Send Audrey a Text to get your question answered on the showToday's topic is the reason terrain gets out of balance in the first place. We're talking about the five biggest mistakes I see on the Minerals and Metals Mane Test, the MMMT, week after week, horse after horse.Here's the belief I want you to walk away questioning today: most horse owners are not making bad decisions. They're making nutrition decisions with incomplete information. There's a real difference between those two things, and once you see these five mistakes laid out, you'll understand why so many "we're doing everything right" horses are still stuck.

Send Audrey a Text to get your question answered on the showYour horse has had fecal water for months. You've tried the probiotics. You've added the gut supplements. You've done the paste. You switched hay. You called your vet. And every single time, you get some version of the same answer: it's probably stress, or maybe ulcers, or just how some horses are.And meanwhile your horse is standing there with stained legs, and you are standing there with an empty wallet and zero answers.Here's what I want to tell you today: the problem probably isn't your horse's gut. And it's definitely not your hay. The problem is that everyone — including well-meaning professionals — has been looking at the wrong end of the horse.

Equine skin problems can stem from a wide range of causes, including parasites, bacterial or fungal infections, allergies, and prolonged exposure to moisture or irritants. Successfully managing horses with skin problems relies on working with your veterinarian to identify the underlying issue and appropriately treat it.

During this episode, veterinarians answer your questions about common equine skin problems. This episode is brought to you by Creative Science. Meet the Experts: Julia Miller, DVM, Dipl.
