What if one of the biggest factors influencing your horse's health, welfare, and performance isn't training—but feeding?
In this episode of The Stable Hour, we sit down with feeding expert and veterinarian Idun Rosenfeld to explore the foundations of equine nutrition. Together, we discuss why forage should always come first, the most common feeding mistakes horse owners make, how to evaluate hay quality, and why understanding your horse's nutritional needs is essential for both long-term health and performance.
Whether you're a competitive rider, trainer, breeder, or passionate horse owner, this conversation is packed with practical, research-based insights that can help you make better decisions for your horse.
In this episode, we cover:
• Why performance starts with feeding
• The importance of forage and fibre
• How to choose the right hay
• Hay vs. haylage vs. straw
• Why analysing your hay matters
• Mould, forage quality and hidden risks
• Water, hydration and electrolytes
• Practical feeding advice every horse owner should know
