As days get longer, your horse’s coat starts to change — but what exactly triggers this process, and how can you support your horse through it?
In this episode, we explore:
✔️ Why temperature, not just daylight, kicks off the coat change
✔️ How age affects shedding – and why seniors and youngsters take longer
✔️ Why a late shedding horse isn’t always a sign of Cushing’s
✔️ The key nutrients (like zinc, sulfur & amino acids) that help build healthy hair
✔️ How to support the liver and kidneys during shedding
✔️ When a partial clip helps, and what to avoid
✔️ Why oil in the feed isn’t the best idea – and what to use instead
🎧 Tune in now to help your horse shed with ease and shine this spring!
