AHS Article Archive

AHS committee members often author informative articles in The American Hanoverian, the AHS's quarterly magazine, and other publications to assist the membership on various Hanoverian topics from breeding and technology, stallion and mare issues, bloodlines and inspection preparation. Since this information has proven to be an invaluable resource for our members, select articles will be available on this site for further review.

Nutrition of the Growing Hanoverian
Special two-part series by Don Kapper, PAS, Director of Nutrition and Technical Services at Progressive Nutrition, LLC and a team member of Akey Nutrition Research and Development and Nutrition Horizon Research and Development at North American Nutrition Companies, Inc.

"All of us who breed warmbloods are interested in reducing the number of
skeletal problems associated with growth, improving reproduction and optimizing performance up to our horses’ genetic potential. We ask ourselves, “How can we effectively manage this on our farms today, without causing digestive upset (colic), while maintaining optimal health and well being in all of our horses?” Understanding nutrition’s role in all of this and dispelling old “myths” is a great place to start."
