91: Early Warning Signs of Toxicity: What Your Horse is Trying to Tell You

Healing Horses with Elisha

We're talking about toxicity today.I've been seeing several cases lately where toxicity plays a role, so I thought it was time to revisit the topic. In episode 53, I covered the definition of toxicity and what it means for your horse, so you can go back and listen to it after this episode for more details. Stay tuned as I share the signs to look out for.Understanding Toxicity in HorsesToxicity in horses often develops slowly and subtly through accumulated exposure to feed contaminants, environmental chemicals, medications, or poor-quality diets. Unlike sudden poisoning, this buildup can take years to show outwardly. Younger horses may appear healthy despite ongoing exposure, but as they age, resilience drops and health issues surface, usually from around age 12 onward.Early Warning SignsSubtle behavioral and physical changes often signal toxicity. These can include fatigue, dull eyes, reduced social engagement, depression, or anxiety. Appetite changes are also key clues- horses that suddenly become picky or disinterested in food may be reacting to gut irritation or inflammation. Paying attention to these small shifts helps catch toxicity before it escalates.Behavior and the Nervous SystemToxicity can impact the nervous system, leading to high anxiety and nervousness. While horsemanship helps build horses' confidence, chronic anxiety can point to underlying health issues or an internal imbalance. Ulcers and overactive immunity often accompany this state, as pain and inflammation trigger more stress in a self-perpetuating cycle.Inflammation Inflammation is one of the most common consequences of toxicity. It often presents as laminitis or joint stiffness, even when blood work looks normal. Laminitis is particularly revealing as hoof tissues react early to systemic inflammation. Many arthritic horses may actually be struggling with toxic buildup rather than structural degeneration, and they often improve after detoxification.The LiverThe liver detoxifies all chemicals entering the body, but chronic overload eventually leads to fatigue and dysfunction. As detoxification slows, toxins accumulate, affecting hormone balance, immune strength, and overall vitality. So, even when liver enzymes appear normal, the liver may still be under strain.The Gut–Toxicity ConnectionGut health is often the first to suffer. Long-term exposure to irritants, sugars, or intolerant feeds leads to inflammation, leaky gut, and cecal acidosis. A damaged intestinal lining allows toxins to circulate through the body, causing hives, laminitis, or chronic infections. Gut inflammation also prevents nutrient absorption.Nutrient DeficiencyToxicity compounds over time. Horses with chronic gut irritation or sugar-heavy diets often experience nutrient depletion because their inflamed intestines cannot absorb key minerals and vitamins. Common Physical SignsVisible indicators include dull or coarse coats, cracking or separating hooves, weepy eyes (often linked to liver dysfunction), nasal discharge, and reduced energy. These may seem mild or age-related, but they could reflect systemic imbalance from long-term toxicity.Reversing the EffectsImprovement begins with removing toxins from feed, water, and the environment. Cleaning up the diet allows the liver, kidneys, and gut to recover. Even older horses can regain their vitality after reducing their toxicity and with good nutrition.Long-Term PreventionReducing toxicity is one of the most effective ways to prevent disease. By being mindful of feed quality, ingredient lists, and exposure sources, owners can dramatically improve their horses' health spans and overall...

I am excited to welcome Jessica Fobert as my guest today!Over the past decade, Jessica and I have worked together on many challenging cases, and I have come to value her input as a trusted second opinion for my clients. She is a hoof care practitioner and lifelong horse lover, registered with both the Canadian Equine Hoof Care Association and Progressive Hoof Care Practitioners. She and her business partner, Natalie, run a rehab facility in Toddham, Ontario, where they take on the toughest of cases. Join us as Jessica dives into the critical work she does at the rehab, debunking common trimming myths and highlighting the crucial importance of proper hoof care.Many Cases Go UndiagnosedOwners and professionals alike should be vigilant and proactive, as subclinical laminitis often goes unnoticed. Many horses can have inflammation without full-blown laminitic episodes, and even minor hoof distortion, recurring abscesses, or poor posture may be early signs. Inflammation Hoof inflammation starts before any rotation or visible damage occurs. It typically results from systemic stress, poor nutrition, or mechanical imbalance. While X-rays may not reveal early changes, heat, soreness, gait alterations, or behavioral changes can indicate trouble brewing inside the foot.Movement and Circulation Stabling a sore horse may seem protective, but confinement reduces circulation and delays healing. Movement is crucial to restoring hoof health. Gentle, controlled exercise within the comfort zone of the horse, often with the help of boots, can significantly improve blood flow and tissue regeneration.BootsBoots help reduce inflammation and promote healing, allowing sore horses to move more comfortably. However, they are not a permanent solution. Avoid Over-trimming Trimming should preserve the sole and reduce leverage without forcing the foot into an artificial shape. Over-trimming or removing too much sole worsens instability.Be Cautious with Certain TreatmentsCorrosive thrush treatments may kill bacteria but can also damage live tissue, making reinfection more likely. Non-corrosive antimicrobials can restore microbial balance without damaging sensitive tissue, soothing the foot, and helping to reset its microbial environment. Consistency and gentle application are the key.Gut Health Thrush and white line disease can recur when gut health is compromised. High-sugar, high-starch diets fuel inflammation and weaken hoof tissue from the inside. Horses fed low-NSC diets will often show rapid hoof improvement. In some cases, long-standing issues like contracted heels and white line disease will resolve completely within months of a diet change.Lasting ChangeLasting hoof changes must be supported from the inside, as no trim can undo the effects of a poor diet. Contracted heels, long toes, and weak hoof structures are often diet-driven. Even horses that have been trimmed carefully for years may not improve until their processed feeds get replaced with low-sugar alternatives. The Power of MovementMovement is essential for healing hooves. Even sore horses should be allowed to move freely within their comfort range. Boots can encourage movement, reducing pain and enabling gradual increases in circulation and use. Metal ShoesMetal shoes may provide instant relief for some horses. However, they increase concussion and vibration, which can worsen laminitic damage over time. Whenever possible, barefoot is ideal, but there are situations where temporary shoeing provides a helpful bridge.Euthanasia Is a Complex DecisionFor owners facing the possibility of euthanasia

76: Sugar isn't the only cause of laminitis - here are some others

This week, we explore some key contributors to laminitis, other than grass, that every horse owner should be aware of.In the last episode, we discussed sugar-induced laminitis and why spring grass can be a big concern for many horse owners. However, sugar is not the only factor that can trigger laminitis, and owners need to understand the broader range of potential causes.A Whole-Body IssueLaminitis is inflammation of the lamina. It is often a reflection of systemic inflammation and not just a foot problem. Inflammation, especially when chronic, can damage tissues and affect many parts of the body before appearing in the hooves. Laminitis is often a symptom of deeper, unresolved health issues.Stress and Emotional TriggersStress is the primary cause of inflammation in horses. Emotional stress resulting from the loss of a pasture mate, a new environment, or changes in the herd can lead to laminitic episodes. Chronic stress raises cortisol, increases blood sugar, and suppresses the immune system, which is particularly dangerous for insulin-resistant horses. Supporting horses through emotional changes and acknowledging their grief is essential, as horses feel things deeply, and unaddressed stress can lead to significant health issues.The Role of Gut ToxicityGut health links closely to laminitis, especially in horses with insulin resistance or metabolic syndrome. A compromised gut, often caused by poor diet or chronic inflammation, can lead to a leaky gut, which allows toxins to enter the bloodstream, creating systemic inflammation. Removing inflammatory ingredients such as processed feeds, preservatives, and vegetable oils from the diet can significantly improve hoof health. Owners should look for food sensitivities, even to common ingredients like flax, and consider rotating feeds and supplements to reduce the risk of intolerance.Hidden Causes in the Diet Some horses are more sensitive to ingredients than others. So, an ingredient that is safe for most horses might be causing your horse inflammation. If your horse is not improving despite a low-sugar diet, look at everything it eats. Supplements cannot offset food intolerances. So, if your horse is reacting to something in its diet, the only solution is to remove that item.Medication, Liver Load, and ToxicityLong-term use of medications, exposure to chemicals, commercial feeds, and over-vaccination can compromise liver function. When the liver becomes overwhelmed, toxins tend to build up, and the immune system responds with inflammation. To reduce the inflammation, focus on supporting detoxification and reducing the overall toxic load. Chronic inflammation can lead to further issues like Cushing's disease if not addressed early.Vaccination ConsiderationsVaccines can trigger inflammatory responses, especially in horses already dealing with laminitis or metabolic challenges. Inflammation from vaccines may not appear immediately, but it can cause issues in the weeks that follow. For sensitive horses, particularly those with compromised immune systems or high toxicity levels, vaccinations should be approached with care. Work with your vet to determine what is necessary, how to support your horse through the process, and when it might be best to delay or avoid certain vaccines.Final ThoughtIf your horse is struggling with chronic laminitis and nothing seems to help, it may be time to look beyond sugar and hoof care. Evaluate every part of its lifestyle, including emotional health, gut health, diet, medications, and vaccination history. Links and resources:Connect with Elisha Edwards on her website Join my

75: 3-Step Action Plan for Sugar-induced Laminitis

Healing Horses with Elisha

Today, we are tackling the topic of laminitis and exploring those early-stage situations where your horse begins to show signs of soreness and tenderness.What we focus on today does not include the more mechanical cases of founder laminitis but rather horses that tend to become sugar-sensitive as the grass begins to turn green in spring. Recognizing Sugar Sensitivity in HorsesSome horses become sore or tender as soon as lush spring grass appears. It is often due to sugar sensitivity, and these horses may also be insulin resistant. Insulin resistance can present as swelling in the eyes, sheath, udders, lower limbs, or a general puffiness in the body. It is not always related to obvious hoof problems but often reflects a broader systemic reaction to dietary sugar.Real-Life ExampleAt the facility I manage, several horses broke into a lush pasture and soon showed signs of swelling and tenderness despite us urging them to move. Even horses that were not usually at risk began showing symptoms. That highlighted just how quickly sugar overload can tip the balance and why it is crucial to act early.Step 1: Reduce SugarsThe first step in managing sugar-induced laminitis is reducing sugar intake, especially from grass. Some horses can tolerate limited pasture, while others may not. Create dry lots, use fencing or panels to limit access, and have your hay sugar levels analyzed. Watch out for feeds containing molasses, vegetable oils, preservatives, and other additives that may spike insulin and cause inflammation.Step 2: Encourage MovementExercise is critical. Even when a horse is sore, movement helps lower insulin, burn sugar, and reduce inflammation. It can be as simple as walking, ponying, or hand-jogging. Any movement counts, even 20 extra minutes a few times a week. For horses not currently ridden, gentle groundwork or hand-walking is enough to make a meaningful difference.Step 3: Add Supportive Footwear When NeededHoof boots with padding can help to relieve pain and make movement possible for horses in extreme pain. Movement is essential for healing, so boots are a helpful short-term solution to get your horse comfortable enough to walk. Creative options, like diapers or duct tape, can also work until you find a better solution.When It Is More Than Just SugarIf you have reduced sugar and increased movement, and your horse is still inflamed or tender, you may be dealing with more than just dietary sugar overload. Persistent fat pads, a crested neck, and excessive thirst and urination can point to deeper insulin resistance. Every Horse is UniqueHorses respond differently to diet and management. While some thrive on pasture combined with regular movement, others may continue to struggle, even when their sugar intake gets reduced and they exercise enough. Factors like breed, history, and individual constitution can influence their response. If you are following best practices but not seeing progress, you may need to explore deeper metabolic factors and consider targeted nutritional and organ support.Final ThoughtThe sooner you become aware of early signs of sugar sensitivity and act on them, the better. Reducing sugar, increasing exercise, and providing hoof support when needed can make all the difference. If those measures are not enough, there is still hope, as most horses can regain their balance and comfort with the appropriate nutritional and metabolic support.Links and resources:Connect with Elisha Edwards on her website Join my

Her pelvis was torched, causing her toes to point to the side.• Tell the story when Dr. Haussler examined Rock when he got Laminitis. He expected Rock's spine to be irregularly bent from his ears to his tail, but it wasn't. This was due to the Postural Core Leading exercises he had been doing for months• As we age, we are more vulnerable to arthritis, bone injuries, and joint injuries if we do not continually “practice” good posture.• Treat ailments with natural methods and avoid drugs and surgeries whenever possible.• Have regular team checkups with the vet, chiropractor and massage therapist for good health.• Make sure exercise is appropriate for performance and not overdone.• Excessive exercise (drilling) does nothing more than exhaust the body in any living being. Increased performance and ability is then inhibited and not enhanced.• Therapy equines can do a better job when they are in good posture.• Saddle mules are less likely to take missteps and put you at risk on the trail.• Driving equines are less likely to have their bodies compromised and will gain longevity of use.• Healthy feeding and exercise can prevent obesity and other related problems...less vet costs and nearly no incidence of colic and founder.• Organs in the body are able to function in a healthy manner.• Riders are less likely to experience losses of balance, vertigo, and falls.• Overall performance in both equine and riders is enhanced.Mule Talk is an Every Cowgirl's Dream production - www.EveryCowgirlsDream.Com www.MuleTalk.Net Meredith Hodges Interviews: www.LuckyThreeRanch.Com/Podcast-Appearances/

Why is your sport horse not performing at its best? In this insightful round table discussion, Dr. Mike Pownall and the veterinary team at McKee-Pownall break down the multi-layered causes of poor performance in equine athletes. From subtle lameness and dental pain to ulcers and metabolic disease, this episode explores the interconnected systems that influence your horse's health and rideability.Joined by Drs. Esther Millares, Natalie Sanza, and Katelyn McNicol—with lead vet assistant Karen Foell—this episode emphasizes the importance of early detection, diagnostic precision, and a collaborative care approach. Whether you're a competitive rider, trainer, or passionate owner, this episode will change the way you think about what's really going on when your horse feels “off.”Timestamps00:00 – Welcome to the EquiConnect Podcast01:20 – Why poor performance isn't just lameness03:00 – Most common causes of lameness in sport horses05:20 – When it's not the limbs: other sources of poor performance07:00 – Dental health: the missing link in equine performance09:15 – Signs of dental pain and behavioural clues11:00 – How often should your horse's teeth be checked?12:30 – Bit-related injuries and overlooked oral discomfort13:00 – Gastric ulcers: pain, behavior, and underperformance15:00 – Why diagnosis matters before treatment17:30 – Preventing ulcers through diet, stress reduction, and training plans20:00 – Understanding metabolic disease: EMS and Cushing's23:30 – Preventing laminitis and managing metabolic horses25:00 – Myths that delay proper care27:00 – Supplements, shoeing, and the importance of diagnostics30:00 – New tools: regenerative therapies and smarter supplements32:00 – The power of teamwork: vet, farrier, body worker, nutritionist33:00 – Final thoughts and takeawaysQuotes“Believing a stiff horse is just naughty is like blaming your car for being slow when the tires are flat.” – Dr. Esther​ Millares“Dental pain can be constant and invisible—but it affects everything from eating to contact under saddle.” – Dr. Katelyn McNichol“Gastric ulcers don't just hurt—they change your horse's entire mindset.” – Dr. Natalie ​Sanza“Education and empathy—not judgment—are how we improve sport horse care.” – Dr. Esther​Millares“Diagnosis isn't just a step—it's the foundation for treatment that works.” – Dr. Natalie​ SanzaKey Takeaways & ResourcesDiagnosing Poor PerformancePoor performance is rarely caused by a single issue. Often, subtle lameness, gastric discomfort, dental problems, and metabolic disorders overlap.Know your horse's “normal.” Behavioural changes are often the first clue.Dental HealthSubtle dental pain may show up as training resistance, chewing abnormalities, or changes in body condition.Annual dental exams are essential; some horses benefit from 6–9 month intervals.Gastric UlcersUlcers cause both physical and behavioural symptoms and are common in sport horses.Gastroscopy is the gold standard for diagnosis and should guide tailored treatment plans.Management includes low-stress environments, frequent hay access, and limited high-intensity work.Metabolic ConditionsEquine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS) and Cushing's Disease (PPID) can impact energy, recovery, and condition.Laminitis prevention starts with early diagnosis, diet changes, and consistent exercise.Advanced TherapiesTools like stem cell therapy, PRP, and IRAP are extending equine careers and targeting healing.Collaborative...
