In this episode Dr. Nicole Rambo and Sarah discuss how nutrition affects horse behavior and learning. Key topics include the influence of glucose on the equine brain, the effects of sugar and starch on hyperactivity, and the role of various nutrients like magnesium and B vitamins in nervous system function. They also explore the gut-brain axis and its impact on mood and behavior, dietary issues that might subtly affect horse performance, and the emerging research on DHA supplementation in foals for improved brain function. Practical advice on dietary analysis and the importance of a balanced diet for optimal equine health is also provided.
