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.

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.

On this episode, co-hosts Dr. Tania Cubitt and Katy Starr chat with guest, Dr. Krishona Martinson, Equine Extension Specialist at the University of Minnesota, to discuss how common it is for horses to consume poisonous or toxic plants, the most common toxic plant species that horses NEED to avoid - including how to identify them, how much of the plant is toxic if consumed, along with signs and symptoms to be aware of, and what next steps should be taken to help our horse if we think they may have been exposed to or have consumed a poisonous plant.

Dr. Martinson also shares some useful resources for horse owners to keep on hand to better understand a variety of toxic or harmful plant species.

On this episode, co-hosts Dr. Tania Cubitt and Katy Starr, along with the other half of PHN, guest expert Dr. Stephen Duren – the first time they’ve joined forces on the Beyond the Barn podcast! They break down “the why” for Standlee’s packaging updates and improvements, including three key changes on the front of the packaging that will undoubtedly help horse and livestock owners better understand what they see on their farm and ranch retail store shelf and what they’re buying for their animals.

Also, if you’ve ever wondered how long the storage and shelf life is of Standlee’s forage products, what a “date code” is and where to find it, they cover it in this episode.

Need some one-on-one nutrition answers from a PhD equine nutritionist? You might be surprised to find out you have this exclusive experience offering if you buy Standlee products.
