In this excerpt from the May 2020 episode of Ask the Vet (    • Ask the Vet - Dapples, carrot stretch...   ), Dr. Gray and SmartPaker Dan dive deep on how to feed mini horses. Dr. Gray explains why you need to be on top of minis’ health, how often you should be checking their weight and body condition score, a great home-schooling math exercise for calculating a mini’s weight, things to consider when turning them out, and the types of colic that are more prevalent in minis (including HORSE HAIRBALLS!). Plus, lots of cute photos of minis!
