Today's tip features Horses in the Morning co-hosts Glenn & Jamie along with their guest Dr. Anna Bracken chatting about winter horse nutrition.

You can't talk about Team Penning without talking about the Quarter Horse. This sport is perhaps the purest test of the breed's intelligence, speed, and 'cowiness.'

We're looking back at the foundation of the sport, exploring how the innate ability of the working cow horse gave birth to a competitive arena where teamwork and instinct are what truly win the day.

Horse owners often feed supplements to address gaps in their horses' diet that forage and concentrates might not meet, such as supporting joint comfort, hoof quality, or muscle recovery. Researchers suggest that supplements can be beneficial when a horse has a documented deficiency, such as low vitamin or mineral levels, or a clearly identified need, such as poor hoof quality. Owners should always consult a veterinarian or an equine nutritionist when choosing supplements for their horses and prioritize products backed by research.
