Ep. 15: Optimizing Horses’ Manes, Tails, and Coats

Who doesn’t love a horse with a shiny haircoat and long, full mane and tail? While some horses are more genetically blessed than others in the hair growth and shine department, all healthy manes and tails and glowing coats start with a balanced diet. Grooming can help, of course, but no amount of elbow grease can correct poor nutrition. In this episode, Clair and Michelle cover: • How minerals, including copper, bring out a horse’s shine; • Why amino acids are important for growing high-quality hair; • The role of vitamins, specifically vitamin E and biotin, in coat quality; and • The dietary fats horses need to really bloom.
