Does the frequency of meals affect horse behavior? We did a study on that! -With Dr.'s Sara Mastellar and Elizabeth Share of The Ohio State University
Welcome special guests Dr. Sara Mastellar, Associate Professor at The Ohio State University ATI and Dr. Elizabeth Share, 4-H Program Specialist at The Ohio State University! If you've ever seen horses "guarding" hay nets or feed sources, or wondering how best to manage feeding time when horses are fed in groups, tune in for some helpful information. I was fortunate enough to be a collaborator on studies run by Dr.'s Mastellar and Share investigating the effect of meal frequency on horse behavior, and the data was presented at the recent Equine Science Society Symposium in June, 2025. These researchers were gracious enough to take some time to explain how they conducted the study and why, and the all-important results and insights gained from the research. The information learned is useful in the everyday management of horses, especially if you have more than one living in a common space. Tune in for an enjoyable conversation about how real scientific research leads to practical horse management guidelines from those who love horses!
