I bought a new 8-year-old mule this weekend at the 4D Select Ranch Auction. He is bonding with me and super sweet. He has been packing in Hells Canyon for the past 4 years, so he needs some saddle time before I take him out of trails but boy am I ready! Lisa Deas

The correlation has always been obvious, and it didn’t take long for an assumption to arise that obesity is a laminitis risk factor and causes elevated insulin. There’s just one thing: it’s not true.
Relationships between diet, obesity and insulin dysregulation in horses and ponies
