For horse owners, turnout is more than just a chance for horses to stretch their legs and enjoy the fresh air. It’s a vital part of equine management that promotes natural behaviors like grazing, provides essential nutrients, and contributes significantly to physical and mental well-being.
Turnout can also serve as a practical, cost-effective way to meet your horse’s dietary needs—especially when managed well. But how much do we really know about what our horses are consuming while they’re out on pasture?
At Mad Barn, our mission is to provide the most current, practical, and science-backed equine nutrition advice available. To do that effectively, we—and our partners in the equine industry—need a deeper, evidence-based understanding of how turnout is managed.
