Replay: Feed your horse like a horse

Replay: Feed your horse like a horse

To kick off Season 2 (2026), we’re re-sharing our most listened-to Season 1 episode of the Happy Horse Nutrition Podcast, and it’s a classic for a reason.

In this practical, science-backed episode, PhD equine nutritionist Dr Nerida breaks down what it really means to feed your horse like a horse, using evolution and gut physiology to help you understand and make modern feeding choices that truly honour your horse’s gastrointestinal physiology.

You’ll learn the 5 non-negotiables:

  • Why forage-first is the cornerstone of gut health
  • How fibre/forage variety supports microbial diversity (and why that matters for the whole horse)
  • Why horses need near-constant access to fibre to help protect the stomach
  • Why forage alone won’t cut it and the importance of a balanced diet; and
  • The importance of clean water + salt, every day

Whether you’re a horse owner, trainer, or vet, this episode gives you a simple, foundational understanding of every horse’s basic nutrition needs
