            • 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.

              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.

              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.

                        ** We will be taking a mini summer break for the month of July! After episode 62, the next episode (Ep 63) will release on Tuesday, August 1st. Catch up on past episodes if you haven't had a chance to listen in yet!**

                        Co-host Katy Starr and guest expert Dr. Stephen Duren, PhD, MS, PAS, discuss current research that was presented at the 2023 Equine Science Society Symposium held in Grapevine, Texas. 

                         

                        They discussed what the Equine Science Society is and the value it offers to the horse industry and horse owners. Some of the research highlighted in this episode involves potential livestock models to study bone and joint health in growing horses, hay nets and slow feeders and the impact on dental health, body condition score, weight and behavior, exercise intensity as it influences gastric ulcers in horses, algae as a source of DHA and EPA (which are important in the metabolism of omega 3 fatty acids) for anti-inflammatory effects on joints and joint healing, looking for fiber markers in forage that can predict digestibility of forage, equine gut microbiome including specific microbes and what they do from an individual standpoint and how they function as a community for certain activities, standardizing credentials for equine nutritionists, and so many other topics!

                        Dr. Tania Cubitt and Katy Starr interview Penn State Equine Extension Educator, Laura Kenny about how to know if your pasture is adequate, if improvements need to be made, or if it’s a total loss that needs to start over through pasture evaluation techniques. 

                         

                        Laura also shares some tips on how to get the most out of a pasture to benefit the horse and the environment. Laura and Dr. Cubitt talk about why horse owners should determine their goals with their horses before reseeding or improving pastures, and finding a good balance between what is good for the pasture and soil but what is also needed for specific horses, particularly ones struggling with metabolic disorders.

                         

                        They also discuss foxtail, including what it is, how to identify it and differentiate it from timothy grass, and how to get rid of it.
