If your horse has Equine Metabolic Syndrome, insulin dysregulation, or chronic laminitis risk, careful grazing management can be lifesaving. But what if restricting pasture access is also creating another hidden health problem?In this video, we explore the growing connection between Equine Metabolic Syndrome horses and vitamin E deficiency — a nutritional issue many horse owners are unknowingly facing while managing sugar intake, dry lots, soaked hay, grazing muzzles, and restricted turnout.Fresh green pasture is the horse’s primary natural source of vitamin E. But many modern Equine Metabolic Syndrome management programs rely heavily on hay-only diets and restricted forage access. Over time, this can contribute to muscle weakness, poor topline, nerve issues, stiffness, reduced performance, and subtle signs that are often mistaken for training, age, or fitness problems.We’ll break down:✔️ Why vitamin E deficiency is becoming more common in horses with Equine Metabolic Syndrome✔️ How hay storage and soaked hay reduce vitamin E levels✔️ The hidden signs owners often miss✔️ Why some Equine Metabolic Syndrome horses struggle with muscle loss and weakness✔️ The importance of blood testing and nutritional balance✔️ What veterinarians and equine nutritionists are now warning owners aboutWhether you manage an easy keeper, laminitic horse, insulin resistant horse, or performance horse on restricted grazing, this is an important conversation every horse owner should hear.CHAPTERS
