Hay Folks!
It’s that time of the year again. No, I’m not talking about roses, chocolate, and candlelight dinners. Sunday, February 8th is the annual Horse Management Seminar
and I can’t wait! This year’s topic is
all about FOOD! The official title is, “Grazing Rewards and Concerns: How and
Why to Care for Your Pastures”. It may
not be about growing delicious doughnuts (I wish!), but more about cultivating
lush pastures and maintaining healthy body weight for your horses.
My colleague, Dr. Carey Williams has
brought in equine experts from across the nation to help explain the risks and
benefits of lush pastures and teach guests how to properly manage pastures and
grazing. Some owners have been concerned
about certain metabolic problems that some horses (not me, of course!)
experience when grazing on lush grass.
These grasses are high in sugars that can cause excess weight gain and
may lead to metabolic disorders such as Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS). To learn more about EMS, check out my earlier
blog post here.
The seminar is an all day event from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and
will also include informational displays, networking opportunities with
industry companies and local organizations, and ample time for one-on-one
discussions with the day’s presenters.
Make sure you register now and reserve your seat today! It’s something
you don’t want to miss. Click here for more information and to register.
Now, I can’t stop thinking out yummy green pastures. Is it springtime yet?
See you soon! (Maybe I’ll make a guest appearance?!)
Your pal,
Lord Nelson
