E: 100 The Horses That Stay Sound Longer
Send Audrey a Text to get your question answered on the show
Today, we are talking about longevity. About what it actually takes to build a horse that ages well. About why some horses peak later instead of declining earlier. And about what owners who have these horses did differently -- not just in their senior years, but years before anyone was thinking about senior years.
Because the horses that stay sound longer? They usually aren't lucky. They're built that way. And it starts way earlier than most people think.

E: 99 The Feed Room Is Creating Half the Problems
Send Audrey a Text to get your question answered on the show
Walk into the average horse barn and tell me what you see in the feed room.
Bags of complete feed. Probably a senior formula. Maybe a ration balancer sitting next to a fat supplement sitting next to a joint supplement sitting next to a hoof supplement sitting next to something for ulcers. And somewhere in the back, a bucket of electrolytes that nobody's really sure if they still need.
And the horse? Still ouchy. Still slow to recover. Still metabolically weird...
E:98 When Did We Decide Horses Falling Apart Was Normal?
Send Audrey a Text to get your question answered on the show
The horse industry has a dirty little secret.
We’ve been calling deterioration a care plan.
Joint injections at ten. Ulcers at seven. Behavioral issues blamed on attitude. Topline disappearing despite a full feed room. And everyone just… nods along. Like this is fine. Like this is just what horses do.
It’s not fine. And it’s not inevitable. And today we are going to talk about why.

E: 97 Why Your Horse Isn't Absorbing Vitamin E — Even at 8,000–10,000 IU
Send Audrey a Text to get your question answered on the show
Why isn't my horse absorbing vitamin E? In this episode, we cover the difference between natural d-alpha-tocopherol and synthetic dl-alpha-tocopherol, why horses on hay are almost always starting from deficiency, how oxidative stress from iron overload, high-PUFA fats, and inflammation depletes vitamin E faster than you can replace it, and how to actually troubleshoot non-response.

E: 97 Light as a Biological Signal: What It Means for You and Your Horse
Send Audrey a Text to get your question answered on the show
Light is one of the most overlooked inputs in both human and equine health—and it may be one of the most impactful.
We spend so much time focusing on nutrition, supplements, and protocols… but the body responds to its environment first. And light is a primary signal that helps regulate circadian rhythm, hormone patterns, energy production, and nervous system balance.
In this episode, I sit down with the creator of Visum Light to explore how targeted light exposure can support the...
E: 96 He Was Already on a Forage-Based Diet… So Why Wasn’t He Improving?
Send Audrey a Text to get your question answered on the show
If your horse is already on a forage-based, low inflammatory feeding program and you’re still not seeing the changes you expected… you’re not alone.
In this episode, we walk through a common scenario: a horse on a well-structured nutrition program that still appears “stuck.” Instead of immediately changing the feed or adding more supplements, we explore another layer—how feeding strategy, daily routine, and overall management can influence how a horse utilizes nutrition.
This episode focuses on four key areas to rev...

Circadian Rhythm in Horses: The Missing Link in Metabolic Health, Insulin Resistance & Weight Loss
Send Audrey a Text to get your question answered on the show
If your horse is on the “perfect” program — low sugar, balanced minerals, anti-inflammatory diet — but still struggling with weight, insulin resistance, or metabolic issues… you may be missing one critical piece:
Circadian rhythm.
In this episode, we break down how light — specifically timing of light exposure — acts as a primary regulator of metabolism.
Human research shows that delaying morning light exposure is associated with higher body fat, independent of diet and exercise. And horses, as highly light-sensitive, seasonal anima...

E: 92 Soy as a Feed Ingredient and Protein Info You Need to Hear
Send Audrey a Text to get your question answered on the show
Recently there was some push back around soy as an ingredient and more over as an amino acid requirement in feed and or ration balancers. The good ol “show me the scientific evidence” came right out. So lets talk about soy as an ingredient and why it matters even for horses that don’t have a direct sensitivity or allergy for soy. Today we will talk through a few different aspects including soys anti-nutrient properties, glyphosate issues, and the all important “what about amino acids then?” ...
E: 91 The Great Magnesium Debate
Send Audrey a Text to get your question answered on the show
There is a lot of confusion in the magnesium space. Which form is better? What is all of this elemental magnesium talk?
Here’s the scoop, claims that magnesium oxide is better are based on misinterpreted comparisons, typically magnesium oxide vs magnesium citrate, and/or on something called elemental magnesium content, rather than true bioavailability.
And here’s a hint, when you evaluate magnesium types using mineral physiology principles and broader magnesium literature, these claims are not supported.

Enteroliths: The Stone Nobody Sees Coming – And Why Minerals, Acid & Energy Matter More Than You’ve Been Told
Enteroliths.
Those massive mineral stones that form silently in the horse’s colon and suddenly show up as an emergency colic, surgery, or worse — euthanasia.
Most vets will tell you they’re random.
Idiopathic.
Unpredictable.
But I don’t believe in random disease processes.
And if you’ve been following me for any length of time — neither do you.

Farriers are consistently the first people to spot chronic health issues in horses because mysterious hoof problems like persistent thrush, crumbling AND cracking hoof walls, abscess cycles, and white line disease aren't actually hoof problems at all, they're external symptoms of internal inflammatory chaos that's compromising the body's ability to build healthy tissue from the inside out.
