Understanding Basic Horse Nutrition and Feeding for Health (Part 1 & 2)

Overview

One diet does not fit all horses!!

Have you ever wondered if you are feeding your horse correctly? Are you meeting all its requirements? Is its nutritional status allowing it to perform at its peak? Could the ration be better?

Feeding your horse the right diet is an important part of equine care and something many people worry about. With so many commercially available products on the market, it can become quite confusing as to which is the 'best' for your horse.

Your horses activities will impact on the type of ration it should be fed. Are you riding for pleasure, are you competing on weekends for fun or are you a professional with a high-performance horse?

These questions are important to determine the nutrient composition of the ideal ration for your particular circumstance. One diet does not fit all horses!!

Do you know how much energy your horse needs to perform at its optimum and the consequences of providing too much energy in the diet? How much protein is the right amount of protein? How many vitamins and minerals are really needed? What are the negative consequences of feeding too much, too little or the incorrect ingredients to your horse?

There's quite a science behind the answers to these questions.

seventyWest has invested in the expertise of a former University lecturer and equine nutritionist (Dr Mark Barnett) to bring you this scientifically based education program. This easy to follow course will give you a basic but thorough understanding of the underlying principles of equine nutrition. Understanding the simplified science will allow you to make an educated evaluation of what you are feeding your horse, determine whether changes need to be made or just choose the most appropriate feed from the many products on the market.
