In this episode of Doc Talks, Doc Brian sits down with Meggan Hill-McQueeney. Meggan is the current President and COO of BraveHearts Therapeutic Riding and Educational Center. In August 1993, while waiting to be discharged from the hospital after what she thought was a routine surgery, Marge Tautkus Gunnar learned that she had ovarian cancer. The ensuing months of chemotherapy were long, difficult, and completely life altering. During the course of her treatment, Marge not only derived courage and strength from the love and devotion of family and friends, but also from the deep and soulful connection she had to her Lipizzan stallion, Neapolitano IV Farica (Max). “One day when feeling particularly depressed, my sister bundled me into the car and we headed to the barn. When I entered Max's stall, he looked at me with large soft eyes that seemed to question ‘Where have you been?' I threw my arms around his neck, buried my face in his mane and sobbed. Max wrapped his neck around me and squeezed. I felt that connection between us was so powerful, I knew that Max was one of the reasons I had to get well. Although I didn't know it at the time, it was then that the seed for BraveHearts was sown.”   Listen to this episode to hear how BraveHearts uses horses to help Vets learn PTSD coping skills inadvertently while training horses.   You can find more info on BraveHearts at www.braveheartsriding.org   You can find Doc Brian at:  Twitter: talksdoc https://www.facebook.com/doctalkswithdocb https://www.instagram.com/doctalkswithdocb/ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/doc-talks-with-dr-brian-sheppard/id1536345675 https://open.spotify.com/show/1qSaIZ2lsOKDtL4ueox7FY https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6prIruH_Izrrx-0MWqJm9w/ https://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=586625&refid=stpr https://www.deezer.com/show/1941482

Elise’s guest today is Elizabeth Letts, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of several novels and two phenomenal horse books: The Eighty-Dollar Champion, which was the winner of the 2012 Daniel P Lenehan Award for Media Excellence from the United States Equestrian Foundation; and The Perfect Horse, which won the 2017 PEN Literary Award for Research Nonfiction.   The Eighty-Dollar Champion chronicles the inspiring, true story of destitute immigrant Harry DeLeyer and Snowman, the slaughter-bound plow horse he rescued. Together, Harry and Snowman won post World War II America’s heart by climbing in two short years to the very top of the elite world of show jumping. This beloved pair later appeared on TV shows, the cover of Life magazine, and traveled the world together, giving exhibitions and meeting their devoted fans. Elizabeth’s book, The Perfect Horse, shares the gripping World War II behind-enemy-lines, true story of a small troop of battle-weary American soldiers saving priceless Lipizzan stallions from imminent death. As a lifelong equestrian, Pony Club graduate, and phenomenally gifted writer, Elizabeth is the ideal person to tell these two amazing stories. So compelling are they – and so beautifully written – that these books are a treat for horse lovers and non-horse lovers alike. In this episode, Elizabeth recounts her days writing both books and shares the stories Harry told her about himself and Snowman, the pivotal moments in his life, what it was like interviewing him, and how he described his own relationship with Snowman and what it meant to him. Elizabeth also gives a quick sneak preview of two of her upcoming books!   Topics of Discussion: [:19] About Elise’s guest today, Elizabeth Letts.

In today's podcast we hear there's a new catphish out in the wild: meet Mia Ash. WikiLeaks throws shade by dumping UMBRAGE from Vault7. Germany braces for hacking by Russia, China, and Iran—especially by Russia. Google kicks unwelcome intercept tool Lipizzan out of the PlayStore. WhatsApp scammers phish for banking credentials. Business disruption kills small businesses in ransomware attacks, not the ransom itself. Facebook makes a plea for culture change. Ben Yelin from UMD CHHS on allegations the FBI was paying the Geek Squad to ferret out illegal content on computers brought in for service. Neill Feather from SiteLock dispells the notion that small businesses can rely on security by obscurity. And there are enough anti-drone products out there to make Wyle E. Coyote max out his Acme loyalty card.

The Carousel Room owes its name to the large oil painting hanging on the left. It depicts the Ladies‘ Carousel held by Maria Theresa in the Winter Riding School of the Hofburg in 1743 to mark the recapturing of Prague in the War of the Austrian Succession. This Winter Riding School, today known as the Spanish Riding School, is still the setting for performances by the famous Lipizzan stallions. Here Maria Theresa rides on a Lipizzaner at the centre of the picture, followed by her ladies-in-waiting. To the left is a portrait of Maria Theresa’s father, Emperor Charles VI, wearing a sumptuous Spanish coat-dress. www.schoenbrunn.at | Download Tour-Guide (PDF)© by Schloß Schönbrunn Kultur- und Betriebsges.m.b.H.

Join co-hosts Gabriella Castillo and Christianna Capra on Sunday, June 16th for a special segment of Animal Matters Radio at 7pm PDT. Janice Wolfe, co-author of THERE'S HOPE (Four Essentials to a Stable Dog), and founder of MERLIN's KIDS, is also a cancer survivor. She had long searched for a reason why she survived while so many others did not. As a result, she has dedicated herself to helping to provide and train service animals for special needs individuals. Merlin’s Kids is named after Janice's special white Lipizzan stallion, whose magnificent stature and gentle, nurturing manner, changed many lives. His love of children and compassion for those in fear or in pain made him a truly unique horse. True, he was “just a horse” to those who did not know him, but the power of animals to touch those in need, is well-documented and is recognized by many to give hope to the hopeless. www.merlinskids.org
