Should your horse have hay before you ride? It's a common recommendation at barns everywhere, but does it actually help protect your horse's stomach during exercise?

New research is taking a closer look at the science behind this long-held practice. By studying how different pre-ride feeding routines affect acid splash inside the stomach during exercise, researchers hope to provide clearer, evidence-based guidance for horse owners, trainers, and barn managers.
