On this episode, co-hosts Dr. Tania Cubitt and Katy Starr discuss how proper nutrition management can minimize the risk of a horse developing gastric ulcers including:

• Can horses have reflux?

• What is the best type of hay for horses suffering from gastric ulcers?

• Should you feed your horse before you ride or wait 30 minutes to an hour after feeding to ride?
