In this presentation from our partners at Nutrena Feeds, Equine Nutritionist Abby Keegan walks through the function of the equine digestive system, explains the different ways horses handle (or don't handle!) stress, discusses some of the different problems that can arise from stress in the horse's digestive system, and things we can do to help support our horses.

Education

Eventers who are new to the sport may feel a little overwhelmed by the often-misunderstood world of saddle fitting. Riders are often bombarded with information from peers online or self-described experts, putting them at risk of following bad advice related to equipment that impacts horse welfare perhaps more than any other piece of tack. Finding a qualified expert to answer these questions is crucial. Who better to turn to than both a qualified Master Saddle Fitter and a fourth-generation saddle designer to answer some of these questions?
