Why You Shouldn't Feed Your Horse Bran Mashes

from The Equine Connection Podcast · host equineconnectionpod

In days gone by, it was not uncommon to warm up some water and mix it with some bran to make a nice mash for your horse. Many believed it helped warm their horses during a cold winters night. Others believed a bran mash had a nice laxative effect and aided their horse's digestion. In this week's podcast we highlight why feeding bran or making a bran mash may not be such a good idea for your horse. We highlight what exactly bran is, what nutrients it has and why it may be a bad idea, even as a treat. We offer other alternatives that are better and healthier treats for your horse and how you can help them better during those cold winter nights.  You can learn more about these topics by visiting our expertise page HERE If you have any questions or concerns about your own horse, please contact us HERE This podcast was brought to you by Tribute Superior Equine Nutrition
