Caring for a horse with metabolic issues? We want to hear from you!

Managing the diet of a hefty PRE in Kentucky can be difficult. After all, there's a reason our home state was nicknamed the Bluegrass State ... the rich, rolling fields of grass that make up our landscape are a sugary snack for horses that struggle with insulin dysregulation. Grand Prix dressage rider Reese Koffler-Stanfield found herself in exactly that situation.

As the leaves begin to fall and the weather changes from the heat of the summer sun to crisp autumn days, we enter a particularly dangerous time of year for insulin-resistant horses. Warm days and cool nights lead to more sugars stored in the leaves of the grass, making for an especially tasty and hazardous snack for your metabolic horse.

Equine metabolic syndrome and PPID (previously called Cushing's disease) are often confused. Understanding the difference between these two endocrine diseases is crucial if you have a horse who struggles with insulin dysregulation.

While they share similarities—like metabolic issues and increased laminitis risk—they affect horses differently. EMS is more common in “easy keepers,” while PPID typically appears in older horses and may include signs like delayed shedding or muscle loss.

Management isn’t one-size-fits-all. The right nutrition, exercise, and veterinary care depend on an accurate diagnosis. Learn more about the similarities and differences between these two conditions at the link in the comments.
