Owners of horses with equine metabolic syndrome (EMS) have to be extremely cautious when it comes to feeding a diet that is too high in sugar (nonstructural carbohydrates or NSCs). Whether your horse is overweight or just carrying a few extra pounds* with EMS, there are a few rules of thumb you should follow when developing his diet.

• Feed hay with less than 10 to 12 percent NSC
• If needed, additional calories should come from fat sources, like a high-fat supplement
• Restrict access to pasture, particularly in the spring and fall when grasses are storing sugar in the leaves
• Avoid feeding grain, particularly ones that are high in sugar
• Fill in vitamin/mineral gaps in your horse's nutrition plan with a ration balancer

*It's a common misconception that every horse with EMS is obese! Some EMS horses are an appropriate weight or carrying just a few extra pounds.

Equine metabolic syndrome and PPID (previously called Cushing's disease) are often confused. Understanding the difference between these two endocrine diseases is crucial if you have a horse who struggles with insulin dysregulation.

While they share similarities—like metabolic issues and increased laminitis risk—they affect horses differently. EMS is more common in “easy keepers,” while PPID typically appears in older horses and may include signs like delayed shedding or muscle loss.

Management isn’t one-size-fits-all. The right nutrition, exercise, and veterinary care depend on an accurate diagnosis. Learn more about the similarities and differences between these two conditions at the link in the comments.

To the everyday person, spring is a time of renewal. For horse owners, it's better known as mud season 😂 Whatever spring means to you, it requires thoughtful management practices from horse owners.

Spring grass can be rich, and transitions in diet, workload, and environment should always be made with care. A proactive approach sets your horse up for a healthy, successful season. Double-check your management strategies at the link in the comments.
