EHV-1 has dominated online conversation in recent weeks—but not all the information circulating reflects the science. In this episode of Equine Innovators, we step back from the noise to focus on what researchers and clinicians know about how equine herpesvirus infects horses, how it spreads, why latency matters, and what drives the neurologic form of the disease.Host Stephanie Church, editorial director at The Horse, speaks with Dr. Abby Sage, equine technical services veterinarian for Zoetis and a former state veterinary official, and Dr. Lutz Goehring, professor of equine infectious diseases at the University of Kentucky's Gluck Equine Research Center. Sage and Goehring explain what testing can—and cannot—tell us during an outbreak, clarify common misconceptions, and outline how vaccination and biosecurity fit into a thoughtful response.The conversation also looks ahead, exploring emerging diagnostic tools, vaccine research, and unanswered questions about viral reactivation and neurologic risk. Whether you're a veterinarian or a horse owner navigating heightened concern, this episode offers grounded perspective and practical context.In this episode, Dr. Lutz Goehring and Dr. Abby Sage discuss:How EHV-1 spreads and why outbreaks occur regularly, even when they don't make headlinesWhat differentiates respiratory infection from equine herpesvirus myeloencephalopathyHow veterinarians interpret PCR testing and where stall-side tools fitWhat vaccination can realistically achieve, and what it cannotWhich biosecurity measures matter most at home and on the roadWhere current research on EHV-1 is headed nextTune in to hear how two equine veterinarians break down equine herpesvirus-1 transmission, testing, neurologic disease, and prevention.GUESTS AND LINKS – EPISODE 24:Host: Stephanie L.

That is exactly why January feels rushed, reactive and stressful instead of calm and focused.In this episode, equine business mentor Jenni Bush walks you through a simple, practical reset you can do before 1 January to clear your head, understand your numbers and start the year with intention. This is not about goal setting or vision boards. It is about stabilising your equine business so you are not firefighting by February.You will learn how to clear the clutter that quietly drains your focus, why your numbers matter more than your motivation, and how one clear intention can change the direction of your entire year. Jenni also tackles common January myths in the equine industry, including the belief that clients “do not have money in January”, and explains why this thinking keeps businesses stuck.This episode is for equine business owners who want more structure, better boundaries, clearer messaging and a calmer start to the year without adding more to their plate.Before you make plans for the new year, take the Equine Business Health Check.

In this Feed Room episode, Spike The Vet is back with Red Mills nutritionist Louise Jones to tackle a question that comes up again and again, especially through the winter months: how do you get energy from horses that already carry plenty of condition? They talk through good doers, honest workload assessment, body condition, forage choices, and why simply adding more feed is rarely the answer. There's also an important look at equine metabolic syndrome, including how it can affect competition horses as well as natives, and how feeding needs change depending on the job, from eventing to dressage. Practical, clear, and grounded in real-world experience. HIGHLIGHTS Why good doers can be harder to feed than poor doers The impact of excess weight on energy and performance Simple ways to monitor body condition over time Equine metabolic syndrome beyond the "fat pony" stereotype Feeding low-starch diets without losing performance When targeted starch can help add expression and power The role of forage in managing energy and condition GUESTS Spike The Vet — equine vet and regular voice on the Feed Room series Louise Jones — equine nutritionist with Red Mills, specialising in performance and metabolic management

Short Summary: Dr. Holly Helbig and Dr. David Levine describe how they use SAA and other biomarkers to spot infection early, guide treatment, support biosecurity, and monitor horses in real time.Landing page copy: Acute phase proteins such as serum amyloid A (SAA) give veterinarians an early look at inflammation, infection, and how a horse responds to treatment. In this Equine Innovators episode, we dig into how SAA and other key biomarkers guide everyday decisions—from biosecurity on busy farms and showgrounds to managing postoperative cases, colic, and foal exams.Host Stephanie Church, editorial director at The Horse, talks with Dr. Holly Helbig of Zoetis and Dr. David Levine from the University of Pennsylvania's New Bolton Center about when they reach for SAA, how it compares with fibrinogen and white blood cell counts, and why serial testing often matters more than any single number. They share stall-side and hospital protocols, real-world case examples, and ways biomarker trends support smarter antimicrobial use and quarantine decisions.In this episode, Drs. Helbig and Levine discuss:What acute phase proteins are and how SAA reflects early inflammation in horsesHow fast SAA and fibrinogen rise and fall, and how that timing shapes testing plansWhen stallside SAA testing shines in ambulatory practice, at horse shows, and on the farmUsing SAA to help sort out joint flares vs. septic joints and guide post-surgical monitoringPractical cutoffs and patterns for foals, including how vaccination and IV plasma affect SAAWhere SAA fits into antimicrobial stewardship and cost-conscious biosecurity strategiesEmerging research and what might come next for biomarkers in equine practiceTune in to hear how two equine veterinarians lean on SAA and other biomarkers to clarify tough calls, support horse owners, and keep diagnostics and treatments on the right track.GUESTS AND LINKS – EPISODE 23:Host: Stephanie L.

Show SummaryNatalie Elliott Handy, a caregiver for her husband and mother and co-host of the Confessions of a Reluctant Caregiver Podcast. During our conversation, we share the commitment that she and her sister have to highlighting and supporting military connected caregivers. Provide FeedbackAs a dedicated member of the audience, we would like to hear from you about the show. Please take a few minutes to share your thoughts about the show in this short feedback survey. By doing so, you will be entered to receive a signed copy of one of our host's three books on military and veteran mental health. About Today's GuestNatalie is someone who genuinely loves people. She has a natural passion for meeting new faces, staying closely connected with family, friends, and colleagues, and, most of all, helping others. Anyone who knows her will readily say, “Natalie doesn't know a stranger.” It's simply who she has always been.Raised in her family's hardware store, Natalie learned early how to engage customers — and how to count change — by talking to everyone who walked through the door. At church, she was the first to volunteer to sing, recite Bible verses in “big church,” and attend every youth activity, especially lock-ins. In school, her teachers often placed her in the front row to help minimize “distractions,” because she was, without a doubt, a social butterfly.Those gifts — her ability to connect, her quick wit, and her desire to support others — naturally led her into leadership roles throughout her career in the mental health field. She married young at 21 and, many years later, again at 39. She often describes her first marriage as a light-hearted “practice run” with someone kind, but not Jason, the partner she shares her life with today.From the outside, Natalie's life looked picture-perfect: a fulfilling job, a loving husband, a close-knit support system, and of course, her beloved dogs. But behind the scenes, she was burning the candle at both ends — working 12-hour days, six days a week, answering every request with, “No problem. Happy to help.”Everything shifted when Jason was diagnosed with cancer in March 2022. In the midst of that crisis, Natalie confronted the truth that she couldn't keep living at that pace. During those darkest moments, she reconnected with her faith and, through that, rediscovered her true self. She learned to acknowledge her imperfections and, more importantly, to love herself fully — flaws and all.Today, Natalie has reordered her life with clear priorities: God, herself, Jason, family and friends, and then work. She says “no” far more often, seeks silver linings in difficult moments, and is grateful for the journey that led her to live God's plan instead of her own. She embraces the mantra of being “perfectly imperfect.”Her mission is simple: to share stories and experiences that inspire, uplift, and — whenever possible — spark a little laughter. She strives to encourage others to be true to themselves while supporting the people they love. And along the way, she fully intends to keep making new friends.Links Mentioned During the EpisodeConfessions of a Reluctant Caregiver Website2024 Heroes Caring for Heroes series2023 Heroes Caring for Heroes seriesPsychArmor Resource of the WeekThis week's PsychArmor Resource of the Week is the PsychArmor course course Understanding the VA for Caregivers.

This is part three of our conversation with Dr Claire St Peter from the University of West Virginia where she is currently the Chair of the Department of Psychology, and Dr Carol Pilgrim, a Professor Emerit in the Psychology Department at the University of North Carolina Wilmington. Dr Pilgrim has received many honors throughout her career including the North Carolina Board of Governors Teaching Excellence Award, the Faculty Scholarship Award, the Chancellor's Teaching Excellence Award, the ABAI Student Committee Outstanding Mentor Award in 2006, and the ABAI Distinguished Service to Behavior Analysis award in 2017. Her research contributions include both basic and applied behavior analysis, with an emphasis in human operant behavior and relational stimulus control. Our subject is for this podcast is stimulus control. In Part 1 Dr. Pilgrim started us out with definitions and an introduction to the subject. She shared the story of Clever Hans, a horse who was said to be able to do complicated math problems. What he really could do was read the very subtle cues his handler and others were giving that told him when he had reached the right answer. In part two we took a deeper into the subject of stimulus control, including a discussion of relational stimulus control. That brought us to the use of models. Dr Pilgrim described the use of models to teach women to do their own breast cancer exams to detect any abnormalities in the very earliest stages. In Part Three we continue with the discussion of simulators as it relates to training riders. I share a story about a riding simulator I got to experience during a visit to the UK. We also talk about why science matters as we describe the use of A/B reversals to develop riding and handling skills.

When you've been building your horse business for a while, it's easy to get stuck in the grind and lose sight of why you started in the first place. In this personal episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes to share the heart behind my own business and why reconnecting with your deeper purpose matters more than ever as you grow.If you've been feeling like your business has lost its spark, this conversation is your reminder that purpose fuels momentum. You'll walk away with three powerful reflection questions to help you re-center and move forward with clarity and renewed energy.Show Notes (also known as “Where to read a quick summary of what we talked about here and get links I mentioned.”) are over at Stormlily.com/195Get on the waitlist for The Business Barn Collective, my new small group coaching program for equestrian entrepreneurs → Stormlily.com/collective
