Clare MacLeod: The Truth About Feeding Horses

Our Equestrian Life

This comprehensive discussion with my guest Claire, an independent equine nutritionist, navigates through the intricacies of horse nutrition.

We explore various aspects of feeding horses, emphasizing that there is no one-size-fits-all approach.

Key topics include the importance of appropriate forage, the role of supplements, the need for a balanced diet, managing underweight and overweight horses, and tips for choosing the right feed.

We also discuss the impact of grazing management, forage types, and the significance of professional insight into equine feeding strategies to ensure optimal health and performance.

We covered all the important aspects of correct equine nutrition and I hope you’ll find this conversation helpful.
