Lauren Nicholson's Formulas for Success

Recommendations from a World Equestrian Games U.S. Eventing Team Member

“Our horses come in at 7:00 in the morning. They get fed; they get groomed and ridden. Then they go back to turnout as soon as possible, no later than 2:00 in the afternoon, and spend the rest of the day and night outside on grass. Nutrition is something we spend a lot of time talking about, researching and discussing with nutrition experts at Buckeye and Platinum and with our vets and physios what we think each horse needs to help them be at their best. We're constantly adjusting it to their needs. We don’t put every horse on the same thing. Each horse has a very detailed nutrition and supplement program that they're on. Nutrition is really important to our program and to these horses as athletes.”
