In this episode, April Love, in response to a fan question, explains how her horse yoga program can help improve a horse's gait, making both the trot and canter smoother.

The yoga exercises serve as diagnostic tools to address issues such as neck stiffness, shoulder restrictions, and spinal problems, which can lead to choppy trots and uneven canters. She highlights five key stretches, each targeting different parts of the horse’s body, to release tension and improve flexibility.

April emphasizes that while the yoga can help, more severe issues such as first rib misalignment often require deeper work through her Equine Musculoskeletal Unwinding program. She offers detailed online courses and diagnostics to help horse owners maintain their horses' well-being and prevent costly vet bills.

In this conversation, April Love shares her experience working with dogs, emphasizing the importance of checking their skeletal alignment, similar to how she works with horses.

She explains that early detection and intervention are key, especially for young dogs, and that's why she created the Canine Musculoskeletal Unwinding program, which teaches dog owners how to address these issues themselves.

The program is best for people who already understand the equine bodywork.

Most male horses are gelded at a young age.

In this episode, April talks about the gelding process and how to ease the transition from colt to gelding.

Castration can be traumatic but with the use of Liquid Trace Minerals and NOT fresh cold water hosing, the incision site will heal quickly with less scarring.

Gelding scars will develop when the incision site gets infected. Gelding scars can severely impact a gelding's athletic ability.

In this episode, April discusses the importance of horse owners preparing for natural disasters such as wildfires, hurricanes, and tornadoes. The key points include:

Learn how to put identification on your horse so if they get loose, the person who finds them can contact you.

Use duct tape and a black Sharpie pen to write your phone number on the horse's hooves. Additionally, consider using dog tags on the horse's halter or blanket.

Always keep essential supplies on hand, such as Dynamite Liquid Trace minerals for wound care, tea tree oil, and Epsom salts.  Prepare a medicine chest with items recommended in horse care books for emergencies like colic, wounds, and smoke inhalation.

It's better to be prepared and not need it than to scramble during an emergency.
