Preparing Your Horse's Diet For Detox
🐴 Preparing Your Horse’s Diet for Detox
A Low-Inflammatory Nutrition Plan to Support Whole-Body Recovery
When your horse begins a detox protocol—especially one like EPMSD™—what you feed matters just as much as what you supplement.
A well-structured, low-inflammatory diet helps the body do what it’s already built to do:
- ✔ Flush out waste
- ✔ Protect sensitive tissues
- ✔ Restore natural balance—starting from the inside out
Why Inflammation & Poor Nutrition Can Disrupt Detox
- Compromise gut lining integrity
- Disrupt absorption of vital nutrients
- Slow down liver, kidney, and lymphatic function
- Weaken natural barriers against pathogens
Feeding low-inflammatory, whole-food ingredients helps your horse:
- Maintain gut wall integrity
- Support the immune system’s natural defenses
- Promote detoxification without overwhelming the body
Key Principles of a Detox-Supportive Equine Diet
- ✅ High-Quality Forage: Clean hay like Timothy, Bermuda, or orchard grass (soak if needed)
- ✅ Remove Feed-Based Inflammation Triggers: Avoid corn, soy, wheat midds, molasses, pellets with dyes
- ✅ Balance Sugar & Starch: Avoid high-glycemic ingredients
- ✅ Use Plant-Based Fat: Chia, flax, beet pulp (plain)
- ✅ Hydration & Movement: Clean water + 15–30 min daily movement
