Episode description

A special episode with Bec Ham who is an equine nutritionist at Kentucky Equine Research. We delve into equine nutrition and managing fat ponies, exploring the importance of a balanced diet tailored to each horse's needs. She most correctly points out - what a horse eats can either help or hinder them. Discover practical strategies for weight management, considering exercise, grazing, and metabolic conditions. We go down the rabbit hole of overweight horses and Bec gives some insightful reasons why that "fat pony" is still "fat" even though it is ridden a lot and lives in a permanent diet paddock!
