Every health issue your horse has starts in the gut — and once you understand why, you’ll know exactly where to start fixing it. Your horse’s gut is home to trillions of bacteria that break down food, regulate the immune system, control inflammation, and produce the building blocks for hormones. So how do you know if your horse’s gut is struggling? Look for a dull or faded coat, recurring skin issues, loose or foul-smelling manure, girthiness, or unexplained anxiety and spookiness — because roughly 90% of the body’s serotonin is made in the gut. The fix starts with pulling glyphosate-contaminated grains out of the diet, moving to a clean forage base, and feeding a variety of organic whole foods that actually build a strong, diverse microbiome. Get the gut right and everything else follows.

This is the exact feeding program we use for our horses. After decades of watching horses get sick on commercial feed our protocol comes down to a few core principles. Start with clean tested forage — hay can be contaminated with glyphosate too. Remove every contaminated ingredient from the feed room. If the label shows any corn, soy, wheat, beet pulp or grains — it goes.

The clean base diet is: Hay, Hay pellets and CoolStance Copra (if the horse needs extra calories or a clean fat source)

Then build on top of that with whole food and superfood nutrition. Organic black cumin seed press cake. Flax seed press cake. High quality kelp. Copper. Real food the horse’s body was designed to use. Not complicated. Not expensive. Just clean.

Glyphosate destroys your horse’s gut — so real healing has to start there. But here is what most people get wrong about gut health. Professor Tim Spector at King’s College London, one of the most cited gut researchers in the world, has shown that the biggest driver of a healthy, diverse microbiome is a wide variety of organic whole foods — not probiotics. The research shows probiotics do very little on their own. So we rebuild the gut with real food. Organic black cumin seed press cake, which published research shows is genuinely gastroprotective. Organic flax seed press cake, rich in soluble fiber and mucilage that helps clear foreign material from the GI tract. And once a year we run our horses through a targeted detox designed to help heal the gut lining while supporting the removal of heavy metals and agricultural chemicals. When the gut heals, everything else follows.

Researchers have named a specific region of the United States Cancer Alley. Food and Water Watch analyzed non-Hodgkin lymphoma rates county by county across America. What they found was striking. 71% of the counties with the highest glyphosate application rates have late-stage non-Hodgkin lymphoma rates well above the national average. These counties are concentrated in the agricultural heartland — the Midwest and the Mississippi River corridor. The same regions producing the bulk of America’s commercial horse feed. The Mississippi River drains water from 31 states carrying agricultural runoff and glyphosate from the entire farm belt. The communities along that corridor have some of the highest cancer rates in the country. The same chemicals are in your horse’s feed bucket every single day.

Researchers analyzed cancer rates across every county in America and found that 60% of the top pesticide-heavy counties have cancer rates well above the national average. These are farming counties — the ones growing the corn, soy, wheat and barley that ends up in your horse’s feed. The WHO classified glyphosate as a probable human carcinogen in 2015. A peer reviewed meta-analysis found that people exposed to glyphosate had a 41% increased risk of developing non-Hodgkin lymphoma. And a growing body of research has identified glyphosate as a plausible contributing factor to metabolic syndrome, Cushing’s, insulin resistance, gut ulceration, chronic inflammation, laminitis and liver and kidney disease in horses. The farmers are getting sick. The horses are getting sick. The same chemicals. The same crops. The same supply chain.

A study conducted by the University of California San Francisco found glyphosate in the urine of 93% of Americans tested. These are not farmers or pesticide workers. These are everyday people eating everyday food. Now think about your horse. Your horse eats more food relative to body weight than you do. Every single day. And the ingredients in most commercial horse feed are far more heavily contaminated than anything on your plate. We don’t have a large scale glyphosate urine study for horses yet. But the crops are the same. The contaminated ingredients are the same. The corrupted supply chain is the same. Your horse cannot tell you they don’t feel well. But their body is showing you every single day.

Check your horse’s feed bag right now. If you see any of these ingredients — your horse is eating glyphosate every single day. Corn distillers grains — so contaminated with glyphosate it is regularly used as rat poison and it shows up in a shocking number of horse supplements. Corn and corn by-products — one of the most heavily sprayed crops in America. Soy and soybean meal — GMO soy is engineered to survive direct glyphosate application. Wheat and wheat middlings — sprayed as a pre-harvest desiccant even when non-GMO. Oats and barley — same story. Beet pulp — nearly 95% of US sugar beets are now glyphosate resistant GMO crops. Flip the bag. Every time.

Buying non-GMO feed does not mean your horse is safe from glyphosate. This is one of the biggest misconceptions in the horse world right now. Glyphosate is now commonly sprayed on non-GMO crops like wheat, oats and barley as a pre-harvest desiccant — a drying agent applied right before harvest to make the process faster and cheaper. There is no time for it to break down. It goes straight from the field into the bag. The non-GMO label tells you the seed was not genetically modified. It tells you nothing about what was sprayed on it. Wheat. Oats. Barley. Three of the most common ingredients in mainstream horse feed. All routinely contaminated — GMO or not.

Glyphosate is destroying your horse’s gut through one very specific mechanism. It is called the shikimate pathway. The trillions of bacteria living inside your horse’s gut use this pathway to produce essential amino acids — tryptophan, tyrosine and phenylalanine. These are not optional nutrients. Tryptophan produces serotonin — the chemical that regulates mood, behavior and gut function. Tyrosine produces thyroid hormones. Phenylalanine is essential for building and repairing proteins throughout the entire body. Glyphosate was specifically designed to destroy the shikimate pathway. That is how it kills weeds. More than half of the bacterial species in your horse’s gut use this exact same pathway. Low serotonin looks like anxiety and spookiness. Thyroid disruption looks like metabolic issues and weight gain. Sound familiar?

Arthritis and joint issues are now commonplace in horses and happening to younger and younger animals. Here is a theory from MIT researchers that may explain why. Glyphosate and glycine are structurally almost identical molecules. Glycine is the primary building block of collagen — the protein that makes up tendons, ligaments, cartilage, bone, skin and hooves. MIT researchers Stephanie Seneff and Anthony Samsel proposed that the body may accidentally incorporate glyphosate in place of glycine when building these structures. The result — a structure that looks right but is weaker, more prone to failure, more likely to break under pressure. 30% of thoroughbred racehorses suffer tendon injuries in training. Racehorses are collapsing at an alarming rate. Our OTTB Radar came to us with a 50% suspensory ligament tear. Clean diet healed him completely.
