Do you live in a horse utopia? Do your horses spend their days grazing upon boundless pastures of lush grass? Is your barn stacked with bales of fresh, second-cut hays and forage? Are all of your horses 'Goldilocks keepers'-- as in, not too easy, not too hard, but just right? If you answered 'yes' to all (or any) of these questions you are probably living on a yet-to-be-discovered enchanted island where things like mud, drought, boarding barns and Insulin Resistance don't exist. So...congrats on all that. But for the rest of us, as wonderful as life with horses may be, the next ..read more

Q: I know horses need it, but how do I know if my horse is getting enough, and the right kind, of Vitamin E?  Dr. Pat: Vitamin E is the #1 antioxidant that horses naturally consume to protect themselves from free radicals and oxidative stress. Horses do not make or synthesize Vitamin E themselves, so it can only be obtained through diet. Fresh pasture grasses have a significant concentration of vitamin E, but most horses in training and competition are predominantly in environments where they most likely are not receiving fresh pasture, and thus, need to supp ..read more

Clark with the Barkemeyer clan: (Left to right) Zane, Brad, Mindy and Bryce. Photo by Pat Lawless. Brad and Mindy Barkemeyer make their living training and selling performance horses. To anchor down in the equine industry is to accept the fact that horses will come, and horses will go.
