Show Notes
In this episode, Dr. Lacher and Justin Long discuss going into fall, and transitioning safely from grass to hay. When the temperature drops and the grass dies off, the diet change can be difficult for horses, and their hydration can fall off. This puts them at an increased risk of colic. Dr. Lacher gives some strategies for reducing that risk while continuing to meet the nutritional needs of your horse.
