    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.

    The Scoop Equine Nutrition Podcast: Ep 38: Nutrition & Biomechanics: Guest Jane Braddock (Focused Riding)

    On The Scoop Equine Nutrition Podcast, I’m kicking off a three-part series exploring the connection between nutrition and biomechanics. While nutrition will always be the foundation of this podcast, this series zooms out to look at how movement, training, and feeding work together. Biomechanics is a buzzword right now, but it’s not new. As a dressage rider, I’ve seen how powerful things can be when nutrition and biomechanics support each other instead of living in silos. I’m joined by Jane Braddock, my longtime trainer, for a thoughtful conversation about building the right team around the horse and supporting both the physical and mental side of performance. This is Part One of a three-part series on how nutrition and biomechanics can 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.

    The Scoop Equine Nutrition Podcast: Ep 35 Winter Warning: Salt Solutions You Need

    In Episode 35 of The Scoop Equine Nutrition Podcast, we take a clear look at salt—a nutrient that’s often misunderstood in the equine world. Winter conversations tend to center around using salt to encourage drinking, but sodium and chloride play far bigger roles in overall health and daily body function. This episode breaks down why salt is needed year-round, what it actually does inside the horse, and how common practices and assumptions can miss the mark. Join Annie for a practical, evidence-based discussion that will help you understand salt requirements, choose appropriate sources, and avoid the most frequent mistakes owners make when managing this essential nutrient.
