  • Feeding Your Horse To It's Genetic Potential : The Crucial Role Of Nutrition With Melanie Smith and Dr. James Lattimer
    Jan 3 2025

    In this Episode of The Business Of Horses, Solo Select's very own Melanie Smith sits down with ADM Animal Nutrition's Dr. James Lattimer to discuss what it takes to feed your horse to its genetic potential. Whether you are feeding with the goal of walking your horse into the sale ring as a yearling, or feeding to make your next champion - knowing how to feed will set your program up from success. Where it starts? At conception.

    Solo Select announced our partnership with ADM Animal Nutrition in 2024, but their feed, including Gro Strong Mineral, has been a crucial part in our feeding program for years. ADM has fueled 'The Very Best' for years, from our resident mares, stallions and every foal born here. A huge part of the success we have experienced is because of the foundation a solid feeding program lays. Dr. James Lattimer has guided us for years, answering our questions and the questions of our clients - helping breeders and owners to feed their horses to the genetic potential within.

    You can reach out to ADM Animal Nutrition's Dr James Lattimer for any questions you have about ADM, Gro Strong Mineral, or any other nutrition questions you may have at James.Lattimer@adm.com
