  • A technical horse owners dream!

Dr. Lacher aligns with the ways that my vet treats my horse and provides such great explanations to questions I didn’t even know I had!

  • Every Horse Lover NEEDS this podcast…it’s the best rabbit hole around!

    I discovered Dr. Lacher and Justin Long’s huge stash of wonderfully educational and fun horse centric podcasts just a few weeks ago. I haven’t listened to anything else since. This lifelong horse girl has learned so much from this content that I can say that they’ve certainly succeeded at their goal of making the world a better place for horses…

    Smart, but plain language, technical, but just enough for appropriate application, real world information, a lot I did not even know I needed, and alway... more

  • Awesome info

    Your podcast helped me to diagnose and treat my horses sweet itch! Her entire chest became open sores and once I nailed down what to do, we now have it under control. I tell all my friends about your podcast and share it to them. Wound care, general info, joints, it’s all great! I am also in Florida so your remarks on our weather and special influences here help me very much. I would love to hear a podcast on what vets do to narrow down β€œmystery lameness”!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S9E15 The Routine Exam
Q: When should vaccines be adjusted due to temperature or environmental factors?
If the horse has a high fever or is a non-sweater, vaccines may be delayed or adjusted to different vaccines and schedules to ensure efficacy and safety, with a focus on encephalitis and other core vaccines.
S9E15 The Routine Exam
Q: What makes the routine exam so valuable beyond a quick vaccine check?
It provides a structured, owner-inclusive opportunity to assess environment, nutrition, and subtle health cues, which allows proactive changes such as adjusting bedding, water access, and farrier schedules to prevent problems.
S9E14 FRVN w Dr. Leigh Mack
Q: What is something animal owners can do better in a crisis, based on your experience as a first responder?
Don't place a dog between you and the steering wheel during a crash because airbags can injure or crush the animal; instead, position the animal safely and keep the owner informed, while the veterinary team stabilizes the patient.
S9E11 Dental Care for the Stages of Life
Q: Why is it important to not rush removing baby teeth, like wolf teeth or caps?
Removing a baby tooth too early can leave an unsealed blood vessel and create infection risk; timing matters to let the tooth shed naturally when ready to avoid complications.
S9E11 Dental Care for the Stages of Life
Q: Tell me about number nine and why it matters.
Number nine is the first molar on the upper jaw and the tooth that has the longest potential to cause problems later in life, so it's a critical one to monitor in yearlings and young horses.
