Read excerpt
In this episode, Steve first talks about some recent experiences with laminitic horses, and then goes on to discuss Degenerative Suspensory Ligament Desmitis - a heartbreaking, currently-incurable condition with apparent genetic links - that results in the fetlock sinking toward the ground and the eventual destruction of the horse.

After some talk (again!) about the plethora of unscientific information constantly being propagated in the horse world, Steve discusses how the common practice of pointing a fan at your horse's stall and/or using fans in the barn aisle don't/doesn't actually provide any significant cooling. Steve goes on to describe how to properly use fans to actually cool a barn - with far fewer fans, electricity usage, and fire risk.
