EP 20: Equine Lameness for the Layman

Equine Lameness for the Layman

Is he off? He feels a little offfffff.

Our guest this week is Dr. Bob Grisel, DVM, an equine lameness specialist and author of the book, Equine Lameness for the Layman; a must-have book for any serious horseman’s library. With a helpful glossary of technical terms, lots of illustrations, and the brilliant use of QR codes and videos that complement specific sections of text, you will really appreciate the in-depth knowledge that Dr. Grisel’s book literally puts in your lap.

“It’s very, very, rare that you would see a horse just decide they want to be naughty under saddle when otherwise they’ve been fine.”

We talk with Dr. Grisel in this episode about ways in which we can better observe our horses to catch lameness issues as early as possible, which can help us actually improve our horses’ long term health, soundness, and wellbeing.

Dr. Grisel helps Helena with some next steps as she endeavors to find out what’s making her new TB mare shake her head and trip behind. Listen in!

EP 3: A Horse Solarium Fit for the Queen

Wouldn’t it be nice to curry, brush, and tack up in a grooming stall that was warm in the winter? Your horse would appreciate a warm back just as much as you would appreciate warm hands and toes as you hop in the tack for a brisk winter workout. And don’t forget all the bennies from increased O2 to joints and muscles, thanks to low-level laser light solariums from Drimee.

Our guest in this episode is Mark Whitworth, president of Drimee Ltd., manufacturer of stainless steel horse solariums for barns of all sizes. What’s a SOLARIUM you ask? Well, that’s easy. It’s the English way of saying “sunlamp”! Actually, it’s much more than that. The Drimee solariums provide more than just welcomed light in winter. These brilliantly designed infrared light systems provide therapeutic support for equine joints and muscles year round, while also creating a safe and warm micro-climate in the winter and an effective cooling system in the summer. Listen in to our chat with Mark and let’s more about these innovative gadgets together!
