Deficiency of certain nutrients can lead to negative effects on equine behavior. Thiamine deficiency has
been shown to cause hyperirritability, nervousness and reduced appetite in horses and ponies. In hardworking
horses or those on high-grain diets, production of thiamine by intestinal bacteria may be
reduced because of stress and hindgut acidosis. Magnesium deficiency can also lead to nervousness as
well as muscle tremors and even convulsions. To help counteract these effects, Kentucky Equine
