Having an IR horse is challenging, don’t let anyone kid you. Sticking to the program is a must. My Lipizzaner was diagnosed with IR last winter. It’s not a fun time to soak hay in Michigan. Regarding all the products out there to treat IR and the “low starch grains” I have found testing any hay I purchase, slow feeding it,SBM, exercise and car… Read more

Thanks for weighing in, Doc T. So my bottom line is: feed high-quality protein + forage and a mined mineral salt block!

Doc T,

Thank you for all you are doing to help horses. It is a long story with my girl but so far it looks like she is back and we are becoming a team again. I have had her on SBM since September and we have now competed in 3 Endurance rides with another one coming this Saturday. She looks great and is happy moving down the trail. The best part is…

I’ve been completely compliant with this diet for 2-1/2 years. Two years in, I spent $300 to run a full blood panel on one of my four horses just to check and it came back showing he was getting everything he needed from pasture, grass and alfalfa hay, dehulled SBM, water and free choice naturally mined salt.

Thanks for the article, it has given me the nudge I need to increase Jordao’s SBM. He was on 1lb for a couple of months and I’ve gradually increased it to 1.5lbs and was wondering if I could up it some more. He has lost his excess body fat and loves his SBM/ Alfalfa feeds. If he has 2lbs a day that brings his daily protein up to 835gms. The only…

Thank you both for your responses. I’m in for the longterm. I have already noticed his stomach muscles looking tighter.

I’m shocked that in all the time I’ve had horses I never new about the BCS or TLS. Between them I have an objective assessment of the amount of fat and muscle on my horses.

I hadn’t knowingly been feeding grain, just a simple…
