is an endocrinopathy affecting horse and ponies. It is of primary concern due to its link to obesity, insulin resistance, and subsequent laminitis. There are some similarities in clinical signs between EMS and pituitary pars intermedia dysfuntion, also known as PPID or Cushing’s disease, and some equine may develop both, but they are not the same condition, having different causes and different treatment.
Performance Horse Nutrition® (PHN®) was founded in 2002 by Dr. Stephen Duren. The goal of PHN has always been to advance the “science” of feeding horses, and equally important to disseminate that science to our clients in the simplest, most straightforward means possible. PHN prides itself on having trained Ph.D equine nutritionists that are not only scientists, but also horsemen. We understand how to feed horses and our feeds, feeding recommendations, articles and seminars reflect that understanding. Please refer to our list of services to further clarify what we can do for our clients.
