The gut microbiomes are very different between horses. Adjusting the food to develop the gut microbes that make each horse healthy is exactly what is needed. For some it is no adjustment and for others it is soaking…

Look for reservoirs of starch. Insulin appears when starch is ingested. The amount of starch in hay is often overlooked especially when it is added to the starch of the grass in the pasture. Limiting this through soaking the hay and limiting the intake will reduce insulin – just like living through winter.

Reply to Should Your Horse Be Turned Out On Green Grass? Horse Talk Episode #5
It seems complex @Sandy_K but it isn’t. For me to learn this I have replayed a lot of podcasts and books. This month’s webinar is my attempt to break down these mechanics into small parts to better understand the overall issue of glucose disposal, insulin, resistance, and EMS (Equine Metabolic Syndrome).
As far as the sugar content of grass,…

@Sandy_K Previcox is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) which was shown by the Texas A&M vet school to eliminate a family of microbes that normally populate the mouth of horses – after only 1 dose. HOWEVER, this must be balanced against why it is needed to be used. Many horses have been on long term NSAID’s without a gut issue.…

I have been listening to a very interesting, 25 hour long book about the history of human nutritional research as I drive. The bad news take-away is that egos, the news media and poor technology all combined to deliver confusing, conflicting and ever changing information of what we were supposed to eat to remain healthy. Yet today heart…

Reply to Yawning at feeding time
Yawning is often thought of as a stress release but there are so many other reasons not associated with stress at all. It is not just the yawn but the movement of the tongue during and after the yawn that may indicate an attempt to clear out debris or distribute saliva.
The first thought is that there is something stuck between the teeth…

Reply to Fly control in the Southeast
I posted this somewhere else but I must have missed this post (identical on Solitude) – so I will copy and paste here:
From the Zoetis website is the following on how Solitude works:
HOW IT WORKS
1) SOLITUDE IGR is fed daily to the horse and is excreted in the manure.
2) House and stable flies lay their eggs in the manure, and the eggs hatch… - Load More
