Kathryn Watts' presentations on CDs
These Power Point lectures, authored and narrated by Kathryn Watts, are getting rave reviews from experts in equine health and hoof care. The science behind carbohydrate formation in grass is presented in an interesting, entertaining format, using plain language and analogies that anyone can understand. These CDs provide essential information for horse owners, veterinarians and hoof care providers dealing with horses prone to laminitis, PSSM, obesity and too rapid growth of young stock.
By understanding and properly managing the diet you can effectively prevent and resolve these conditions in horses. Whether you are a PhD, DVM, or a high school grad, you will learn a lot of practical, useful information that can make a huge difference in your horse's well being.

Pasture and Forage Management for Laminitic Horses
This presentation explains the factors affecting the Non Structural Carbohydrate (sugar, starch and fructan) content of forag
e. Learn under which conditions hay can have 30% sugar. Get data from studies underway that measure carb content of grass under various management practices. This understanding will enable you to make better decisions about how to manage pastures for lower NSC content, make better hay purchases and understand when to graze horses that are intolerant of carbohydrates, or just too fat.
Dietary Management of the Carbohydrate Intolerant Horse
If you have one of those 'easy keeper' horses who swells up with lumpy fat
just smelling green grass, you need this information. Learn about hidden sources of carbs in feed, and how to make better management decisions for high risk horses BEFORE they founder. This lecture will also be useful for managing horses with other diseases caused by excess carbohydrates such as Equine Polysaccharide Storage Myopathy, physitis, OCD, and tying up
Soil Minerals: The Basis of Nutrition
With a unique perspective blending soil science and nutrition, this narrated PowerPoint lecture is beneficial to anyone needing to optimize the health of animals that graze or eat hay. Discover how your regional climate and soil type affects the availability of specific minerals. Learn how you may be able
to maximize your horse’s nutrition through use of fertilizer or other soil amendments. When that is not possible, learn how you can supplement your horses to prevent mineral deficiency. Understand how minerals interact with one another to exacerbate or create mineral deficiency. Gain knowledge of mineral deficiency symptoms. Get pro-active to prevent health issues caused by mineral deficiency.$25.00

From Experts in Equine Health and Hoof Care
Dr. Chris Pollitt, U of Queensland, AU
" Recent results from the Australian Equine Laminitis Research Unit have confirmed that horses can develop laminitis when hindgut fermentation of fructan occurs. The valuable work of Kathryn Watts, in estimating carbohydrate concentrations in various pasture species, applies our laboratory findings to field conditions and her message will be of the utmost importance to all horse care-givers."Pete Ramey, Hoof Rehabilitation Specialist ,
"Why do so many horses have constant wall flaring and white line separation? Why do some pastures seem to founder every horse that sets foot on them? Why does some "innocent looking" hay seem to be as bad for horses as free-choice sweet feed? The wealth of information from Kathryn Watts' research and her site www.safergrass.org has given the world valuable answers to questions we never knew enough to ask. If you ever get the chance to hear her in person, do not pass it up! The tools she can add to your bag of tricks are unbelievable."Dr. Sarah Ralston, Equine Nutritionist, Rutgers University
"The work Katy Watts is doing is revolutionary (in the equine nutrition realm), critical and practical".
