1. Feed your horse like a horse

Saison 1 · Épisode 1

jeudi 24 avril 2025 • Durée 42:18

Honouring our horses' ancient gut

Welcome to the very first episode of the Happy Horse Nutrition Podcast! 🎙️
If you’ve ever wondered why “normal” modern feeding often leads to issues like colic, ulcers, unpredictable behaviour, poor condition, poor performance or picky eating… this episode is your starting point.

PhD equine nutritionist Dr Nerida takes you back to the horse’s blueprint: 55 million years of evolution as a grazing animal — and shows you the tiny sliver of time our horses have been living the way we keep horses today.

When you understand how the horse’s gut was designed to work, feeding becomes a whole lot simpler (and your horse gets a lot happier and healthier!).

In this episode you’ll walk through the 5 key rules of feeding your horse like a horse:

· Why forage should be the foundation of every diet

· How forage and fibre variety supports nutrient intake and gut resilience

· Why horses need near-constant access to fibre to help protect the stomach from acid

· The truth about balanced diets (why forage is essential… but often lacking critical nutrients); and

· The overlooked basics; clean water and salt, and why they directly affect feed intake and colic risk.

This is a practical, science-backed framework, delivered in Dr Nerida’s friendly, matter-of-fact manner, that you can apply whether you have a backyard pony, a performance horse, a racehorse, or a broodmare.

21. Does my horse need a supplement?

Saison 1 · Épisode 21

lundi 6 octobre 2025 • Durée 55:44

Confused about which supplements your horse actually needs? In this comprehensive episode, PhD equine nutritionist Dr. Nerida cuts through the marketing noise to reveal what's essential, what may be useful, and what's likely a waste of money.

Discover why salt is the one non-negotiable supplement every horse must have access to—and why compressed salt blocks might not be the best option. Learn when electrolytes are truly necessary (and the critical water access rule you must follow), plus get the inside story on hoof supplements, gut health products, mycotoxin binders, and bone mineral supplements.

Nerida shares practical insights on vitamin E deficiency in older hay, the truth about most current bacterial probiotics, how joint supplements fall short, and how to spot "snake oil" products that promise everything but deliver nothing. She also explains why feeding supplements at less than the recommended dose—tempting as it is to save money—often means you're just wasting your investment.

The bottom line? A balanced diet does 90% or more of the work in your horse’s diet. But when supplements are needed, knowing which ones actually work and how to use them properly can make all the difference to your horse's health.

Whether you're feeding a backyard companion or a performance athlete, this episode will help you make informed, evidence-based decisions about your supplement budget.
