Course Description

Discover why amino acids are foundational to your horse’s health — from muscle and topline development to hair, hoof, and bone structure — and learn how to evaluate and optimize them in your equine’s diet.

Things to Learn

In this micro-video, you’ll learn which 10 amino acids are essential for horses, what “limiting” amino acids like lysine, methionine and threonine mean, and how inadequate amino acid balance — even if crude protein looks sufficient — can undermine muscle, topline, hoof, and coat health.
