Feeding Horses podcast

Welcome to Feeding Horses, sponsored by Kentucky Performance Products.

Do you have a senior horse that is thin? If so, and since we are firmly into fall, the time to prepare him for winter is now. Regardless of the reasons, if your senior horse (or any horse for that matter) is underweight, you might want him to gain some weight before the temperature really starts to drop. To that end, in this episode, Dr. Shannon Pratt-Phillips joins Stephanie Ruff to help us understand how to best put weight on our hard keepers.
