EPSM Specific Articles 

The goal of this diet is to provide no more than 15% total daily calories from starch and sugar, and at least 25% of total daily calories from fat. Such a diet is essential for the well-being of a horse with EPSM (equine polysaccharide storage myopathy), but is beneficial for all working horses. Feeding fat may seem unnatural, but then the Natural Horse doesn't eat grain, either. The ancestral horse was a far cry from today's working horse in size and build, and was not a working horse. Only recently have we begun to understand how best to feed working muscle.
