Are Drugs And Machines Necessary To Float Horse Teeth? - The Horse's Advocate Podcast #185 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Since 1983, I have seen horse dentistry shift from hand-floating, done without medication or machines, to a mechanical approach using sedation and motorized tools to remove sharp enamel edges. My main argument is that these newer procedures are not proven to achieve better outcomes, yet are often promoted based on arbitrary goals. As a result, horse owners may become confused or exposed to unnecessary techniques that may not benefit their horses. Listeners may react strongly to this podcast beca
How Does Energy Flow Make Your Horse Unhealthy? - The Horse's Advocate Podcast #184 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the last podcast (#183 - How Does Energy Flow Keep Your Horse Alive And Healthy?), the energy potential of the cell is its ability to perform all necessary functions, which was the product of supply (energy flow) and demand (energy resistance). The "sweet spot" for the supply and demand is regulated by the individual.

At a cell level, every cell has a function that requires energy: muscles contracting or the brain thinking. In addition,
How Helpful Are Vitamins and Supplements For Our Horses? - The Horse's Advocate Podcast #182 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are two ways to provide vitamins, minerals, and amino acids to your horse: through factories or nature. In this episode, I discuss how horses obtain these nutrients naturally and where natural sources fall short. I also explore the production of these nutrients in laboratories and factories. I spend some time looking at where using man-made materials is required due to the environments in which horses live. For example, horses grazing large fields of fresh green grass undoubtedly have diff
Marketing and the Funding Of Science - Reasons Why Horses Are More Sick, Not Less - #181 The Horse's Advocate Podcast (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My mailbox and inbox get a never-ending stream of advertisements, all promising that my horse will become free of disease or super-athletic. Some boast scientific research backing their claims, while others have endorsements from winning contestants. All use the time-tested formula of identifying a condition your horse might have, then claiming their product will resolve it. But is any of it true? I will review some advertisements sent to my mailbox and guide you through the essential questions
