  • A much needed podcast

    Every episode is packed with useful information! Even if I think a topic doesn’t pertain to my horses, I learn something that does apply somehow. I think this is a “must listen” for all who own or care for horses.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 76: Equine Allergies, Hives & Itchy Skin: What Horse Owners Need to Know
Q: Are allergy tests reliable for diagnosing horse allergies?
There is no single diagnostic test that definitively diagnoses allergies in horses; tests like skin prick or blood IgE testing are best used to guide, not replace, clinical evaluation and must be interpreted with seasonality and clinical signs in mind.
Ep. 76: Equine Allergies, Hives & Itchy Skin: What Horse Owners Need to Know
Q: Why might skin be a major route of sensitization for pollen in horses?
The skin can absorb pollen, especially in atopic individuals with compromised skin barriers, so transcutaneous exposure contributes to sensitization and inflammation, and emphasizes why topical therapies and good skin health are important in management.
Ep. 76: Equine Allergies, Hives & Itchy Skin: What Horse Owners Need to Know
Q: Could you explain what an allergy actually is in horses?
An allergy is an exaggerated immune response to otherwise tolerated triggers, with the allergic pathway often involving IgE antibodies that cause more intense or inappropriate reactions, unlike the normal IgG response—leading to itching and other symptoms when exposed to triggers like pollen or dust.
Ep. 69: Managing Overweight Horses Through Diet, Forage, and Exercise
Q: How do we safely start making adjustments for an overweight horse?
Start by making small adjustments to the diet and exercise regime, ensuring that any changes in forage are done gradually and safely.
Ep. 69: Managing Overweight Horses Through Diet, Forage, and Exercise
Q: Should I be contacting my veterinarian if my horse has fat pads?
Yes, your veterinarian should be your first call if there's a health issue suspected, especially concerning diet and exercise plans.
