    Ep. 060: The Truth About Horses with Hay Belly

    Ep. 060: The Truth About Horses with Hay Belly

    Dr. Tania Cubitt and Katy Starr discuss what a true hay belly is in horses, as it is not well understood by many horse owners. They dive further into detail including ruling out pregnancy and parasites to determine if it’s a hay belly, as well as the specific cause and how to get rid of it and improve your horse’s topline.

    S2 E1: A trainer, a donkey & a Golden Globe winning film - with Megan Hines

    S2 E1: A trainer, a donkey & a Golden Globe winning film - with Megan Hines

    Late last year I started seeing promotions for the film The Banshees of Inisherin, an Irish film that included a miniature donkey Jenny as one of the stars alongside a cast of several other animals and the human actors including Kerry Condon, Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson. I’m not always a fan of animals in films but frankly, Jenny was just gorgeous and as my partner Benn is a fan of miniature donkeys, I was paying more attention.

    I was so delighted to know that Jenny had been trained using positive reinforcement. Not only that, but she had been trained by someone I’d heard of for some years, Megan Hines. Working on a major motion picture with some big-name stars and experienced crew is not something many of us have exposure to, let alone training an equine using positive reinforcement to exist and perform in that environment. I was really keen to meet Megan, hear her training journey and learn about the experience on the film with Jenny… and to be able to share that conversation with you, so I invited Megan to join us for an episode of An Equine Conversation.

    The Banshees of Inisherin was Directed by Martin McDonagh & released here in late December 2022. It has since won 8 Golden Globes, where Colin Farrell thanked Jenny in his acceptance speech, and was nominated for 9 Oscars. If you’ve yet to see it, do make sure to have your hanky ready!

     

    Megan Hines:

    Megan Hines is a gentle equine trainer and coach based in County Roscommon, Ireland.

    Megan specialises in helping leisure horse owners and those with fearful equines to learn an equine-led approach that builds trust, motivates and brings out the character of your equine.

    A South African by birth, Megan was taught by South African National Equestrian Federation instructors for 10 years, where she had the opportunity to experience and compete in a variety of equestrian disciplines including vaulting, gymkhana, dressage, show jumping and cross country.

    Now, with over 20 years’ experience training animals with positive reinforcement (the use of rewards to motivate and shape behaviour), she is no longer competitive and is instead passionate about building a trusting human-equine relationship, avoiding stress and fear in daily handling and training, and teaching cooperative care.

    Megan continues to further her professional development in the areas of equine behaviour and training through study with internationally recognised equine/mixed species positive reinforcement trainers and behaviourists. Her latest training achievements include the training and handling of Jenny donkey for the acclaimed Banshees of Inisherin.

    Megan offers equine training and coaching, allowing you to learn the art and science of positive horsemanship: holistic horse management to best meet equine needs; true liberty work; cooperative care to problem solve for the vet, trimmer and for general handling; bring out the potential of fearful equines; ultimately enjoying a better relationship with your horse, pony, mule or donkey.

    From newborn to one year of age, young horses are known as foals. This first year of life is instrumental in determining how a horse’s future will play out, and poor nutrition can be devastating in a number of different ways. 

    During this episode, Dr. Stephen Duren, PhD. equine nutrition specialist, joins us for a discussion about some of the most important nutritional elements of a horse’s diet. From protein to zinc, to the “big two” nutrients (i.e. calcium and phosphorus), 

    Dr. Duren explains the importance of each and the issues that can arise if a foal receives more or less than the optimal amount. You will also learn about the digestive system of foals, when foals should be started on solids, and how the diet of a pregnant mare impacts the fetus. 

     

    Key Points from This Episode:

    • The definition of a foal
    • Where you can access a comprehensive list of nutrients for horses
    • Nutrients that are critical for foal growth
    • Symptoms of nutrient deficiency in foals
    • The dangers of overfeeding a foal
    • How to support a foal whose mother is not producing enough milk
    • The age at which foals should start consuming hay and concentrates
    • Problems that arise due to a lack of protein
    • Why calcium and phosphorus are known as the “big two”
    • The importance of getting the calcium-phosphorus ratio right
    • How zinc impacts foal growth
    • The effects of inadequate levels of copper in a foal’s diet
    • What a foal’s digestive system looks like
    • How the diet of a pregnant mare will affect the foal after birth
    • The growth stages that a foal goes through during the first year of life
    • How your goals for the foal should determine their nutrition management plan
    • The benefits of a smooth growth curve
    • How to minimize weight issues when a foal is weaned off his mother’s milk
    • Advice on what to feed a growing foal
    • Some of the most common developmental orthopedic diseases
