Lectins are found in the outer coverings of seeds, fruits and leaves of all plants. Animals have adapted to these toxins in many ways. Horses have limited their diet to ground plants and have come to terms…

The final installment of the series on feeding horses. Dig in deeper by enrolling in the Horsemanship Nutrition Course. Congratulations on reading all of these.

Lectins are plant proteins made to discourage animals from eating their seeds by making the animals sick. Insidious over years, they confuse the other causes of disease.

Feeding supplements to horses fill a void in their nutrition. But are they necessary and effective? Are there guarantees to their quality or their quantity in the product?

An objective discussion about feeding horses with GMO foods treated with pesticides and herbicides. Why to worry and why we should not worry.

Protein in the maintenance of horses is not appreciated. It is not complicated. Our training of feeding horses has ignored the importance.

Where do horses get their fat if all they eat is ground plants (pasture and hay)? The answer is from bacterial digestion of cellulose. Here are the details.

Feeding sugar every day in excess of horse’s needs creates a dependency no different than drugs and alcohol. This blog explains why.

Inside every car is an engine needing fuel and inside every cell of your horse are engines called mitochondria. They both need maintenance.

The digestive tract of the horse has a 1 cell thick lining with an army of defense cells behind it. Attacks on this cause the immune system to respond.

You are not feeding the horse but you are feeding the trillions of microbes within their gut and they, in turn, feed the cells of the horse. Happy gut microbes = healthy horse.

The similarities and differences between sugar, fat and protein. It is essential to understanding how these interact in the health of horses.

All equids graze ground plants. They avoid taller plants with more woody cellulose (lignin). Ruminants browse eating short and tall plants.

Complexicate – to complicate things to make people look more intelligent and feel more significant and usually agenda based. I decomplexicate horse feeding.

Horses are becoming too complicated to keep as I watch everyone try to better others as to why their theories are better. So I made a new word – complexicate – to describe this phenomenon.
