16. Horse Nutrition Q&A: Winter Feeding, Pastures Problems & Weight Management

Dr. Nerida and Orla are back! And in this Q&A, they dive into some of the trickiest horse nutrition topics—because let’s face it, feeding horses isn’t always straightforward.

Tune in as they explore:

Calcium deficiencies in horses grazing lush, fertilized pasture and why lucerne (alfalfa) may be your best friend

Feeding in wet, cold weather—how rain-soaked pasture can lead to weight loss in weanlings and what to do about it

Managing overweight, unmotivated horses (the ones that just won’t get their go forward going forward!)—with smart diet and exercise tips tailored for PSSM and metabolic types

The salt debate—why loose rock salt wins out over blocks, and how electrolytes play into muscle health and performance

Whether your horses are drenched in a soggy winter, grazing rich pasture, or packing a bit too much padding, this episode is full of practical advice and field-tested strategies to keep them healthy.

🧂 🌱 🐴 No fluff—just expert insights, shared laughs, and real solutions.
