In this episode, Dr. David Marlin sits down with Vickie Dennis and Ruth Schofield, the minds behind the Equiseat Aid. They dive into the inspiration for creating the Equiseat, a product designed to enhance symmetry, engage the rider's seatbones, and improve rider positioning.
David, Vickie, and Ruth discuss the Equiseat Aid's functionality and its benefits for a range of riders. They also explain why they partnered with Animalweb to put the product to the test through scientific research. David shares insights from a preliminary study conducted at ARU Writtle College with Dr. Roberta Blake, highlighting the initial positive results and the plan for an upcoming larger-scale trial with live horses.

Dr David Marlin took the opportunity to catch up with his old friend and colleague, farrier Ben Benson, at the annual Acpat seminar at Leamington Spa in October 2024.
Ben Benson AWCF Farrier presented at the conference 'The Farrier's role in influencing equine posture and injury prevention'.
They discuss the role of the farrier and how they can work with other professionals to determine the best course of action for any horse - given their unique perspective. How can a horse owner/rider get all these experts working together.
Why is the farrier industry in decline, and what are the problems, causes and concerns for the industry? And what are the price differences between shoeing a horse in the UK and abroad? Farriers are being forced to shoe high numbers in the UK, and this is having a detrimental effect on their bodies, and they are struggling to make ends meet.
They even discuss barefoot and why this topic is so divisive, and really it should be about welfare and what is best for the horse at that point in their life given; breed, age, condition, care, sport and whether it actually benefits them or not!
You'll be able to watch the interview video here on Animalweb or listen to the podcast.

What is the autonomic nervous system, and how does it affect our horses?
In this podcast Dr Gillian Tabor discusses the flight and fight, rest and digest elements of horse behaviour and poses the questions:
We have a lot to learn about motivation and ideas such as 'flow state' and how they can be applied to horses, but we must consider that much can be translated. What do you think?

Animalweb's Equine Physiotherapist Dr Gillian Tabor reviews two new research papers on rehabilitation exercises:
The first paper investigates the horse's trunk kinematics and limb movement when walking backwards and forwards.
The second paper evaluates the electromyography activity of a horse's hindlimb muscles during exercises.
Gillian then muses on what we can learn and use in our daily lives from these two new studies and whether we are using the correct exercises for the rehabilitation of our horses.

Dr David Marlin Interviews Charlotte Hodgetts of Myerscough College about her latest Research into Cooling Horses.
David chats with Charlotte about how her equine science career started and what led her to research cooling horses.
Charlotte's work and abstract can be found on the Animalweb website here.
To understand more, here is the Introduction:
Introduction: Strenuous exercise like British Eventing (BE) cross-country competition can increase equine core body temperatures to critical levels, particularly in hot/humid conditions without suitable acclimatisation (Marlin et al., 1996). Heat stroke is a welfare concern, particularly with increasing occurrences of UK heatwaves due to global warming (Kendon et al., 2021). Cooling practices have been investigated for international competition horses working maximally (Marlin et al., 2018), but not specifically the practices used in industry by riders at grassroots level. The aim was to investigate cooling practices used after cross-country phases at BE affiliated grassroots and international-level competition.
