You can lead a horse to water, but you better let him drink! Today we’ll be discussing forage and water, two essential components of any equine’s diet AND as we’ll learn important factors that can mitigate (or increase) our risk of colic.

DID YOU KNOW? Daily water flux through the horse’s large intestine is equivalent of their entire extracellular fluid volume (~100L)! An important consideration when thinking about the risk of impaction colic associated with dehydration.

REMEMBER: Tomorrow is our LAST DAY with our Week One Guest Expert Dr. Pearson. Put any last minute questions that you might have about supplements/colic/leaky gut in the discussion for her!!
