Horse Feeding Myths Discussed with Dr. Staniar

[@s.lawrence9736]

My riding school always told me that if my school horse was hot after a lesson to let her go and drink 10 or so gulps worth of water and then bring her in to rest and then in say 10mins someone (obviously after I had left) would then cheak she was cooled down and then take her back out for another longer drink ☺️ Glad to know I was toughs the correct way

It is amazing how much mis-information is out there. Thanks for clearing up a few things.

I've read Roman centurions fed their horses fava sprouts. How do we know?

I live in Central Florida where the summers are very hot and humid. I resist letting my horse work very much as "the charts" indicate heat plus humidity is an important factor. According to the charts I've seen I should never work my horse for about 4 months of the year. Do horses acclimate to a degree? Or is it best to avoid riding?

I'm planning on adopting a couple BLM mustangs in the near-somewhat-less-near future. Any recommendations for feed? Should they be OK on pasture if that's what they've been on their whole lives (fairly similar, semi-arid, high altitude climate), supplemented in the fall, winter, and early spring with grass hay?

Thank you both for this very informative video.

We fed our broodmares and babies alfalfa or lucerne as it’s called in Australia we fed it and oats alone to good mares and their foals on good pastures

Based on what I have been reading, it appears to be healthier to allow horses access via slow feeder 24/7 to good quality hay (prevents gastric ulcers) than to feed rationed hay + grain. That grain isn't really all that good/needed for horses - is that true?

One always talks about not feeding more than 2.5 kg per meal time.. what would u say are the volume constraints considering how small the horses stomach is relative to rest of GIT. How would one go about measuring that volume.. e.g. feeding something like speedi-beet which swells up considerably (obviously one soaks before feeding) ..so even 100 grams (before soaking) could land up being 500 grams of feed at the end.. .. and then u add concentrate feed and before u know it u feeding less than 2 kg but volume wise its huge!!

I’ve heard to soak your hay before feeding it to your horse. Is this true?
