Why You Should Avoid Bran Mashes

In days gone by, it was not uncommon to warm up some water and mix it with some bran to make a nice mash for your horse. Many believed it helped warm their horses during a cold winters night. Others believed a bran mash had a nice laxative effect and aided their horse's digestion. In this week's podcast we highlight why feeding bran or making a bran mash may not be such a good idea for your horse. We highlight what exactly bran is, what nutrients it has and why it may be a bad idea, even as a treat. We offer other alternatives that are better and healthier treats for your horse and how you can help them better during those cold winter nights.
