Summary

Dr. Nicole Rambo and Sarah explore what horse owners should look for nutritionally when choosing a boarding or training barn. They discuss key questions around forage quality and access, feeding schedules, pasture management, turnout policies, grain and supplement flexibility, feed room organization, and hay sourcing. The episode also highlights common red flags including poor body condition, stereotypic behaviors, messy storage, and high boarder turnover, while also encouraging owners to ask questions, observe carefully, and trust their instincts when evaluating a facility.
