I think this was the most informative podcast yet. This episode does a fantastic job of identifying anatomical parts and how, when injured, directly affect function. It also addressed a plethora of medical issues and shared specific behaviors/signs to look for.
After the podcast ,I started thinking about how important it is to spread the word to existing and future vets. As a horse owner and non vet, I am limited as to the treatment I can give. We need more Audrey’s as she is only one person and can’t help everyone. If we could only close her!
Typo in previous post. I meant to say “if only we could clone her”.
Omgosh! I so wish you were my vet! These are amazing pod casts! You’ve just given me some tools to re-evaluate my horses… with a different perspective! THANK YOU!!!
And yes! I have experienced body lameness with my own horses… But didn’t have the “word” or thought process to look at it… I have been empowered now to do and think better of where the lameness is coming from…
