12 Months of Feeding Tips  *
Here's how to roll with Mother Nature through the seasons, nutritionally speaking. Sometimes it feels as if humans have divorced themselves from the rhythms of nature.

Selenium: A Balancing Act
Today's horse owners are very supplement-oriented. When a new supplement hits the market, many horse owners are tempted to use it if they think it will somehow improve their horses' health. The problem occurs when a well-intentioned owner oversupplements a horse's diet either by not knowing the horse's current intake of minerals, or by thinking if ... Read full story

Antioxidants and Heaves  *
When a horse inhales mold spores or other irritants, neutrophils (specific types of white blood cells) release reactive oxidants--generally very reactive substances that can break down mold in the airways.

Analyzing Forages   *
We all know a horse's primary food is pasture grass and/or hay (forage). The quality of the forage is, thus, a major factor affecting his health. Do you know if your horse's forage meets his needs?

Vitamin E for Better Health  *
Nonenzymatic antioxidants, such as vitamin E, are critically important to protect horses from tissue damage and disease, and they might enhance immunity during these processes.

Building Blocks?   *
They come in various colors and sizes. Some weigh 50 pounds, others a pound or less. But how do we know which salt and/or mineral block to place before our animals?

Can You Influence Hoof Growth?   *
We ask an awful lot of an animal who walks on his middle toenails. Humans have recognized for centuries that the foundation of a horse's soundness lies in his hooves--"No foot, no horse" is about as basic a principle as there is. It all comes down to the forces exerted by a 1,000- to 2,000-pound animal on four rather small and specialized bits of keratin. ... Read full story

How long has it been since you really looked at the content of your horse's concentrate feed?

It's ... Read full story

Researchers at Oregon State University and elsewhere are continuing to examine the role of vitamin E in horse health, including disease prevention and therapy.

Amazing Minerals  *
Of all the ingredients of a horse's diet, minerals are unique. They contain no carbon, which makes them inorganic molecules. In fact, essentially, they’re rocks--and it can be difficult to imagine their being digested by a horse.

The first thing to address in this story is that most "bone cysts" are not typically "cysts," by strict definition.
