Is your saddle fitting your horse as well as it could? 🤔 Back tracing is super helpful for a bunch of reasons! It lets you monitor your horse's weight and shape, spot any asymmetry, and even check if one saddle works for two horses. Plus, it's awesome to use when you're shopping for a new saddle, giving you a much better idea of what will fit. It's all about keeping your horse comfy and performing their best! 🐴 Contact me today to learn more and schedule an appointment for saddle fit or book a saddle fit clinic at your facility. Not local to ND? I have back tracing kits available on my website. You can also download my free guide and use your own supplies. Link in bio!

💯 I’m not a fan of many supplements anyway. You’re paying for a lot of water with those too. I believe nutrition and environment should be addressed first. Then, pill or powder is my preferred form IF I need to give anything. Keeping it non-toxic here!

Something you might look out for in the ingredient list of liquid supplements.

Polysorbate 20 or 80.

Polysorbate is an emulsifier that helps two liquids that don’t naturally mix together, mix. Like oil and water. The problem with this ingredient is how readily it alters the gut microbiome and degrades intestinal cell integrity.

While I was unable to find studies on polysorbates in horses specifically, there are many in humans. One study found cell death to occur in as little as 0.1% concentration of polysorbate, with inflammatory responses at even lower concentrations.

Until we know more in horses, this is an ingredient I personally will steer clear of!

Read the label!

Here are a couple open access studies for those interested

Did you know?

In a natural environment, horses will typically eat about 18 hours per day. (Give +/- depending on which article you’re reading 😉)

While “meal feeding” is the common practice among horse owners, it’s important to take into consideration the amount of time between meals when there is no access to long stem forage.

At 6 hours, reddening of the stomach lining can occur, and at 18 hours, bleeding lesions (aka ulcers).

It’s recommended that horses never go more than 4 hours without long stem forage passing through the gut. In the situation where free choice access isn’t a viable option, try utilizing slow feed hay nets to help slow down consumption and drag out the time between feedings.
