On this episode, I am joined by Dr. Cara Wright, DVM, MS, IVCA with Merck Animal Health to discuss best practices for preventative health, deworming and biosecurity, creating an optimal training environment for our horses.

Dr. Wright has focused her career on the needs of the equine athlete, integrating modalities such as chiropractic and rehabilitation to keep horses working and feeling their best. While living overseas, she ran a successful equine veterinary relief practice, which allowed her to work in various practice settings in the United States and Australia. Join us as she shares her insights on how to keep horses feeling and performing their best with these simple horse health habits.

In this episode, I'm addressing one of the most frequently asked questions at my clinics: "What bit do you use?"

This episode is inspired by a comment from one of our listeners on a recent post we made about the power of having a vision:

"I remember hearing you say on one of your podcasts that a visiting friend or relative had made a comment that you seemed so happy and content. You said it was because you were now working half as hard and getting twice the amount of work done. But, I know it wasn’t always like that. So, how do I get there? I can’t possibly work any harder than I currently am, getting up at 3 in the morning, getting my chores done, paperwork done, plan for the day mapped out, riding 6-10 horses a day, many of them colts who still require a lot of ground work, thinking it will somehow “work out” if I just keep working hard and want it bad enough. And I’m happy to do it! I love this life! But, I seriously don’t see how a trainer ever gets ahead. If I hire a couple kids to help with chores, sure, it gives me more time to focus on the training, but it eats up any profit margin I had. So, I just work harder and do it all myself. Buy the best quality alfalfa I can find and feed myself Ramen noodles for supper. I don’t mind the sacrifices...giving friends and family their “deal” because I want to be kind, but dang, those are actually the last people who should be asking for a “deal!” My best mare always gets the last, exhausted, beat up piece of me at the end of a long hot, 16 hour day. That genuinely makes me sad. She deserves better. And, so do I. But, I don’t know how to make it better. I don’t even know what my vision is. I thought it was “you’ll know it when you see it,” but it’s not that easy I guess. What’s all the stuff in between?"

Tune in as I share my insights and experiences from being in the exact same place in my training career and the steps I took to overcome my season of overwhelm and overworking.

This episode is inspired by a question from one of our listeners:

"I would love a podcast on how a rider can regain their confidence after an injury. My gelding spooked and bucked me off while riding in an arena with friends. I broke my pelvis. Although I am back to riding, I’m still scared to canter him in an arena. Thanks in advance!"

Join me as I share some advice on this topic and my phased approach to building confidence in horse and rider after an injury.
