what is
Insulin Resistance In Horses
Normally, insulin carries glucose into cells to balance blood sugar. In IR, cells can’t use that insulin properly, so glucose turns into stored fat instead of energy.

Why It Happens
What causes a horse to become insulin resistant?
Genetics play a role — some breeds are predisposed. Modern stall life, feeding practices, and idle time can contribute as well. Wild horses forage up to 20 miles a day and rarely develop IR.
