    The Scoop Equine Nutrition Podcast: Ep 44: Nutrition and Biomechanics Ep 3 (With Jane Braddock)

    On The Scoop Equine Nutrition Podcast, we’ve been exploring the connection between nutrition and biomechanics in a special three-part series. Nutrition will always be the foundation of this podcast, but this series has stepped back to look at the bigger picture—how feeding, movement, and training all work together to support the horse. Biomechanics may be a buzzword right now, but the concept itself isn’t new. As a dressage rider, I’ve seen firsthand how powerful things can be when nutrition and biomechanics support each other instead of operating in separate silos. Throughout this series, I’ve been joined by my longtime trainer, Jane Braddock, for a thoughtful conversation about building the right team around the horse and supporting both the physical and mental side of performance. This is the final episode of our three-part series, where we bring the ideas together and talk about how riders and owners can apply these concepts in a practical way—creating programs where nutrition, training, and biomechanics work together to better support the horse. Bios: Jane has spent over 45 years riding, over 25 years teaching, and over 15 years improving her rider biomechanics coaching. Jane is certified through the USEA, a USDF Bronze medalist, and completed RWYM Teacher Training. Her unique professional background started with an engineering degree, and morphed into leading business workshops with participant-centered training techniques, all while pursuing her equestrian passions on the side. Her years of competing and training in dressage and eventing, combined with an engineer's understanding of forces and mechanics, give her a unique approach to integrating rider and equine biomechanics. In 2006, Jane founded “Focused Riding” as her professional equestrian brand to better help riders no matter what their goals. She is based out of her 60 acre facility in Hager City, WI, just east of the MN border, between River Falls, WI and Red Wing, MN. https://www.focusedriding.com/ Annie owns Revolution Equine Nutrition At Revolution Equine Nutrition, the focus is on empowering clients with clear, practical feeding strategies and ongoing support. Whether addressing a long-standing issue or optimizing overall wellness, Annie is dedicated to helping horse owners make informed, confident decisions about their horses' diets in a supportive and encouraging way. With experience across hundreds of cases—encompassing every metabolic, gastric, and muscle disorder imaginable—she is equipped to help you navigate the best nutrition program for your horse, tailored to your goals, budget, and preferences. https://revolutionequinenutrition.org/ Copyright Revolution Equine Nutrition, LLC This is the work of the author and may not be used in any other format Use all info at your own risk https://revolutionequinenutrition.org/

    The Scoop Equine Nutrition Podcast: Ep 43: Is Beet Pulp Bad for Your Horse?

    Beet Pulp: Is it Bad? What about aluminum? Is organic better? Isn't it high in sugar? Annie gives an overview of this common feed ingredient to help horse owners make educated and informed decisions. Annie is not associated with any feed, product, or company, and no bias is presented in this program. Let’s get the facts from the experts—not social media. Roose, K.A., K.E. Hoekstra, J.D.

    The Scoop Equine Nutrition Podcast: Ep 42: Did horses evolve to eat poor quality forage?

    Did Horses Evolve to Eat Poor Quality Forage? It’s a common claim in the horse world — but is it actually true? In this episode, we take a closer look at what equine digestive anatomy tells us about forage, fiber, and evolution. We’ll challenge some oversimplified internet narratives and talk about what “poor” and “rich” forage really mean.

    The Scoop Equine Nutrition Podcast Ep: 39 Wheat Middlings

    Wheat middlings appear on many feed tags—and they often trigger strong reactions. In this episode of The Scoop: Equine Nutrition Podcast, Annie Emery takes a thoughtful, science-based look at how wheat midds actually fit into horse diets. Rather than focusing on ingredient fear or marketing claims, this episode explores how to evaluate wheat middlings in the context of the entire ration, how horses digest different types of ingredients, and why balance matters more than labels. If you’ve ever questioned what wheat middlings really mean for your horse—or felt confused by conflicting advice—this episode offers clarity without hype.
