*** Beyond the Barn is going on a break! See the note below our episode description for more details. ***

On this episode, co-hosts Dr. Tania Cubitt and Katy Starr discuss equine Cushing’s disease in horses, also known as pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID), including:

• What type of horses are most likely to get Cushing’s disease
• The difference between equine Cushing’s disease and equine metabolic syndrome (EMS)
• How to properly feed a horse with Cushing’s disease and what to avoid

Tune in as Dr. Cubitt explains how to properly feed and care for a horse with Cushing’s disease. She shares common symptoms of Cushing’s disease in horses and how it’s diagnosed, along with a symptom that often gets missed with our competitive show horses.
