Bryan and Peter dive into how fat can be powerful energy source for performance horses. Learn how feeding the right type of fat can help spare muscle glycogen, boost stamina, and support better recovery - especially during high-intensity work or endurance competition.

They break down:

  • 🧬 How fat fuels aerobic metabolism more efficiently than starch

  • 🐴 Why glycogen sparing can be a game-changer for performance

  • 💥 The impact of omega-3-rich fats like CEN Oil on inflammation, focus, and post-work recovery

  • ❌ The dangers of relying too heavily on grain and sugar for energy

Whether you're conditioning a dressage horse, training a racehorse, prepping for endurance, or managing a hot horse prone to tie-up - this episode gives you the insight and tools to fuel smarter.
