Researchers at Middle Tennessee State University are conducting a study on horse owners' beliefs about and use of supplements, and are seeking participants to complete an online survey.

Graduate student Nicole Swirsley is collecting information on where owners get supplement information, opinions about the safety and effectiveness of equine supplements, and if there is a correlation between breed or discipline and how horse owners choose supplements.
