Overweight horse
ROUGHAGE IS ALWAYS THE BASIS
An overweight horse is at increased risk for health problems such as insulin resistance, laminitis, joint strain and reduced performance. The causes of obesity often lie in a diet too high in energy relative to the amount of exercise, but genetic predisposition, seasonal influences and hormonal disorders such as EMS (Equine Metabolic Syndrome) can also play a role. Considerations include carefully monitoring body condition (BCS), limiting sugars and starches in the ration, and increasing daily exercise, even in mild forms such as walking or lunging.
The diet should consist of textured, poor roughage supplemented with a vitamin and mineral balancer with no additional calories.
Important: Drastically restricting nutrition or “starving” is dangerous for horses. This can lead to fatty liver (hyperlipemia), a serious and potentially fatal metabolic disorder in which fat is released too quickly from fat reserves and accumulates in the blood and liver. Horses are more susceptible to this condition than many other animal species. Therefore, weight loss should always be gradual and supervised by a veterinarian or licensed nutritionist. Disciplined management and a thoughtful approach are essential to reducing weight responsibly and maintaining a healthy metabolism.
