Performance horses are athletes, and just like humans, they are required to maintain top condition in order to perform successfully. In striving to achieve these high levels of athletic performance, horses are exposed to a variety of stress factors including hard physical training sessions, increased handling, altered dietary and stabling conditions, as well as the stress of transportation and competition. Quite often horses in hard training develop stress-induced appetite reduction.
