We are back with Kai Yun Lai, a certified equine dental professional, to further explore the powerful connection between your horse’s teeth, their diet, and digestion.
In this episode:
- Why chewing and particle size matter for nutrient absorption
- How dental issues show up in manure & behavior
- Why poor dental health can cause weight loss
- How your horse's dental health is linked to colic, and choke risk
- Nutrition’s role in dental health, how the different things you feed and how you feed them impact your horse's teeth
Whether your horse is dropping weight, resisting the bit, just not thriving, or you want to understand the full impact of your feeding decisions on dental health, this episode examines the links between nutrition and dental health.
