Want to get the best out of your horse? Then understanding the basics of what they need to eat is key to keeping them healthy and performing at their peak. This Practical Feeding Strategies For Exercising Horses series by independent nutritionist Clare MacLeod guides you through the nutritional needs of horses in work, and how to feed them in a way that really supports muscle development, speed, and stamina.
The series stresses that while good nutrition is vital, exercise is what truly builds fitness. Think of diet as providing the fuel and building blocks that make that fitness possible. It covers important areas like:
- Energy requirements
- Protein’s role in recovery
- The importance of forage (that’s roughage, to you and me!)
- Vitamin and mineral supplementation
- Electrolyte balance
- Optimal feeding timing
Clare emphasises the importance of a balanced diet and clears up some common feeding misconceptions. A key takeaway? You can’t train your way to true fitness without supporting it with proper nutrition. The series is divided into four parts:
Horse Nutrition, Equine Feeding, Exercising Horses, Horse Diet, Equine Nutrition Basics, Performance Horse Nutrition, Horse Fitness, Horse Muscle, Horse Stamina, Horse Energy, Horse Protein, Horse Forage, Horse Supplements, Horse Electrolytes, Horse Feeding Timing, Animal Nutrition, Cale MacLeod
