Dr. Jimmy Nichols makes equine nutrition legible by connecting technical measurements to practical feeding and management decisions.

Short reviews from the PlayNext desk, based on the episodes we processed.
A practical feeding lesson that treats draft-horse math as something to measure, not guess.
The episode gives a clear, useful walk-through of draft-breed feeding with Dr. Jimmy Nichols. It stays on the basics that matter: what sets draft horses apart, how dry matter intake works, why hay weight and grain both have to be counted, and how waste factor changes the final…
A practical reset on horse feed decisions, showing why the numbers alone do not tell the whole story.
Episode 117 makes a clear case that horse nutrition is more than matching numbers on a feed tag. Dr. Jimmy Nichols uses the donut-versus-steak comparison to show how calories, protein, and fat can look similar on paper while the body treats them very differently.
Practical fly control with useful barn details and a slightly loose opening.
The episode treats fly control as barn work, not theory, and that gives it real use value. It moves from social media cleanup and Bluebonnet support into prevention, cost, and trap placement, with enough concrete detail for horse owners to act on.
A practical look at feeding changes for horses with limited oral health and choke risk.
Episode 124 treats feeding as a mouth problem more than a foot problem, and that framing keeps the discussion practical. Dr. Jimmy opens with the familiar "no foot, no horse" line, then recasts it for horses that struggle to chew or swallow cleanly.
Pregnant mares need measured feeding, not guesswork, and this discussion keeps that priority front and center.
Episode 119 keeps its focus on feeding mares through pregnancy without letting caution turn into excess. Dr. Jimmy Nichols returns to the basics that actually change outcomes: hay quality, sugar content, body condition, and the reminder that visual judgment can be unreliable…
A clear guide to reading horse-feed sugar numbers without losing the whole-diet context.
This episode stays close to the practical work of reading equine sugar values after the 2023 Equus Summit. Dr. Jimmy Nichols walks through ESC, WSC, NSC, starch, and fructans, then ties those numbers back to real choices about hay and diet balance.
A collagen episode that keeps steering back to the basics horses need first.
Collagen is the hook, but the episode keeps coming back to the basics of horse feeding. Dr. Jimmy Nichols brings in a vision-board detour and a collagen coffee routine, yet the point stays simple: collagen is not a magic fix and it does not take the place of a balanced diet.
A careful look at why plasma can mean more than one thing.
Dr. Jimmy Nichols explains why plasma can mean more than one thing, moving from the seasonal foal rush to horse feeds that now add plasma to formulas.
Pastoral Bible teaching for ordinary church life.
Serious answers for genuinely curious kids.
Hard ideas, sharply compressed.
Education, care, and belonging made human.
