Horse Mysteries Solved!

Why haven't scientists solved headshaking in horses yet? 

They know it's a cranial nerve problem. Yet when scientists inspect the nerves, they can't find anything wrong.

That's because it's a nerve transmission problem, rather than a problem with the nerve itself.

Care for the full explanation? 

It's on today's Horse Mysteries Solved? podcast.

If you listened to the last podcast of Horse Mysteries Solved, you know we talked about the true cause of kissing spine in horses.

This podcast is a continuation: Kissing spine Part 2.

The body has multiple compensation layers available to it. 

You may be familiar with this straightforward example: when the left leg hurts, the body puts more weight on the right leg.

Besides compensating mechanisms, the body has multiple "backup" systems in place.

In this podcast, I share the body's primary backup mechanism for avoiding kissing spine -- this will be shocking.

I'm super excited about this kissing spine podcast. Why?

Because I just had someone verify my theory!

Weird and wonderful ideas you'll hear on this Horse Mysteries Solved podcast:

• There is no evidence that kissing spine itself causes pain
• What could be causing kissing spine? Does the body do it on purpose? Why?
• Every horse with kissing spine that I've checked has liver issues. 

What's really going on with equine kissing spine?

Have you ever had a horse that just doesn't show the same enthusiasm for work that he or she used to?

Maybe a jumper who didn't want to jump anymore?

Or barrel racer who backs out of the box?

There are many more examples of how horses show they're not comfortable.

On today's Horse Mysteries Solved podcast, let's chat about coffin joints. 

Coffin joints are one of those sneaky issues that cause horses problems, even lamenesses.

We'll talk about two items causing coffin joint problems that everyone thinks of....

and the two coffin joint issues that no one thinks about.

Stiffness often starts subtly. It's hard to tell if a horse is stiff, or "just getting old".

The Horse Mysteries Solved podcast out today talks about the two most common causes of stiffness and what to do about it.

Stop injecting joints and try these easy tips first. 🙂

Happy 2024!

Ever wonder what the vet is thinking when your horse has a tricky lameness, like stifle issues?

In this Horse Mysteries Solved podcast, I share what vets are thinking regarding stifles.

Then, we talk about alternative practitioners viewpoints. 

Most important takeaway?

That the primary cause of chronic stifle issues is (about 80% of the time).....in the opposite hind leg.

"What?! She can't be serious," your brain may shout.

Shout all you want. Come along and hear my reasoning. All comments welcome. 🙂

Cheers,

Renee

Are you using regular table salt? I hope not. 

Typical table salts have been heavily processed, bleached, and heated. This high heat changes the chemical structure of sodium chloride, transforming it into an indigestible toxin. 

Up to 80 minerals and essential trace minerals are removed. It also contains chemically engineered anti-caking agents called calcium silicate.

The above information can be found in a simple internet search about table salt. 

On today's Horse Mysteries Solved podcast, we talk about the ins and outs of salt for horses.

We cover:

• What to avoid (blocks)
• what to use (loose salt) 
• what to do if your horse eats too much salt and/or urinates excessively
• with fun commentary about what the og septic guy told me

Listen now and enjoy!

If you have time for a short podcast today, we have the final podcast of our horse health happiness series: #5 Accessories.

The accessories to health are vaccines, dewormers, and supplements.

This podcast is short as there is only so much I can say at the moment. But I'll get back to you later with more details. 

(I don't want to be mysterious, but I can't tell you and I can't tell you why. --Name the movie quote. ;))

As always I welcome your comments and questions,
