Description

In this episode Dr. Nicole Rambo and equine specialist Heather discuss a case study on a mid-teens gelding that lost significant weight after a six-hour trailer ride to a competition. They explore the common issue of dehydration and fluid loss in horses during travel, the impact of body condition scores, and how stress and temperature affect metabolism and weight during trailering. The hosts share insights on post-trip recovery strategies and emphasize the importance of proper diet and hydration for maintaining a horse’s health during transportation. Listeners are encouraged to reach out for personalized equine feeding plans and further assistance.
