First Do No Harm

Equine posture and soundness with Dr Karen Gellman


Listen Later


Many horse owners focus on the surface-level signs of discomfort—like a limp or a stiff gait—but few understand that the underlying issue could be something much more fundamental: equine posture. Ignoring this can lead to chronic pain, recurring injuries, and unnecessary veterinary expenses.

What if there was a way to improve your horse's posture and, as a result, enhance their overall well-being, soundness, and performance? In this episode, we dive into the world of equine posture with Dr. Karen Gellman, a veterinarian specializing in biomechanics and posture rehabilitation. Dr. Gellman shares insights on why posture is the foundation of equine health and how to achieve it through simple, practical methods.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

  • Why posture is a critical, often overlooked aspect of equine health.

  • The three most important influences on your horse's posture: the hooves, the neck, and the teeth.

  • How proper hoof care can prevent imbalances and support healthy movement.

  • The surprising role that a horse's teeth play in maintaining good posture and locomotion.

  • Get ready to transform your understanding of equine health and take the first step toward a happier, healthier horse!
