Please see the statement below from Hygain US. If you are currently feeding Hygain and need to have your diet reviewed, please go to the website and book a consultation. We are currently scheduling for the end of March/beginning of April.
When we refer to “topline,” we’re talking about the entire upper line of the horse’s body. That includes how the neck ties into the shoulder and the development of the back muscles under the saddle area, across the loin, and over the rump. When horses lack musculature over those areas, they are said to “have a poor topline.” Many things can cause poor topline, including incorrect training, an ill-fitting saddle, old age, lameness, or diseases like pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID, or equine Cushing’s). If your horse is struggling to develop a nice topline despite good health (talk to you veterinarian!), proper training, and a well-fitting saddle, perhaps his or her diet needs another look.
In this episode, Michelle and Dr. Clair cover:
What is topline? How to support topline development through nutrition. Understanding protein quality and its role in topline development. And other factors that might affect topline.

The days are getting longer and soon we will have bright green pastures. We often recommend grazing muzzles to clients to help limit grass in take while allowing horses to be in turnout. GreenGuard grazing muzzles are one of our favorites. The video below shows the muzzle being used so you can see it action. They are have a sale the entire month of March if you are in the market for a new muzzle. GG Equine

Are you ready for our Glow Up progress update on Dartmouth?
He has been with us 60 days and the results are clear to see. And you know what? This was achieved feeding less grain and fewer supplements than he was initially being fed. We will share in future posts what we did to get here in a relatively short period of time. There is still a ways to go in developing muscle and strength but we hope you will agree that he is well on his way.
