While every facet of horse health care is important, proper nutrition is vital.  Depending on your horse’s age, level of exercise, and the time of year, nutritional requirements may vary.  Under or overfeeding can lead to problems, as can an improper rate of growth or imbalance in the diet.  Your veterinarian can assist you in designing a feeding program and evaluating the quality of the ration.  For more Horse Health Information, visit the Web site of the American Association of Equine Practitioners at www.MyHorseMatters.com.
