked every 6 mos which have always been normal. She eats well and drinks during training as well as after. Just wondering if maybe I need to add in a BCAA electrolyte on training days or during training?… Read more

Hey everyone! I thought I would share a little of my horse’s journey regarding his nutritional development. We got Santana in October 2021. He had a ewe neck and no top line.

Reply to Weight loss in older horse
I enjoyed our phone call yesterday. You noted that the BCS was misrepresented here and should have been a 3 to 4.
