Are you skeptical of trends in the horse world? Here's how to look at equine research in a way that actually HELPS your horse!

This week, we’re joined by Elisa Walfish of The Data Driven Equestrian — a true game-changer in the equine world. Elisa has a knack for breaking down complex equestrian studies, making science accessible for every horse owner. Whether you're struggling to understand the latest equine products or unsure how to evaluate research for your horse's unique needs, this episode is for you.

We dive into how Elisa’s background in biology led her to create a resource that empowers horse owners to make informed decisions without needing a PhD.

Learn Elisa's insider tips on how to navigate Google Scholar like a pro, decode scientific jargon, and spot red flags in equine marketing. Plus, learn the crucial difference between qualitative and quantitative research, and why sample size matters more than you think.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the science or skeptical about the latest equine trends, this conversation is your guide to cutting through the noise.
