Ask the Nutritionist: Dr. Getty's Forum for Equine Nutrition
Welcome to my forum.
Here you will find more than 6 years of questions and my answers. It is searchable and offers a great deal of information.
Currently, I am discontinuing new questions. This may change in the future, but in the meantime, please know that It has been a true pleasure serving you.
Take a look at my Nutrition Library and Tips of the Month for a variety of answers on selected topics. Be sure to sign up for my monthly e-newsletter, Forage for Thought.
I also have a growing number of recordings on "Teleseminars on Nutrition Topics that Concern You" as well as the new, Spotlight on Equine Nutrition Series -- printed versions of favorite teleseminars.
And finally, look for my articles in a variety of local publications and online newsletters, as well as the Horse Journal, where I am the Contributing Nutrition Editor.
All the best,

Hello Gari,
Congratulations! Horses never leave your blood!
Platinum Performance is an excellent supplement. And, your hay mix is very good – offer them hay throughout the day and/or pasture. Since they are performing, they will require additional calories. You can offer beet pulp, or a low-starch complete feed. And, during stressful situations, I suggest that you offer 2 scoops of Platinum Plus – 1 scoop two times a day.
Have fun!
Dr. Getty
