Feeding Performance Horses Part 2: Diets by Discipline

Farm To Stable: An Equine Nutrition Podcast by Dr. Nettie Liburt

Episode notes

In part one, you heard about the building blocks of a performance horse's diet. This week incorporated muscle fiber types, a very general description of the types of fuel each muscle type burns, and how to use that information to build a diet based on the type of work your horse does. The differences between feeding for a sprint and feeding for endurance are just some of the examples discussed. Remember, the discussion here is very general and for illustrative purposes only. Each individual horse has unique dietary needs. Episode Art Photo Credit to TheHorse.com.
