Advanced Online Course on Horse Types and Their Typical Health Issues
Ever wondered why some horses gain weight just by looking at grass, while others stay lean no matter what you feed?
Or why certain horses are prone to muscle tension, while others struggle with swollen legs or fluid retention?
In this third part of our Healthy Horse Series, you’ll explore how different horse types influence health, metabolism, and management.
Understanding your horse’s natural constitution helps you to tailor nutrition, training, and care strategies that truly fit their individual needs.
