And like clockwork, your horse comes up three-legged lame with a hot, throbbing foot. You call the vet. You call the farrier. Somebody says wet-dry cycles. Somebody says stone bruise. You soak, you wrap, you wait for it to blow, and everyone moves on until next year. Mineral...

Send Audrey a Text to get your question answered on the show Your horse has had fecal water for months. You've tried the probiotics. You've added the gut supplements. You've done the paste.

Send Audrey a Text to get your question answered on the show Walk into the average horse barn and tell me what you see in the feed room. Bags of complete feed. Probably a senior formula.

And it’s not inevitab...
