If you are concerned about your horse’s nutrition, it is best to consult with a nutritionist to optimize what your horse is getting.
Several options are available to you for nutrition consults:
– Your brand of feed may have a nutritionist on staff that can guide you.
– If you are a DIY’er, a website like FeedXL.com might be best for you.
– Independent nutritionists – these are not affiliated with brand name companies.
– Dr Clair Thunes: www.clarityequine.com
– Dr Rachel Mottet: legacyequine.com
– Dr Julie Getty: gettyequinenutrition.com
When you are preparing to speak to a nutritionist, it’s important to know what your horse is getting currently. All feed materials should be weighed and amounts fed should be listed by weight, not by “scoop” or “cup”.
If you are interested in learning more about nutrition, the Facebook group Equine Nutrition Education is a wonderful resource. Only nutritionists and their admins can post.
**The Vet Corner groups encourage members to establish a relationship with their local veterinarian, don’t wait until an emergency.**
