Growth
Feeding young horses is a careful balancing act. The interplay between genetics, management and nutrition is complex. While we can do nothing to change the genetic road map, we can alter its
course via proper management.

The nutritional start a foal gets can have a profound effect on its health and soundness for the rest of its life. We can accelerate growth if we choose. However, research suggests that a
balanced dietary approach which supports moderate growth is less likely to cause developmental problems.
