Finding out the first time that your equine is IR can be overwhelming. This gives me a new source of information to share with my clients. I'll share one personal experience. My family has two Welsh ponies that are IR. Just over two months ago, we started using slow feeding hay bags for them. We had already appropriately modified their diet. One of the ponies had a fairly significant neck crest that we had been able to soften but never eliminate. It is nearly gone now. The second pony is having a less dramatic effect on her neck, but it is still better. We will see if the necks continue getting better and better as the seasons change, but I am so far pleased with the good results of the slow hay feeders in positively impacting their metabolism.
