Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Performance Psychology: Managing Nerves and Pressure in the Arena
Q: What's your favorite part of being a sports psychology coach?
Seeing a rider process and apply mental tools in a moment of challenge, and then watching them progress as they realize they can compartmentalize outside stress and still perform well with their horse.
EPM Explained: Causes, Symptoms, Treatment, and Prevention
Q: How reliable are titers in diagnosing EPM, and what improves accuracy?
Titers indicate exposure and antibodies, but are not definitive for disease on their own. A negative titer greatly lowers the likelihood of EPM. Adding a spinal tap increases diagnostic accuracy to about 95% because the spinal fluid titer can be much higher than in blood when the infection is present.
EPM Explained: Causes, Symptoms, Treatment, and Prevention
Q: What exactly causes EPM and how does Sarcocystis neurona infect horses?
There are two known organisms, Sarcocystis neurona and Neurospora neurona, with Sarcocystis neurona being the primary cause in the U.S. The parasite is an intracellular organism that horses ingest; only a small fraction cross the blood-brain barrier to cause neurologic disease.
A Beginner’s Guide to Western Dressage: How It Works, How It’s Judged, and How to Start
Q: What should a beginner focus on to start competing?
Begin with the training wheel and study the directives on the tests, use a reader if needed, and practice straightness and accuracy before moving to throughness and self-carriage; also consider entering real classes like suitability, equitation, and horsemanship to build confidence.
A Beginner’s Guide to Western Dressage: How It Works, How It’s Judged, and How to Start
Q: Can you define exactly what Western Dressage is and how it differs from other forms of dressage?
Western Dressage is a levelized training system that enables a horse of any level to train toward harmony with the rider, usable with or without a trainer, and adaptable to many Western disciplines; it matches dressage-format structure but emphasizes the Western horse, different tack, and Western maneuvers while keeping a consistent test format.
