    Ep. 074: How to Prevent Gastric Issues by Supporting the Horse's Gut Microbiome

    Ep. 074: How to Prevent Gastric Issues by Supporting the Horse's Gut Microbiome

    On this episode, co-host Katy Starr and guest expert Dr. Stephen Duren, PhD, MS, PAS discuss healing a horse’s damaged digestive system including:

     

    • Different ways horses can have a compromised or damaged digestive system and how to heal it
    • Preventative solutions to minimize gastric ulcers in horses
    • How an unstable microbiome can impact multiple functions of the horse’s body

     

    An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure – meaning it is easier (and most often cheaper!) to do what you can to keep something from happening in the first place rather than try to fix or repair the issue after it has happened. 

     

    What if you could give your horse exactly what its digestive system requires while simultaneously preventing other potential issues from occurring while you’re at it? You won’t want to miss out on this conversation!

    Ep. 073: Navigating the Diet Struggle: Feeding Your Carb Sensitive Horse

    Welcome back to the new year!

     

    On this episode, co-host Katy Starr and guest expert Dr. Stephen Duren, PhD, MS, PAS discuss carbohydrate sensitivity in performance horses including:

    • The differences between dietary starch, water soluble carbohydrates (WSC), ethanol soluble carbohydrates (ESC), and non-structural carbohydrates (NSC) – and what carbohydrate sensitive horses should and should NOT consume
    • Understanding the role that alfalfa, teff grass, beet pulp, rice bran, flaxseed meal and more play in a horse’s diet
    • Helping horse owners provide their horses with the right nutrient requirements in a safe manner, while minimizing the preparation workload

     

    We cover A LOT in this episode - from breaking down the main function of the horse’s digestive system, to what is happening in the body of a horse who is sensitive to carbohydrates to discussing a fiber-based, grain-free, molasses-free solution for these types of horses who need extra calories due to a higher activity level or for those who struggle to keep weight on.

    Ep. 071: Does My Horse Need a Blanket in the Winter? What the Research Says

    Ep. 071: Does My Horse Need a Blanket in the Winter? What the Research Says

    On this episode, co-hosts Dr. Tania Cubitt and Katy Starr and guest Dr. Michelle DeBoer discuss the hotly debated topic of whether or not horses actually need blankets in the winter, based on scientific research, including:

     

    • Changes in hair coat length and diameter in blanketed and non-blanketed horses
    • How body weight, body condition score and dry matter intake are impacted in blanketed horses
    • The next scientific research project in the works to evaluate whether horses should be blanketed or not

     

    Can horses actually TELL us if they want a blanket or not? Dr. DeBoer also shares the results from a fascinating research study answering this question. 

     

    This is only part one of our interview! In Episode 72, the second part of this conversation, releasing Tuesday, December 5, Dr. DeBoer discusses the physiological processes that keep horses warm and if deciding to blanket, the right way to do it to keep horses at a healthy body condition and safe through the winter.

    Ep. 067: The Longest & Toughest Horse Race in the World – Racing the Mongol Derby

    On this episode, co-host Katy Starr chats with horse trainer and back country pilot, Lena Haug, about her multi-worldly equine adventures, mainly surrounding her time competing in the longest and toughest horse race in the world, the Mongol Derby. 

     

    She shares about being completely immersed in the honorable Mongolian culture, self-navigating horses who are racing at top speed - all the while dodging military fields and wild dogs - getting kicked in the face from an unintentional dismount, only to get immediately back on for what felt like a rocket headed to space.

     

    With adventure in her veins, Lena’s ambitious pursuits are not for the faint of heart. Live vicariously through her trials and exhilarations in this captivating episode.
