Join the conversation with Dr. James Carmalt as we dive into the complexities of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and its crucial role in equine performance. James brings to the table a wealth of knowledge, sharing remarkable insights that will change the way you perceive this often-overlooked aspect of equine health. As we navigate through the biological marvel of the TMJ's healing abilities and the perplexing prevalence of its ailments, we uncover why these disorders can so easily evade detection, and their profound impact on a horse's capability to perform.

Our second segment shifts gears, delving into the common challenges faced by equine veterinarians. From colic surgeries to the nuances of lameness, we dissect the importance of sharing knowledge and collaborative efforts. Discover the personal journey that led James to his passion for TMJ research. We also dissect the decision-making behind publishing research and the vital connections that bind the veterinary surgical community.

The episode culminates with a reflection on the ever-evolving nature of veterinary practices and the paramount importance of listening—both to our peers and to the stories of our clients. Utilizing a blend of historical and contemporary research, we underscore the benefits of learning from the past to better our future endeavors. This episode serves as a reminder that our pursuit of knowledge and improvement is as enduring as the bond between humans and horses.
