Investigation of Time of Hay Feeding on Plasma Volume and Exercise Response in Thoroughbred Horses
A common question asked regarding feeding the performance horse is when should the horse be fed hay relative to grain and exercise. Should the horse receive hay before, with or after a grain meal.

The Effect Of Chromium Supplementation On Metabolic Response To Exercise In Thoroughbred Horses
Chromium is essential nutrient in humans and at this time its only known role is that is a component of the glucose tolerant factor (GTF) which potentiates the action of insulin. This paper discusses the study performed to determine the affect of Chromium supplementation on metabolic response in exercised trained thoroughbreds.
The Influence of Time of Feeding on Exercise Response in Thoroughbreds Fed a Fat-Supplemented or High-Carbohydrate Diet
Recent research has demonstrated that feeding supplement fat to thoroughbred horses altered blood glucose and insulin levels compared to a grain based diet and these changes influenced substrate selection during a standardized exercise test.

The Effect Of Different Fat Sources On Exercise Performance In Thoroughbred Racehorses
Energy is the factor that should be considered first when evaluating the nutrition of the performance horse, since it is the factor most likely influenced by exercise. A number of studies have evaluated different sources of energy for performance horses. Different levels of fat and protein have been fed to horses in an attempt to alter performance.
