Say goodbye to runny p**p and dirty butts. Clean tails brought to you by ProbioticWise®: a three-pronged approach to total digestive tract support.

With ProbioticWise, your horse can reap the benefits of a research-proven formula combining S. boulardii and fermentation metabolites to promote a healthy stomach and hindgut.

Is your horse's hindgut healthy and happy? Would you be able to tell if it wasn't?

Signs of an unhappy hindgut include:
1) Weight loss/poor body condition
2) Acute or chronic diarrhea
3) Poor attitude
4) Decreased performance

Is your horse exhibiting any of those signs? Click the link in the comments to discover how to return your horse's hindgut to normal.

Your horse is a home. Not just to all of your hopes and dreams, but also to quadrillions (yes, quadrillions!) of microorganisms that have set up shop in your horse's digestive tract.

The sheer scale of the population of bacteria inside your horse's hindgut is nearly unfathomable. Leading equine nutritionist David Frape once wrote “…the bacteria cells in the digestive tract of the horse number more than ten times all the tissue cells in the body.”

The microbial population is incredibly vast, but also very sensitive; therefore, they must be carefully maintained to protect against changes that can lead to digestive upset, colic, and laminitis. Find out how at the link in the comments.

According to the American Association of Equine Practitioners, the equine stomach makes up less than 10% of the total volume of the horse’s digestive tract. Comparatively, the hindgut is huge! Home to the microbiome that turns fiber into energy, the hindgut plays a much larger role in the equine digestive system than it often gets credit for.

When shopping for probiotics, it's crucial that the organisms in the product are durable enough to survive transit through the acidic stomach and make it to the hindgut, where they'll benefit the microbiome.

Unspoken barn rules. What would you add to this list??

1) Never, ever say, "It's been a while since I fell off." (And if you do, knock on wood and wear a safety vest on your next ride.)

2) Don't judge someone on talent. Judge someone for their horsemanship and their willingness to learn.

3) Don't feed someone else's horse without permission (what are you, crazy??).

4) When sharing an arena, the most experienced rider keeps an eye out for the greenest horse/rider pair.

5) Every equestrian believes their horse is the best horse in the world. They're all correct.

6) Don't say that you haven't had to pay a vet bill in a while. If your horse hears, he'll give you a reason to pay one.

A well-balanced bone supplement is beneficial for young horses going into training, mature horses recovering from skeletal injury or returning to training, older horses with a demanding competition schedule, or any horse on a restricted diet.

BoneWise® is research-proven to support strong, resilient bones throughout a horse's life. Learn more about BoneWise at the link in the comments.

To maintain a strong skeleton, a horse’s bones constantly undergo bone remodeling—some cells break down old or damaged bone tissue and other cells deposit new bone material.

One key to healthy bone formation is exercise. As exercise intensifies or the type of exercise changes, bone remodeling occurs and bone density increases to support the additional stress on the skeleton. When exercise is decreased, stress on the bones is insufficient to maintain bone remodeling and bone density decreases.

Horses confined to stalls may experience significant bone density loss, increasing their risk for injury or fracture when they return to work.

How much turnout time does your horse get each day?

According to Mississippi State University Extension Service, "... when young horses are allotted pasture access, they are likely to run. High-velocity strides cause the bone to become stronger, and when horses are kept in stalls and undergo training that does not include amounts of high-impact exercise, bones lose strength very quickly."

We read a review of 30 years of research* on the equine skeletal system and came out with one big takeaway: Strong bones start with smart management and targeted nutrition. Here are three tips we got from the work of Professor Brian Nielson

1) When it comes to bone development, short bursts of speed work stimulate bone strength effectively. Strategic, high-intensity exercise plays a key role in developing resilient skeletal structure.

2) Exercise provides the stimulus, but nutrition provides the building blocks. Without the right nutrients, your horse simply can’t build optimal bone density. The best skeletal development comes from pairing thoughtful speed work with balanced, science-backed nutrition.

3) Some long-term pharmaceuticals may have unintended consequences that impact bone health, including reduced bone density. If your horse is on long-term medications, discuss possible side effects with your veterinarian.

Some neurologic conditions in horses can develop long before obvious signs appear.

Vitamin E-responsive disorders like equine neuroaxonal dystrophy (eNAD) and equine degenerative myeloencephalopathy (EDM) are linked to inadequate vitamin E intake during critical growth periods. These conditions can quietly impact balance, coordination, and overall performance.

Nutrition matters. Make sure your horse gets an adequate amount of vitamin E in her diet to support long-term neurologic health. Learn more on the subject from TheHorse.com in the comments.
