Psyllium supplementation lowered glucose (P<0.0001) concentrations, glucose AUC (P<0.0001), insulin AUC (P 1⁄40.0067), and increased time to peak glucose (P 1⁄40.0478).There was a treatment by sex interaction for insulin (P 1⁄40.0101), and peak insulin (P 1⁄40.0163) concentrations, glucose AUC (P 1⁄40.0253), and insulin AUC (P 1⁄40.0129). These variables were lowered to a greater extent in geldings than in mares. Higher NSC intake resulted in higher peak insulin (P 1⁄40.0398) in all horses. Older horses had higher peak insulin (P 0.0091), decreased time to peak glucose (P<0.0001) and decreased time to peak insulin (P 0.0005All characteristics of glucose and insulin decreased (P 0.0154) over the 30 day interval spent grazing pasture. These results indicate that supplementing psyllium in horses grazing cool season grasses lowered systemic glucose and insulin concentrations and these effects may reduce the risk of metabolic diseases, such as laminitis, in horses consuming NSCs. However, systemic glucose and insulin concentrations were effected to a greater extent in males
