In this episode, we'll explore the topic of mysterious lameness in horses and how to effectively uncover and address the root cause. April Love, an expert in holistic horse care, shares her insights and techniques for identifying the true source of lameness, which is often different from the apparent location of the issue.

Key points covered in the episode include:

  • Understanding how horses compensate for injuries by overworking other areas, leading to apparent lameness in different parts of the body.
  • Identifying overcompensation and muscle tightness as clues to the real problem area.
  • Recommended products that can help pinpoint the affected area.
  • Tracing the cause of lameness back to the root problem, such as misalignment or inability of one area to perform its function.
  • Uncovering and addressing multiple sources of lameness simultaneously.

Throughout the discussion, April emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach to horse care and the need to understand the underlying causes of lameness, rather than just treating the symptoms. If you're struggling with mysterious lameness in your horse, this is an episode you'll want to listen to!
