Welcome back to A Stride Above! In today's episode, we're diving into one of the most crucial topics for horse buyers—pre-purchase examinations. Finding the right horse is challenging enough, but ensuring they're healthy and suited to your program adds another layer of complexity. Join us as we discuss insights from thousands of pre-purchase exams conducted over the years. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why a pre-purchase exam is like taking a snapshot: it provides valuable insight into a horse's current condition but doesn't predict the future. • How to interpret radiographic findings, including common changes in the neck and back, and whether they truly impact performance. • The importance of considering a horse's overall suitability for your program rather, than searching for perfection in x-rays. • Why "pass or fail" no longer applies in modern evaluations and how to approach pre-purchase exams with a team mentality.If you're in the market for a horse or just want to understand more about the process, this episode is packed with must-know information!

As we wrap up season 7, I was honoured to sit down for a conversation with the artist Kim McElroy. As you'll hear in this episode, I met Kim in 2007 through a series of synchronistic events, and was struck by her presence even then. I then had the opportunity to be inspired by her art as I regularly pulled cards from the Way of the Horse, her collaborative deck with Linda Kohanov.  In this episode, timed for the release of her newest collaboration with one of my mentors Sandra Wallin, the Council of Horses Oracle deck, you'll learn about the almost 20 year journey from first inspiration for this deck to this moment, how Kim and Sandra chose which mythical and modern-day horses to include, what it meant to create a lasting legacy for many of the horses and herds included in this deck, and how art can be the deepest expression of essence, energy and emotion. Kim also unveils one of her original works of arts included in the deck, the Mythic Horse, which I've shared on my main podcast page.  This chat was a walk through the past as it caught up with our present, and it was a chance for reflection on what a journey it has been for both of us! Definitely one of my favourite conversations to date, and as you can hear, I love the perks of this job, like being gifted a gorgeous horse oracle deck created by two women I hold very dear. I love the way this deck doesn't tip toe around the tough stuff - and the way Kim continues to be a fierce advocate for the horse.  Kim McElroy has been drawn to horses since childhood, and as soon as she could hold a crayon, this manifested as her art. For more than thirty years, she has been known for her intuitive understanding of the sentient nature of horses and her ability to infuse her art with their spiritual energy. She distills this energy into expressions of the horses' quintessential essence in ways that transcend how they are traditionally defined. Through her incredible mastery of pastels, and her talent in writing about her visionary insights, she conveys the power and beauty of the horse's form—yet more than that, she offers us a timeless glimpse of its soul. Kim is the co-author and illustrator of The Council of Horses, illustrator and co-creator of Way of the Horse: Equine Archetypes for Self-Discovery deck and guidebook by Linda Kohanov, the author and illustrator of the Way of the Horse Journal, and From Heart to Art: A Chronicle of the Experiences, Philosophies, and Inspirations behind the Artwork of Kim McElroy In 2000, Kim and her husband, Rod, created SkyeLandeSea sanctuary in Washington State, where they provided loving forever homes to rescued horses and a menagerie of other animals. Now that their beloved horses have joined the Council, their sanctuary is home to a resident herd of wild but well-fed deer, and two capricious housecats. Kim offers studio tours by appointment.

Today on the podcast, I had Lucie Klaassen back on for the first time since Season 1 (!) and we had a chance to catch up on all the ways her work has evolved since that first conversation.  Lucie's new book, Wired for Connection: Transform your Horse Training with the Polyvagal Principles, just came out over the weekend, and I was excited to ask her about how this new body of work came to be.  Throughout our conversation, Lucie and I discuss how invaluable it is to practice horsemanship through the lens of the nervous system, and she shares several tips on how to incorporate this important framework into your sessions with your horse.  CW: brief mention of depression and suicide between minute 4:30-5:10 of the episode.  Lucie believes certain horses come into your life for a reason. She started to translate everything she had learned about trauma to help her horse Jajão regain trust in humans. Jajão has given Lucie so many lessons and insights about how to deal with trauma in horses. She wrote a book about this, Wired 4 Connection, to spread this knowledge in the most accessible way. Lucie wants to contribute to making this a better, more compassionate world for horses. Lucie is not a therapist; however, she calls herself a specialist in trauma and resilience by experience. As a horse trainer and awareness & mindset coach, it is her passion to empower every horse owner to understand how the autonomic nervous system works, so you can reconnect with your body wisdom and have move more joy and ease in everything you do with your horse. Be sure to pick up a copy of Lucie's book, and let us know what you learn!  Lucie's website: https://trueconnection.lucieklaassen.com    

In this episode I was joined by classical horse trainer Belinda Bolsenbroek for an amazing conversation about the way she merges scientific study with historical, artful ways of partnering with horses.  I had the pleasure of auditing a clinic of Belinda's awhile ago, and it was great to be able to sit down together to talk about her latest work doing equine dissections and the wealth of knowledge she has accrued over her years of being a rider, trainer and horsewoman.  Much of our discussion centred around the many subtle ways in which horses communicate with us, and how by improving our understanding of the nature of these creatures, we can offer them the life they deserve and partner with them in a way that is mutually fulfilling and beneficial.  Belinda Bolsenbroek is an internationally respected coach and a leading figure in classical equitation. With over two decades of experience, she has devoted her life to the art and science of horsemanship, guiding countless individuals toward healthy and meaningful connections with their equine companions. Belinda's philosophy incorporates a lifetime of exploration, research, training, and experience, melding the long-established principles of the old masters with the more recent discoveries of science. This scope of education enables her to provide valuable perspectives and enriching discussions on the vast range of topics that present to the conscientious rider. Belinda's dedication, expertise, and passion for improving the welfare of our equine partners are shared both nationally and internationally through her Academy. Based in Australia, the Academy fosters a supportive international community that brings together industry professionals and amateur riders alike, all sharing the common goal of improving the welfare of horses worldwide.

In this episode of Veterinary Vertex, we discuss neck pain in horses caused by the transposition of the ventral lamina from C6 to C7. Join us as we speak with Dr. Yvette Nout-Lomas, who delves into her team's groundbreaking research. You'll uncover how their interest sparked from real-life clinical cases and led to discovering a higher prevalence of neck pain in warmblood horses with TC67, yet surprisingly no significant connection to lameness or neurologic signs. Yvette also shares the limitations of their retrospective study and the critical need for proper diagnosis to enhance the welfare of our equine friends.In our enlightening discussion, Yvette helps us untangle the often-misunderstood terminology around equine cervical vertebral anatomy, particularly differentiating between morphological variations and malformations. We stress the importance of precise language to better educate both clients and veterinarians. The episode also underscores the necessity for prospective research and well-matched control groups to fully comprehend the health impacts of TC67. Moreover, we delve into the vital role of advanced training and mentorship in propelling equine veterinary research forward. Tune in for a thoughtful exploration of neck pain in horses and its broader implications on their health and behavior.Open access article: https://doi.org/10.2460/javma.24.04.0230INTERESTED IN SUBMITTING YOUR MANUSCRIPT TO JAVMA ® OR AJVR ® ?

This episode with holistic practitioner and classically trained homeopath Julie Anne Lee is absolutely jam packed with digestible, insightful information about the often-mysterious practice of homeopathy and some super helpful facts about remedy usage.   Additionally, we chat about feeding medicinal mushrooms to horses, and how the wisdom of mushrooms matches up beautifully with horses, and Julie shares the intention behind her signature equine-specific probiotic, one of my personal favourtie products.  Whether you've dabbled in using homeopathic remedies with your horses or have never ventured into this healing method, I can guarantee you'll walk away from this discussion with an improved understanding as to how this medicine functions as well as tips for using it effectively. I'm so grateful for Julie's perspective, and to be a proud representative of her brand!  Julie Anne Lee, DCH, RCSHom, has been the owner and practitioner of some of the busiest and long-standing holistic veterinary hospitals and clinics in North America. Graduating from the Vancouver Academy of Homeopathy's 4 year Homeopathic Medicine Program, she has studied with some of the world's leading veterinary homeopaths, including UK veterinarians, Dr. Sue Armstrong, Dr. Mark Elliot, Dr. Peter Gregory and Dr. John Saxton. She then completed a four year program with the British Association of Homeopathic Veterinary Surgeons, BAHVS, where she is now an Associate Member. She also co-founded and taught a three-year post-graduate program to veterinarians in Canada with Dr Sue Armstrong to help bridge the gap between human and animal homeopathic medicine. Julie is now the founder and co-owner of the Adored Beast Apothecary, where she formulates holistic pet care products. She is also a pioneer in studying the animal microbiome and developing protocols for optimizing gut health - all part of a rapidly expanding picture and understanding of the crucial role the microbiome plays in the health of all our animals and ourselves. She's also part of a research and development team examining, producing, and formulating unique, first-in-the-industry species-specific probiotics and functional prebiotics for animals. Currently, Julie is in her fifth year of an extensive research project on canine cancer at Dalhousie University. The research has already led to the filing of a patent on a new manufacturing process and formulation and the publication of two peer-reviewed original research articles. Julie is also doing research and development within her medical mushroom forest, Myco-Biome, in Nova Scotia, Canada. Julie lives in Nova Scotia, Canada, on her rescue farm, Joseph's Field.

Un cheval blessé, c'est souvent un cheval confiné au box ou dans un tout petit paddock... Dans cette espèce, la convalescence s'accompagne malheureusement d'une période de repos forcé, dans des conditions de détention souvent éloignées de des conditions de vie idéales. Dans cet épisode, on évoque donc les choses que l'on peut mettre en place pour améliorer le bien-être de l'animal malgré les fortes contraintes environnementales liées au confinement en box. On parle des enrichissements que l'on peut proposer au cheval convalescent. C'est aussi l'occasion de revenir sur l'importance d'entretenir une relation humain/animal de bonne qualité, particulièrement lorsque des soins vétérinaires sont nécessaires.

It was so great to have Dr. Tracy Rainwaters back on the podcast this week. Tracy reached out to me after listening to my last episode -  Unpacking the impact of burnout and adrenaline poisoning in horses and humans with Lockie Phillips and Elsie Reford (Episode 104) - to express how much that conversation landed for her. As the two of us got to talking, it became clear that she and I have been on a parallel path as of late, navigating serious health events and discovering how to find more sustainable ways forward in our professional lives. We delved into the compassion fatigue and grief that can often accompany us in our role as equine care providers, and how learning to hold space for the hard moments rather than working to “fix” them is an ongoing journey. I was grateful for Tracy's vulnerability in continuing this important discussion, and delighted that we also managed to keep our promise to finally talk about spines!  Mid-way through this podcast we switched gears and Tracy shared how she has come to appreciate the spine as a gateway for health and well-being. It was fascinating to hear how she has woven her shamanic, energetic and spiritual lens into her scientific and chiropractic understanding of this incredibly important structure. I hope this episode is both as supportive and interesting for you as it was for me!  Dr. Tracy Rainwaters is a human and equine chiropractor with over 16 years of experience in helping animals and their humans thrive. Tracy brings a whole-being approach to healing by looking at a being from the perspective of the energetic/spiritual & the mental/ emotional in order to bring harmony & vitality to the physical body. Tracy uses her skills as an intuitive channel to anchor in the wisdom & healing from the highest aspect of a being, along with her shamanic healing techniques to provide a powerful healing container for animals and their humans. Tracy obtained her Bachelors of Science degree in Kinesiology with an emphasis in Exercise Physiology. She obtained her Doctorate in chiropractic from Palmer College of Chiropractic, West and her animal chiropractic certification from Options for Animals where she was on the teaching faculty for 6 years. Tracy's equine practice quickly revealed her animal intuitive abilities as animals started showing her what was occurring energetically and spiritually with themselves and their humans. Horses have been Tracy's greatest teachers and have ushered down her spiritual path. She spent 2 years training in shamanic energy healing with The Four Winds Society. The shamanic healing practices have profoundly influenced and enhanced how she helps animals and humans heal. Tracy offers classes on intuition development & animal communication, 1:1 healing sessions for people & their animals as well as healing workshops on her farm in western Washington that focuses on allowing the horses to be our guides through a journey of transformation using shamanic medicine wheel as the foundation.

Ever since Equine Therapy school I was fascinated with the Element theory from Traditional Chinese Medicine and how it provided a lens to understand horses and their health better, as well as understanding myself. Now, many years later, Susan Tenney of Elemental Acupressure re-kindled this fascination for me and I'm so excited to share this super helpful and interesting understanding with you! In this episode we chatted about how to identify the main element of your horse, the behvioural and personality patterns related, the health implications of their key element and how you can help them to be their most healthy, and how you and your horse's main element combine in the most supportive way. Enjoy! Susan's students and clients say that she positively shines when she works. Her love of animals comes through in everything she does. To illustrate her ideas, Susan can be theatrical – making an idea come alive by panting like a happy dog or drooping her head and sighing like a horse relaxing into a massage. These images stay with students, helping them integrate ancient Chinese Medical concepts into their modern day lives. To Susan, Five Element acupressure for animals is so insightful and powerful that it seems wondrous. She passes on that sense of wonder to her students, clients, and readers. Susan feels strongly that massage and acupressure are for everyone – not just the “experts". This you- can-do-it attitude carries over into her classes where she delights in demystifying Chinese Medicine and Five Element theory. Her deep experience and gentle touch makes her very popular with her students and readers as well as her four-legged clients! Susan teaches the Shiatsu, acupressure and Five Element theory courses.

Much like us, horses experience a variety of stressors in their daily lives. Some more than others. In this week's podcast we tackle the issue of stress and how this impacts our horses health. We also discuss how nutrition plays an important role in helping our horses overcome the stresses they are placed under. While not all stress is bad, for example exercise stress, regardless of source stress impacts our horses in a variety of ways. Thus, we discuss feeding and management strategies to help our beloved animals continue to lead healthy and happy lives.  You can learn more about these topics by visiting our expertise page HERE If you have any questions or concerns about your own horse, please contact us HERE This podcast was brought to you by Tribute Superior Equine Nutrition

In the world of health, there can often be more than one way to approach a problem. Always looking at it from a team approach, but many modalities exist to help form individual health plans. In today’s episode we are going to look into one such modality that has been around for millennium, but which has only recently been formally studied and given a name; Zoopharmacognosy (an animals ability to self select elements to help itself heal). We will be talking with one of the few individuals trained in this, and hopping across the Atlantic to do so. Our guest today is Carly Hillier of Whitethorn Equine Health Ltd of Sligo, Ireland. Carly has been studying Equine Science for decades and became involved with Zoopharmacognosy when she had a difficult case of reoccurring colic in one of her own horses. The results she witnessed were astounding and it has driven her to continually want to find out more and share this knowledge with others. For more information on Carly, check out the website: https://www.whitethornequinehealth.com/ and like and follow her on Facebook and instagram under @whitethornequinehealth. Her retail website is: https://www.whitethornherbals.com/ Our goal with this podcast is to continually open the conversation around equine wellness and bodywork. It is through open conversation that we can grow this industry with knowledge and understanding of our equine partners. Ever evolving along with tried and true methods of horse husbandry, it’s by learning from one another that we will elevate the care of these amazing animals and partners. So don’t be afraid to connect through social media, both Facebook and Instagram @equinebodytalks My co-host, Tina Watkins EST, EEBW3, is the founder of InHand Equine Therapy which strives to improve the lives of horses through equine bodywork.

On this week’s podcast, we talk to Dr. Joyce Harman, a veterinarian practicing in Flint Hill, Virginia, who specializes in equine health. Dr. Harman has been using hemp as a supplement in horses’ diets for nearly 30 years. She began adding hemp seed oil to horses’ diets in the 1990s. She says that the high omega-3 fatty acids and other nutrients in hemp oil are extremely beneficial to the health of horses, especially for skin diseases and immune issues. Now that hemp is legal to produce in the United States, Harman is able to source hemp domestically, and now besides hemp oil, she’s able to supplement horses’ diets with hemp seed too. She is also a proponent of using CBD for equine health, especially in treating horses with PTSD.   We also talk to Scott Bille from Sustainability Now, a group that is petitioning the organizers of Farm Aid to focus on Industrial Hemp at this year’s benefit concert.

You may have noticed that we love having quite different kinds of conversations at "Horses Talk, We Listen" - one that is based on possibilities and not problems! One area that can be perceived as very problematic is horse bodies - in many cases an injury can be considered a life or death choice for a horse... but what if there is a different possibility for and with the bodies of these beautiful animals? In this episode, we have a special guest, Dr. Andrew Gardella, a chiropractor and Access Consciousness Certified Facilitator who has been working on horse (and people and other animal) bodies for a number of years.  He is a facilitator of ESSE - Energetic Synthesis of Structural Embodiment, and will be joining us to talk about about different possibilities with horse bodies that go beyond the mainstream.

They may not be the most popular pet in the United States, numbering 4,856,000 in 2014. They may not fit in our lap but they have a special place in the American heart. Horses have a mystique not matched by any other animal. Man started harnessing the power and grace of horses around 4000 B.C. They have been used for their speed, strength, have been beasts of burden and are hands down fabulous athletes. Caring for them requires a knowledgeable owner teaming with a dedicated veterinarian like my guest Dr. Claudia Sonder, Director of the Center for Equine Health at UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine.
