Podcast appearances and mentions of Juliet M Getty

Obesity is an epidemic problem with domesticated horses. We often attribute the problem to overfeeding concentrates combined with too little exercise, the underlying cause is much less apparent and has to do with the horse’s brain and response to stress. Dr. Getty says when a horse realizes that he is safe and that forage is available, he slows down his eating, eats less, and maintains a healthy body condition. Pat Roberts is still busy participating in open competitions into her eighth decade of life, and she buckled down, achieving an amazing 2019 competition record with “Blackie”, a horse with multigenerational value.how Host: Debbie LoucksTitle Sponsor: Omega FieldsGuest: Pat Roberts, pictured aboveGuest: Juliet M.

Nature designed horses to be grazers, constantly eating their way through life. Unfortunately, modern horsekeeping methods don't honor the way the horse was meant to eat, resulting in a variety of health and behavior problems. In this episode of Horsing Around, equine nutritionist Juliet M. Getty, Ph. D., author of "Feed Your Horse Like a Horse," explains why feeding hay free choice is not only better for your horse, but is more economic in the long run.
