ASC-205: Selecting Feeds for Horses
Fernanda Camargo, Laurie Lawrence | Jan. 6, 2014 (New)
Feeds should be selected with the nutrient requirements of the horse in mind, recognizing that requirements vary with the life stage of the horse (growing, pregnant, lactating, working, idle). Feeds for horses should always be clean and free from toxins. Feeds should also promote gastrointestinal health. The large intestine (cecum and colon) of the digestive tract contains a diverse population of beneficial microbes that can easily be upset by poor feed selection. In nature horses will spend more than 50% of their time grazing; therefore, feed that promotes similar feeding behavior may be desirable. Once appropriate feeds have been selected, it is important that they are fed in the correct amounts using good feeding management strategies.
PR-669: 2013 Cool-Season Grass Horse Grazing Tolerance Report
Garry Lacefield, Laurie Lawrence, Gene Olson, Tim Phillips, Ray Smith | Dec. 4, 2013 (New)
Cool-season grasses such as bluegrass, tall fescue, and orchardgrass are dominant pasture grasses for horses in Kentucky. Variety evaluations for yield have been carried out for many years, but little work has been done to establish the effect of variety on persistence when subjected to close, continuous grazing by horses. The purpose of this report is to summarize current research on the grazing tolerance of varieties of tall fescue, orchardgrass, and other species when subjected to continuous heavy grazing pressure by horses within the grazing season. The main focus will be on stand survival.

ASC-185: Feeding the Broodmare: Four Easy Steps
Fernanda Camargo, Laurie Lawrence | Aug. 22, 2012 (New)
The nutritional needs of broodmares change as they go through the stages of reproduction. This publication begins with nutritional strategies to enhance the likelihood a mare will become pregnant, then it discusses feeding management of the mare during pregnancy and lactation, and it ends with some nutritional considerations for the post-weaning period.
ASC-187: Help! My Horse is Too Fat!
Fernanda Camargo, Bob Coleman, Laurie Lawrence | Apr. 19, 2012 (New)
As we understand more about the impact that obesity has on animal health, it is imperative that we strive to keep our horses at an optimum body condition.
ASC-188: Help! My Horse is Too Thin!
Fernanda Camargo, Bob Coleman, Laurie Lawrence | Apr. 19, 2012 (New)
As we understand more about the impact that emaciation has on animal health, it is imperative that we strive to keep our horses at an optimum body condition.

ASC-183: Horses and Rain
Fernanda Camargo, Laurie Lawrence | May. 9, 2011 (New)
Spring is a very rainy season in Kentucky. With a lot of rain comes a lot of mud, and in some places, floods. If you own horses, you need to be aware of some problems that arise when you have too much rain in a short period of time.

ID-147: Establishing Horse Pastures
Bob Coleman, Garry Lacefield, Laurie Lawrence, Laura Schwer, Ray Smith, Bill Witt | Sep. 20, 2010 (Major Revision)
Kentucky and surrounding states are known for grass pastures and horses. Pastures supply nutrients, provide hoof support for exercise, control erosion, and add to the aesthetic value of horse farms. The ability to establish and manage horse pastures is therefore important to horse owners.
