Interview with Dr Tomas Teskey - www.insighttoequus.com Second time lucky! After our first attempt (which didn't get off to a good start due to technical issues and mosquitoes) I'm very pleased to announce f an interview with Dr Tomas Teskey from  Arizona USA. It was my lovely regular podcast guests Scout and Michelle from "Scout's trail" who suggested I contact Tomas to see if he would like to be a guest and I'm very pleased to say he said yes, so thank you Scout and Michelle for your recommendation. Tomas has a wealth of knowledge and he is very passionate about about his work, horses and how we can help them and ourselves with a little more understanding of their needs. A little step can go along way and It always starts with one step at a time. So sit back, relax and I hope you enjoy this episode for an interesting and enlightening conversation, around everything horse related and so much more. Dr Tomas Teskey. Dr. Tomas Teskey is a human, native to Arizona and the second oldest of five siblings in a six-generation ranching family. He received a Bachelor’s degree in Botany from Northern Arizona University in 1991, and Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Colorado State University in 1995. He has practiced large animal medicine and surgery in Arizona since graduation, with the majority of his work focusing on horses. Taking a special interest in equine podiatry since 2001, he became a passionate supporter or the barefoot performance horse, and published “The Unfettered Foot, A Paradigm Change for Equine Podiatry”, in the Journal of Equine Veterinary Science in February, 2005. This sparked greater attention, discussion and interest within the veterinary community about the benefits of a more holistic and natural approach to hoof care versus the more antagonistic approaches of conventional farriery. Numerous other articles have continued to explore these not-so-new ideas. Dr. Teskey originally learned to shoe horses as part of normal ranching duties and conventional veterinary care, and now focuses on developing equine management programs that nurture a happy human-horse partnership. Applying the principles of holistic hoof care to his horses, he has learned valuable, on the ground lessons from the horses themselves, which now enjoy greater soundness and vitality, working in the same rough Western terrain as previous generations. With superior health and soundness as a goal, he is a leading veterinary authority on the equine hoof and barefoot performance horse, is dedicated to continued research in hoof care, and is happiest supporting horse owners in their efforts to achieve honest soundness by holding lectures and workshops on horse and hoof care worldwide. He lives on the family ranch in Arizona with his wife Csenge and four children. https://www.insighttoequus.com https://www.facebook.com/insighttoequus   Video version (alongside applicable podcasts) can be viewed on facebook and YouTube. https://www.facebook.com/equinevoices.co.uk https://www.youtube.com/@equinevoicesuk https://www.instagram.com/equinevoices.uk Contact Ronnie. mailto:[email protected]
