April's distance reading flagged viral and bacterial issues and asked if Ralph had ever been tested for EPM. Joni took him to an EPM specialist who confirmed the diagnosis.  April also identified first rib misalignment driving the hocks too close together, cranial compression affecting his TMJ and dental patterns, and explains why his hooks and waves keep coming back on the same side every six months.  Joni is enrolled in Level 1: Equine Musculoskeletal Unwinding, shares what the distance reading experience was like, and what it means to finally have answers that actually connect the dots.

    Useful, Helpful Tips & Tricks for Horse Care

    Have a question you'd like April to answer on the show? Send us a text! "What would you do if your horse was limping, colicking, or spooking—and no one could tell you why?” That question lit a fire in April Love that would grow into a global mission: helping horse owners uncover the root causes of mystery lameness, behavioral issues, and chronic pain that traditional methods often miss. Recently, April joined Kimberley on The Backyard Horse Enthusiast podcast to share her journey, from early passion and endurance riding to developing the revolutionary bodywork system that is now Holistic Horseworks. What makes April’s approach unique is that she teaches horse owners how to become their horse’s best healer. Through hands-on clinics, online home study courses, and a growing archive of over 200 YouTube videos and bite-sized podcasts, April shares techniques that work—because they’re based on real results over decades of experience. From resolving Uveitis without surgery, to transforming behavioral “problem horses” into calm companions, April’s stories are more than anecdotes—they’re evidence of what’s possible when we support the body’s ability to heal itself. And the best part? You don’t need to be a vet, trainer, or therapist. You just need the right tools, a little guidance—and a deep love for your horse.
