Refeeding the Starved Horse

Unfortunately, there are instances where a horse may be starved. This may be due to owner neglect, a lack of education on what a horse’s dietary needs are, or it may be medical in nature. In this week's podcast, we focus in on why owners need to be extra cautious when trying to start refeeding a starved horse. Our good nature tells us to give the horse as much food as it can ingest. However, we explain why this is the exact opposite of what you need to do. We further explain how these horses must be refed slowly, which feeds to select, and what to look for. We finish out the podcast on giving other tips on how best to manage horses under these extreme circumstances.
