April discusses how the first rib in foals can become misaligned and that causes the hind end to develop incorrectly.

Does your black horse fade to brown in the summer?

In this episode, April discusses how the color change is likely due to a copper deficiency in the horse's diet. She suggests feeding the horse Dynamite Liquid Trace Minerals once a week to provide the necessary copper and prevent the fading of its black coat.

April also mentions that chestnut horses with burnt-out-looking hair and curled ends may have a copper deficiency as well.

April believes that mineral deficiency can make horses more prone to parasites, so she advises using organic diatomaceous earth and doing fecal counts every two to three months.

In this episode, April discusses ways to handle moodiness in mares during the summer when they are cycling. The main concern is that the moody behavior may affect interactions with other horses, and impact performance at horse shows or events.

April suggests starting by addressing any physical discomfort the mare might be experiencing. Similar to humans, horses can become irritable when in pain. She recommends trying her horse yoga program, which consists of five basic stretches to make the mare more comfortable in her body.

By understanding the mare's specific needs, balancing her hormonal system, and addressing any physical discomfort, it becomes possible to improve her behavior and overall well-being. April advises doing horse yoga, trying supplements if necessary, and consulting with a veterinarian to determine the best course of action for the individual mare.

In this episode, April explains muscle testing, which is a technique used to determine the suitability and effectiveness of supplements and products for horses. 

April explains that muscle testing involves "yes" or "no" answers. She teaches muscle testing in her applied kinesiology class. She emphasizes the importance of assessing the vitality and quality of products before feeding them to horses. By placing a hand on the product packaging, one can ask if its vitality is greater than 8 on a scale of 1 to 10. 

April also suggests asking if the product is good for the horse and if the horse can assimilate it effectively. She shares her experience using NCD (Natural Cellular Defense) to passively clear the horse's liver and kidneys of toxins, which can affect their overall health. 

She notes that being emotionally upset can affect the accuracy of muscle testing. 

Overall, muscle testing can help horse owners save money by ensuring they provide the right products that their horses can effectively assimilate.

To use a bit or not, has often been discussed by horsemen.

Many people go to a bigger, harsher bit when their horse doesn't respond. It could be that the horse's head is not in alignment. The skull is not one big bone, it's many bones fused together. If a horse pulls back those bones can shift.

This affects the teeth and how the bit feels in the horse's mouth.

Learn how to correct the teeth, the temporal mandibular joint, and other cranial issues and you might be able to go bitless.
