    Ozone Therapy for the Performance Horse

    Let's "clear the air" on this episode of The Hopeful Has-Been Podcast by talking about Ozone Therapy! I sit down with Jonathon Lowe of O3Vets to debunk myths and talk about the benefits of Ozone Therapy for equine athletes (and our pets too). We discuss:- Common protocols used by horse owners vs protocols used by veterinarians- How the average owner can improve EPM, Lyme, Digestive Issues, infections, & allergies with simple methods of administering ozone therapy at home- How veterinarians are managing intervertebral pain & joint pain by injecting ozone.- How to talk to your vet about ozone therapy- Educational options for learning & becoming certified in ozone therapyThis was a really fun educational episode and I'm glad to have gotten the opportunity to add ozone therapy back into my life and to my therapy practice.For more information on O3Vets, find them on their website, YouTube & Facebook page. They have a ton of studies, instructional videos, and education opportunities.

    Preparing your Horse for Winter using Traditional Chinese Medicine & Acupressure

    "Baby it's cold outside..." In this episode of The Hopeful Has-Been Podcast, Lori Perez returns to teach us all how to thrive in the winter season through the Traditional Chinese Medicine model. Before you can set your horse up for a successful competition season come springtime, we have to first honor the body through the winter.We talk about simple things you can do at home to support the bones, joints, and structure of your horse.... while also supporting the kidney function, adrenals, and mental health of your horse. The Kidney/Bladder meridian is a great place to start learning more about TCM & Acupressure. We also teamed up for a Contest for our followers. Lori talks about a few techniques that any horse owner can do to help their horse and we wanted to give you an incentive to try them out this winter.

    Revisiting Memories: Barrel Racing in the 90's Featuring my Grandma Rita

    On this episode of The Hopeful Has-Been Podcast... I take a stroll down memory lane with my Grandma Rita. We break out our oldest barrel racing photo albums and talk about some of our best memories from our first few years entering the horse industry. We literally started out knowing nothing and got lucky with success. When people ask me about the name of my podcast... It comes from knowing that I'll probably never get to compete on the level I did from 1995-2010. I'll always feel like a Has-Been, but I'm Hopeful to get the opportunity to run barrels again as a hobby rider just enjoying her horse. My goals are very different but I enjoy y'all being on this ride with me. I plan to continue revisiting the past in future episodes and I have some fun guests in mind to bring on here.
