Sound familiar?  The ground gets wet, then dry, then wet again. And like clockwork, your horse comes up three-legged lame with a hot, throbbing foot. You call the vet. You call the farrier. Somebody says wet-dry cycles. Somebody says stone bruise. You soak, you wrap, you wait for it to blow, and everyone moves on until next year.

Every summer, thousands of horses are diagnosed with allergies. They get steroid injections, antihistamines, fly sprays, expensive supplements, and then next summer, they are right back where they started. 

Today we are looking at summer skin (and overall allergies) through the EEM framework - and by the end of this, you will see your horses very differently.

Today we're talking about white line disease, and I want to approach this one a little differently than most of what you'll find online, because most of what you'll find online stops about halfway through the actual story.

We're going to start at the beginning: what white line disease actually is, how it's typically treated, and why that treatment plan is necessary but ofte...

Today's topic is the reason terrain gets out of balance in the first place. We're talking about the five biggest mistakes I see on the Minerals and Metals Mane Test, the MMMT, week after week, horse after horse.

Here's the belief I want you to walk away questioning today: most horse owners are not making bad decisions. They're making nutrition decisions with incomplete info...

Your horse has had fecal water for months. You've tried the probiotics. You've added the gut supplements. You've done the paste. You switched hay. You called your vet. And every single time, you get some version of the same answer: it's probably stress, or maybe ulcers, or just how some horses are.

And meanwhile your horse is standing there with stained legs, and you are st...

Today we're tackling one of the most frequently cited studies in the world of equine hair tissue mineral analysis, or HTMA.

If you've spent any time researching HTMA, you've probably heard someone say:

"That 2022 Journal of Equine Veterinary Science study proved hair mineral testing doesn't work."

And honestly, that's one of the reasons I wanted to record this episode.

Because...

Today, we are talking about longevity. About what it actually takes to build a horse that ages well. About why some horses peak later instead of declining earlier. And about what owners who have these horses did differently -- not just in their senior years, but years before anyone was thinking about senior years.

Because the horses that stay sound longer? They usually aren...

Walk into the average horse barn and tell me what you see in the feed room.

Bags of complete feed. Probably a senior formula. Maybe a ration balancer sitting next to a fat supplement sitting next to a joint supplement sitting next to a hoof supplement sitting next to something for ulcers. And somewhere in the back, a bucket of electrolytes that nobody's really sure if they ...

The horse industry has a dirty little secret.

We’ve been calling deterioration a care plan.

Joint injections at ten. Ulcers at seven. Behavioral issues blamed on attitude. Topline disappearing despite a full feed room. And everyone just… nods along. Like this is fine. Like this is just what horses do.

It’s not fine. And it’s no...

Why isn't my horse absorbing vitamin E? In this episode, we cover the difference between natural d-alpha-tocopherol and synthetic dl-alpha-tocopherol, why horses on hay are almost always starting from deficiency, how oxidative stress from iron overload, high-PUFA fats, and inflammation depletes vitamin E faster than you can replace it, and how to actually troubleshoot non-...

Light is one of the most overlooked inputs in both human and equine health—and it may be one of the most impactful.

We spend so much time focusing on nutrition, supplements, and protocols… but the body responds to its environment first. And light is a primary signal that helps regulate circadian rhythm, hormone patterns, energy production, and nervous system ba...

If your horse is already on a forage-based, low inflammatory feeding program and you’re still not seeing the changes you expected… you’re not alone.

In this episode, we walk through a common scenario: a horse on a well-structured nutrition program that still appears “stuck.” Instead of immediately changing the feed or adding more supplements, ...

If your horse is on the “perfect” program — low sugar, balanced minerals, anti-inflammatory diet — but still struggling with weight, insulin resistance, or metabolic issues… you may be missing one critical piece:

Circadian rhythm.

Recently there was some push back around soy as an ingredient and more over as an amino acid requirement in feed and or ration balancers. The good ol “show me the scientific evidence” came right out. So lets talk about soy as an ingredient and why it matters even for horses that don’t have a direct sensitivity or allergy for soy. Today we will talk throug...
