Getting a new horse is exciting! But, for the horse, a new owner can mean lots of change and stress. As herd animals that prefer routine, horses become stressed when moving to a new home with new horses, people, and expectations. Dietary changes during transitions can also cause stress. Combined, these changes increase a horse’s risk of serious health issues, such as gastric ulcers and colic. That’s why taking steps to reduce both dietary and other stress when getting a new horse is important.
In this episode, Dr. Clair and Michelle cover:
-Discussing a horse’s diet with the seller.
-Safely changing feed schedules.
-What to do when you’re unable to source the horse’s same hay and grain.
-Turnout.
-Ways to manage stress.
