12. Horse Nutrition Q&A: Ulcers, Soy, Nitrates & More with Nerida and Orla

Join Dr. Nerida McGilchrist and long-time friend and fellow horse industry veteran Orla for a lively and insightful Q&A. With decades of combined experience—ranging from pasture sampling to product development—these two dive deep into real-world horse nutrition challenges.

In this episode, we unpack:

• When (and when not) to use omeprazole in horses

• Why nitrate testing in hay should be standard practice

• The truth about soy as a protein source for horses

• Practical, low-cost strategies to support gut health and safe weight loss

Whether you're a racehorse trainer, casual competitor, or passionate horse lover, you'll walk away with practical advice and a clearer understanding of the science behind what your horse eats.

🎧 Listen in for no-nonsense answers and great conversation from two women who’ve been there, done that—and are still well and truly in the saddle with it!
