“Nutrition for the Performance Horse” will be offered at noon Wednesday, Oct. 23, in an online seminar by Penn State Extension.

The free hourlong forum will focus on crafting diets for working horses based on exercise type, intensity and nutrition for different disciplines.

Event organizers stress that “performance horses” are not just jumpers, eventers and reining horses. For instance, the school horses may be used for lessons several days per week.

Participants will learn why not all performance diets are the same and how different muscle groups require different fuels.

The event will explore tailored diets for horses across various disciplines and will offer practical examples and insights into nutrition.
