Hydration and Hind Gut Health

In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Jyme Nichols, Director of Nutrition at Bluebonnet Feeds and host of the Feed Room Chemist podcast, for an in-depth conversation about keeping your horse healthy from the inside out. We dive into hydration hacks for hauling and summer competition, break down the three key areas of the horse’s digestive and metabolic system, and talk through common signs of hind gut health issues you don’t want to overlook. Whether you’re on the road or riding at home, this episode is packed with practical takeaways to help your horse feel and perform their best.
