The InfoHorse Guide to Feeding & Supplementing Your Horse
Good nutrition is the foundation of every healthy horse — and the most confusing aisle in the barn. There are thousands of feeds and supplements, and every label promises results. InfoHorse sells none of them. Since 1997, Bob and Ann Pruitt have vetted brands across the whole market so you can compare honestly and choose what actually fits your horse. This guide organizes our nutrition coverage — the articles to read and the vetted brands to compare — by what you are actually trying to solve.
New to this? Start with an introduction to horse nutrition and what horses eat, or jump to your topic below.
How do I support my horse's gut, ulcers & digestion?
The hindgut drives everything from weight to behavior, and ulcers are far more common than most owners realize. Start here if your horse is off feed, girthy, or losing condition.
What helps my horse's joints, hooves & mobility?
Soundness keeps a horse comfortable and working for life. These cover joint support, arthritis, and feeding the hoof from the inside out.
How do I feed a metabolic, insulin-resistant, or laminitic horse?
Easy keepers, insulin resistance, Cushings, and laminitis are linked — and largely managed through diet. These are the highest-stakes nutrition decisions you'll make.
Which vitamins, minerals & coat supplements does my horse need?
When the basics are covered, targeted vitamins and minerals fill the gaps — and a dull coat is often the first sign something is missing.
What, how much & how often should I feed?
Forage first. What, how much, and how often you feed matters more than any supplement — including for the hard keeper and the senior horse. Our free Hay Calculator turns this into real numbers.
How do I support energy, immunity & the working horse?
Support for the working horse, the immune system, and hydration — plus the specialty options owners ask about most.
