Farm To Stable: An Equine Nutrition PodcastStaying Cool & HydratedIt's officially summer here in North America, and oh how hot it's become! Record high temperatures for the month of June have been set across the eastern half of the United States. How can you help your horse stay cool and hydrated? Should you ride or not? And what about that barn fan? Those are a few of the "hot" topics of this episode, along with how electrolytes actually work to keep a horse (and the human) hydrated. It gets a little science-y, but that's how I roll. I promise to make it fun and easy.

Farm To Stable: An Equine Nutrition PodcastHoof Health From a (Mostly) Dietary Standpoint'Tis the season for mud...and often some concerns about hooves that come with it. Diet is a key factor in hoof health, but it can't prevent all problems. In addition to a balanced diet, genetics, environment and farrier care all play into hoof health. In this episode, the focus is on some key nutrients to support hoof health, and answer some questions about biotin (because I know you're thinking about biotin when it comes to hooves!)

Farm To Stable: An Equine Nutrition PodcastHay Cubes vs. Hay Pellets: Is one better than the other?I was recently asked, "What's the difference between hay pellets and hay cubes?" It made for a fun conversation (if you're a horse nutrition geek like I am) and I thought it would be a good discussion. Pellets and cubes are obviously forage alternatives that originate from hay - pellets are from ground hay and cubes are chopped and compressed. There are different reasons one may add a pellet vs. a cube to a horse's diet, if at all. What about the horse who can't even chew hay anymore? Or if you are having trouble finding good quality forage...2025-05-3015 minFarm To Stable: An Equine Nutrition PodcastHay Analysis Explainer - What do all those numbers and letters mean?As a nutritionist, a hay analysis helps me create a complete, accurate picture of a horse's diet. Sometimes, it is not practical for a horse owner to acquire a hay or forage analysis. In other cases, an owner just doesn't know what to do with the information that comes back to them. In this episode, I'll explain a bit about the characteristics of good vs. poor quality hay - important if a hay analysis isn't available or practical. Then, I'll dive in to what some of those terms and values on a report actually mean. The point is to...2025-05-1623 minFarm To Stable: An Equine Nutrition PodcastDonkeys are NOT Small HorsesThis one is for the long ears! Donkeys are smart, loyal and wonderful companions.

Farm To Stable: An Equine Nutrition PodcastRevisiting Winter Hydration TipsWinter has come on strong here in much of North America, with some wild temperature swings. In winter, we rely more on hay for forage as pasture is unavailable. Hay and other dried forages have a lower water content compared to fresh pasture. In addition, extra hay is often provided to help a horse keep warm on cold days. More forage = more water needs! However, it is not uncommon for horses to drink less as temperatures drop. This week, we'll revisit some tips to help keep your horse hydrated in winter, and many of these tips are applicable all...2024-12-2713 minFarm To Stable: An Equine Nutrition PodcastPre-, Pro- and Post-biotics: An explainerPre-, pro- and post-bitoics get a lot of attention in the world of equine nutrition.

Farm To Stable: An Equine Nutrition PodcastTips for Transitioning Onto Spring PastureHere in North America, the temperatures are slowly getting warmer, and grass is growing faster and faster. For many horses, that means a transition from winter hay to spring pasture. As with anything, such a change requires time to minimize the risk of digestive upset, and should not be done suddenly.
