    Good to know!!
    I recently discovered my horse is PSSM1. I love that Dr Jyme is a bluebonnet feed supporter since I feed that already and she totally made this seem not so extremely hard as I’ve felt already getting this information. I may keep her after all! So much helpful info on this podcast!! Thank you!!
  • Amy 88888888

    Science, entertainment & everything horses!
    Dr. Jyme, thank you & Stride animal health SO much for your podcast! It has done more for me than you could ever know🥰 First and foremost, I always want to do what’s best for my horses. Your podcast has validated and debunked many topics to help me narrow down what exactly is the best diet for my horses. Doing ALL. THE. THINGS. is not always what they need, but now I have a better understanding of the layers to their nutritional needs to solve a multitude of problems should they arise. After a stressful horse show with my young mare in the spring I was struggling to put weight back on her. Your podcast ideas helped me cook up a successful plan! I decided to put that to the test with another training horse and try to narrow down his gut health issues. I don’t remember what episode it was but you shared about being “too close” to the problem with your young one. Late at night hearing your story the solution for the horse was like light bulb moment ! I was doing so much for stomach buffering…. Maybe it’s not working because it’s hind gut …. 3 days on pro biotic he was a different horse !!! The next thing your incredible podcast did for me was keep me feeling like I’m doing something positive to help my horses during a time of injury. One had time off for ligament injury and I would listen while I groomed her or did her pemf treatment, the other horse punctured his knee so as I would hand walk him for inflammation I felt like I was also building my education to make a better life for them when they were back in work. Of course they were hurt at the same time🤦🏻‍♀️so late night treatments after work your podcast kept me going as I would hand walk them at 11pm. Often it was what made time pass quickly after a long day and frustration of trying to help them be pain free. I appreciate your love for science, your passion for horses and your willingness to share this with the rest of us 🥰 Sincerely some of your biggest fans, Colleen & Pumpkin Spice.

    Wonderful podcast!
    Dr Jyme is fantastic! Educated, knowledgeable, experienced, and concise. She breaks down complicated aspects of nutrition in terms that anyone from an old hat to a new horse owner can understand. She stays on topic, doesn’t babble, and packs so much pertinent information into a short podcast. Every episode is great even if it’s on a topic you didn’t think you needed to hear!

    A wealth of knowledge
    I recently found this podcast and I can’t get enough! Dr. Jyme delivers her content in an easy to comprehend way and keeps the listener engaged.
  • PaddockWood
    Such Time Well Spent!!!!
    This podcast was recommended to me and I’ve been so impressed at the relevant topics and Dr. Jyme’s way of presenting making it all interesting and easy to understand. Nothing is more important than good nutrition. And hey Dr. Jyme, you’ll be happy to know I’ve been testing my hay for over 20yrs! 😜
  • MTCW31
    Fantastic, Practical, & Applicable Information
    I can’t recommend this podcast enough! Dr. Jyme gives you advice on topics that we all have questions about and actually takes the time to deep dive into all the details. All of her advice and information on amino acids has been a game changer for my horses & training clients’ horses. She also provides the information in a way that is easy to follow and understand. So glad I found this podcast!

  • Experiencedhorsegirl
    Painfully condescending delivery
    While I DO want the information in these episodes, her delivery is condescending, simplistic and repetitive. Very disappointing.
  • HORSE enthusiast KES

    Material is relevant, it is delivered clearly and it is very useful. Good variety of topics too!

    Excellent podcast
    I’m a monogastic researcher and nutritionist and mostly work in poultry nutrition and immunology, with some canine work. Love the data behind the decisions!
  • Handsomecolton
    I appreciate you Dr. Jyme!
    I didn’t know what I didn’t know until I started listening to your podcast. I grew up in a non-horse family, throw the pony some alfalfa, and move on to the more important cows. As an adult and a multi-horse owner, your podcast has been such an eye opener! I have embraced equine nutrition. I now have happy, and healthy horses. Their feet are strong, their coats shine, they are eager workers, appropriate weight, , and healthy. Thank you so much!
  • If I was bitten

  • Newgirl88
    I love this podcast!
    Dr. June does a fantastic job of putting her topics into layman’s terms and makes it easy to understand. I feel like my horses are looking and feeling better since I have been listening to this podcast and making small adjustments to their diet. It’s amazing to me how the small adjustments make such a huge impact on the overall wellbeing of my horses.
  • mybell1367

  • DeFreitasPH
    This podcast is a great tool for our horse care regimen!
    We feed over 50 head of AQHA show, breeding, and growing horses products from Bluebonnet Intensify and Stride Animal Health lines. This podcast is a great tool for expanding our knowledge base and understanding of horse health and nutrition. Thank you!
  • FlyingSquirrelGirl
    Research Backed Facts made Fun!
    Okay maybe not fun but fascinating, informative, and easy to understand and follow. Dr Jyme answers questions and addresses common supplements and ingredients, helping me make the best feed chooses for my horses. Very well done podcast. Note: Dr Jyme developed the supplements and feed she recommends, so it stands to reason that she would suggest them to others. I don’t find it pushy and she doesn’t hold back information to allow you to not choose other products, she just has done the work and has made the best she can, so obv she believes in them.
  • KALchico
    Love these podcasts!
    Dr. Jyme’s podcasts are filled with excellent information about caring for and feeding your horse. There is lots of misinformation out there in the world that people still consider to be true so it is good to get the real facts from Dr. Jyme. The Feed Room Chemist is one of my favorite podcasts to listen to. Thank you Dr. Jyme for taking your time to educate all of us!

  • Savannah3645
    Wonderful Equine Nutrition Information❤️
    This is by far one of my favorite podcasts. As someone with a thoroughbred as well as a miniature, who have different nutritional needs, I feel that I can find useful information to cater a nutritional plan to suit each of them! I really love how Dr. Jyme cites the most up to date research studies in order to provide all us horse owners with the best possible nutritional information for our horses.
  • NicoleRP1996
    Excellent podcast ❤️
    I am so beyond happy with this podcast! I have been battling with so many equine nutrition questions and I now realize how much I didn’t know about equine nutrition! I am so excited with how much I am learning and how much I am going to be able to help my young thoroughbred with his nutrition and development! I highly recommend ANY equestrian or horse owner give this podcast a listen 😊
  • cmk219
    Highly Recommended❣️
    Dr. Jyme’s podcast has become a valuable resource to me as a horse owner. I appreciate her thoughtful and informative sharing of research based information on equine nutrition and overall care. While there are many sources of information on equine care, it’s prudent to involve your veterinarian and also do your own research before acting on antidotal information found online.

    Something for Everything
    I have an hour commute and I wanted to use that time to sharpen my knowledge and learn something new. This podcast is excellent: easy to understand, real world topics covered, and the information given is SCIENCE. I have actually implemented nuggets of info from this podcast to use on my own horses.
  • youtubesmd
    30 minute commercial
    I use to really enjoy this podcast. I felt like I was learning good information for feeding my horse until I realized it’s just one giant commercial for Blue Bonnet feeds. Even though it was frustrating to get in my area, I tried their product. It was horrible.
  • DJ SW Idaho

  • mtyler1310
    So much good stuff!
    Equine nutrition is one area I feel like I lack knowledge in so when this podcast showed up in my show recommendations I had to listen. I just started it this morning but I’ve been bingeing it every free moment I’ve had today. There is so much helpful information! I can’t wait to dive in deeper and learn more. Thank you Dr. Jyme for sharing your knowledge!! If you want to learn more about equine nutrition you’ve got to listen to this podcast!

  • Jill Dutkowski
    2 thumbs up from a vet!
    I have been listening to this podcast for a few months now. As a veterinarian who also owns 6 horses, I appreciate a review on nutrition regularly- as well as learning many new things and keeping up to date on research. I have ordered 2 supplements from Stride after learning about their benefits (Fish Oil Factor and Lifeline+). Can’t wait to see how my performance horses and broodmares respond. Keep up the great work! One of my absolute favs!
  • ac852
    Excellent information
    I found the podcast when looking for a specific topic related to my horse, but have subscribed and stayed listening because the information is so good and goes beyond just nutrition. So happy I found this show!
  • ChrisserC
    Horse Nutrition De-mystified
    I appreciate how Dr Nichols explains the ins and outs of horse feeding. I own six horses with very different needs and thanks to her explanations and recommendations all my herd members are doing great. I hope she continues to have the podcast. It’s been a lifesaver.
  • steddy2
    LOVE this podcast
    I absolutely love this podcast. It’s science based and SUPER informative. It’s so nice to hear and be able to see studies regarding horse nutrition rather than follow the crowd because so-and-so says this works. Thank you for this!!!!
