Throwback Thursday - a case study on EGUS
Listen now
Description
Season 1, episode 7: Throwback to last year at this time when we were dealing with a severe case of ulcers on one of my mares.  Listen through as Katie and I go over her case and discuss this common occurring disease.    Update:  Annie is doing well and spent the summer being ridden by a young rider in local shows where she excelled!  We continue to monitor her for signs of ulcers and are careful to watch that she has enough fiber, water and gut health support through simple supplementation.   Ulcers are becoming what is seemingly more and more common in our industry today. People have adapted many ways to try and cope or deal with them to minimize the effects on their horses. In today's episode we'll go through a live case study on a mare that's recently been diagnosed through a gastroscope with severe squamous and pyloric ulcers. We'll talk about how she came to have a scope, current treatment protocol and thoughts on maintenance for her to continue her career. Follow the photos and video on our facebook and Instagram sites under Equine Body Talks. Send us your feedback and questions you may have on the condition as we'll also have a vet in the near future discuss her case and answer any questions you may have. Thank you for all your support and downloads! Our goal with this podcast is to continually open the conversation around equine wellness and bodywork. It is through open conversation that we can grow this industry with knowledge and understanding of our equine partners. Ever evolving along with tried and true methods of horse husbandry, it’s by learning from one another that we will elevate the care of these amazing animals and partners. So don’t be afraid to connect through social media, both Facebook and Instagram @equinebodytalks #opentheconversation

Often when we talk about riding for straightness, the image of a horse, collected and engaged, going in a straight line down the long side of the arena comes to mind. But how do you achieve straightness in the corners? Or out in the field? And why is it important to work on straightness in our...
