Botox for Laminitis!
Unfortunately, this will help the current crisis but not the underlying reason that the horse has laminitis in the first place! And this 2% estimate of horses having laminitis is probably extremely l…

Herbs for Horses
Is he getting a vitamin/mineral supplement? (and I DON"T mean a mineral block). Magnesium is used by the body to relax the muscles and calm the mind. Being in balance nutritionally can really calm a…

Herbs for Horses
Hi Holly - we have used herbs here with our facility for over 15 years. We use them instead of wormers, bute, and antibiotics (most of the time). I a fussy about where my herbs come from, use only hu…

I don't have any familiarity with the Mitavite Gumnuts or the Protexin. We only worm with herbs and clays so never worry about colic. (Never have had any in our herd). I would take a look at the vitamins and salt and evaluate them for the form of mi…
Good catch Vicky - I really detest the Senior Feeds that are marketed to horse owners. They truly are chemically preserved agriwaste with little or no actual nutrition - simply empty calories. They acidify your horse and actually increase the amount…
Hi Vickie -
It really depends upon whether it is a "true" Cushings, with a confirmed tumor on the pituitary. Many of the Cushing's like symptoms that we see in horses are tied to nutritional deficiencies - studies have tied it to a lack of magnesiu…

- We use soy oil because it is one of the easiest/most digestible (and efficient) oils for horses. Because we use such large quantities, it's not a by-product oil.

- I didn't answer your question from before either. You are correct in saying that a sweet feed is not always "sweet". However, the appearance is almost always classified as a sweet feed - creatures of habit we are!
If you mix the grains with oil rather than molasses, you can get a "sweet feed" looking mix. We have diverted to calling it a "ration" rather than a sweet feed. Low glycemic would be anything with a glycemic index or starch level around 14% or lower.

- I can give you an ingredient list...it is frowned on to put it on a group bulletin board however. LOL. If you send me your email, I would gladly fill you in on the ingredient lists for our specialty feeds.

- I work for Jones Feed Mills, in Ontario Canada. We have 4 different locations. I am at the Heidelberg location. I've been here for 3 years now. I finished my degree in Animal science focusing on nutrition at the University of Guelph, and "apprenticed" for 3 years as a nutritionist before starting here.
Unfortunatley our website does not do our equine feeding program a lot of justice....I"m working on changing that!!! Although we have soooo many benefits and resources to offer our equine customers, the equine division has not previously been a priority. We are currently very strong into a hog feeding program that is called "humane hog" which is an antibiotic free program where the hogs have to be raised in a humane environment. We probably do over 500 tonne a month for that. (Go figure, they get slaughtered in Quebec and the meat goes to Japan).
I am looking forward to continuing the growth of our horse feed division, and I would love to be associated with your website.

- Sounds like a spectacular feeding program!!
Current research has allowed us to formulate low glycemic (starch) sweet feeds. Unfortunately, there are few companies that will put the effort into sourcing the grains and ingredients needed to make a chemical free "organic" type feed. Fortunately for me, I work at the only mill in Ontario that is drug free, antibiotic free, prohibited materials free EU and organic certified. All of our horse feed gets made at our facility, and it feels amazing to be able to offer products like the ones you are talking about. I think the feed industry (and the consumers - horse owners) needs to start following this path for healthier horses in the future. Kudos to you for sticking with it!!!

- I agree with the holistic plan....but no sweet feeds????? Huge misconception about sweet feeds. I am guessing you feed pellets?

- Very nice to meet you as well. I am quite curious about your bio-nutritional experience! As an equine nutritionist myself I am always exploring different venues to achieve healthy results. Do you have a website?

Thanks Karen....have a great day!!
The late medieval nobility turned dressage into a sport by giving public demonstrations of "horse ballets" to wow the commoners during public celebrations. They would do airs above the ground as well as movements on the ground. The late medieval kni…
Special thanks to Wendy Christoff for submitting this to DC's Communications Committee.
There are horses that do not think the little fences are worth worrying about.
Are you lungeing him over the jumps just in a cavesson, or are you using side reins too? Do you lunge over jumps with a saddle on? Do not use side reins (I am not saying…
Where did I state that medival dressage was humane and correct?
I have stipulated that the SRS under Podhajsky presented dressage more correctly.
I know who Kottas is and he is not a horseman!

Hi Guys,One of the biggest mistakes riders make when we're trying to overcome horseback riding fears is that we direct our efforts toward the conscious mind. You know--willpower, iron-jawed determination. The problem with that strategy is that you c…
