On The Scoop Equine Nutrition Podcast, we’ve been exploring the connection between nutrition and biomechanics in a special three-part series.

Biomechanics may be a buzzword right now, but the concept itself isn’t new. As a dressage rider, I’ve seen firsthand how powerful things can be when nutrition and biomechanics support each other instead of operating in separate silos.
