Sponsored horse nutrition content puts focus on performance feeding

Equus Magazine has published a sponsored nutrition article, “10 Smart Ways to Feed Performance Horses,” by Haylie Pfeffer, and a related version also appears at The Horse as a protected sponsored post, suggesting a cross-platform content push around feeding strategies for equine athletes. While the full text of the articles isn’t publicly available from the source data provided, the topic aligns with established equine nutrition guidance that emphasizes forage-first feeding, careful concentrate selection, and management practices that support digestive health and performance. Equus currently lists the article among its horse care and nutrition content, and The Horse labels its version as sponsored and protected. (equusmagazine.com)

Why it matters: For veterinarians and equine practice teams, sponsored educational content on performance-horse feeding can shape conversations that pet parents and trainers bring into the clinic. That makes it important to anchor those discussions in evidence-based standards: AAEP guidance says performance horses should still be managed around core digestive-health principles, including adequate forage intake, while large, high-starch meals can raise gastrointestinal risk. AAEP also notes that selecting a concentrate for a performance horse is highly individual and depends on workload, nutrient needs, and the horse in front of you, not just marketing claims.

What to watch: Watch for whether Equus, The Horse, or the sponsoring feed company publish the full 10-point framework, named product tie-ins, or expert commentary that gives veterinarians more detail on the recommendations behind the headline. (equusmagazine.com)
