On this episode, co-hosts Dr. Cubitt and Katy chat about hay alternative options for horses that travel for shows, if your winter supply is running out or to proactively prepare yourself if you ever experience a natural disaster.  

They also discuss how to safely transition your horse when introducing new feeds, different types of hay or different hay forms (long stem vs. cube vs. pellet, etc.) to minimize the risk of colic and how to improve your horse’s diet when the only hay you have available is lower quality hay.

On this episode, Standlee Quality Assurance Manager, Brianna Randow, joins Dr. Cubitt and Katy to chat about her background with horses, her unique education experience and how it benefits Standlee customers.

Notes:

23:46 – Brianna mentions Standlee hay is ‘cured’ once its cut before being baled, which means hay is left in the field to be ‘sun-cured’ or ‘dried’ naturally from the sun.

Percentage of values:

• 24% of 1 pound is 3.84 ounces
• 12% of 2 pounds is 3.84 ounces
• 6% of 4 pounds is 3.84 ounces
• 3% of 8 pounds is 3.84 ounces

"Percentages mean nothing, zip, zero, nothing, unless you're applying them to a value. I could tell you 100%, 100% of what? A grain of rice? Well that's nothing versus 1%, 1% of what, jumbo jet? That's a lot." - Dr. Tania Cubitt

"A by-product of fiber digestion in the hindgut, is heat. The best way to keep your horse warm in the wintertime, is to feed it plenty of fiber." - Dr. Tania Cubitt

Neck crest fat in horses has been suggested to be associated with insulin resistance and increased risk for laminitis. Recent research has developed a novel scoring system for grading neck crest fatness with the "cresty neck scoring system."
