Listen to Part 1 first, if you haven't had a chance to yet - we discuss feed trend terminology to help frame Part 2 of this conversation - https://www.standleeforage.com/podcast/episodes/ep-102-horse-feeding-trends-explained-forage-based-grain-free-everything-in-between-part-1/

Have you ever wondered if “grain-free” really means better for your horse?

In Part 2 of this Beyond the Barn conversation, host Katy Starr chats with Dr. Kelly Vineyard, PhD equine nutritionist, to dig deeper into the reality behind popular horse feeding trends to bust some common myths and help horse owners confidently balance a forage-based diet, including:

• Tips for balancing “grain-free” diets for individual horses or large herds
• Whether statements like “grain causes inflammation,” “grain-free means low starch,” and more are myth or fact
• 4 practical ways horse owners can sift through these feeding trends and do what is best for their specific horse

If social media has ever made you question your horse’s diet, this episode will bring clarity, confidence, and a reminder that the best feeding program always starts with one simple rule - forage first.
