    54. Vitamin E: Need it or Yeet it?

    54. Vitamin E: Need it or Yeet it?

    Many supplements make outrageous claims, only to find an ingredients list that doesn't match. For once we found and get to take a look at a supplement that appears to not only matches its claims, but has the research to back it up. That supplement is Vitamin E; more specifically Nano E. Are the claims about it being water-soluble true, should you be using this to treat EPM, and can you really see results as soon as in four days?

    53. Hock Injections: Medical Short-cut or Necessary Practice?

    53. Hock Injections: Medical Short-cut or Necessary Practice?

    Pick up your latest equestrian magazine, without fail you will see multiple, full page advertisements about hock injections. Walk down the barn aisle at your next show and simply listen to how many other riders are considering hock injections, have had them recommended by their vet, or have already begun utilizing them. Hock injections are used across the board in just about every barn regardless if you're an eventer, show jumper, dressage rider, or barrel racer. Today we ask and answer the question on when hock injections should come into the picture and what is safe on the market to inject. It may surprise you to learn that some of the most highly recommended injections are not FDA approved for the hock and others are having their ingredients illegal smuggled into the U.S. to be sold alongside other harmful drugs.

    52. Opinion: Why we aren't Wimps!

    52. Opinion: Why we aren't Wimps!

    This week, we decided to take a detour and discuss some popular articles we spotted being shared across Facebook a few weeks ago. It can feel very frustrating and alienating when prominent trainers use various language to discredit you as a rider, a horse person, and call you a wimp. We take a look at what some of this language is, how it perpetuates such negative views in the horse world, and what we can do to change it. Of course, it wouldn't be an In The Barn episode without a dash of research on wether or not different training methods are valid...or if we should just stick to the same old ways, day after day.

    51.2 Which Fecal Test is Best?

    51.2 Which Fecal Test is Best?

    With countless fecal test options on the market, WE the consumers want to know which is actually the best and perhaps which ones we should avoid. Between the Mcmaster, Modified Wisconsin, and Parasight, we got a good picture of what fecal tests on the market look like and what sort of complications you can expect. Not all Mcmaster tests came back the same, one company refused to disclose what type of test they run, and some tests took almost 3 weeks to get our results! Find out more in today's episode.

    51.1 The War on Parasites: Debunking Deworming Myths

    51.1 The War on Parasites: Debunking Deworming Myths

    Deworming, is a topic that brings about a lot of questions and confusion. Should we still be deworming every 6-8 weeks? Why are our dewormers not nearly as effective? What happens if we go a year without deworming? We answer all these questions and more in todays episode all about the history of deworming and the practices that have lead us to where we are today!

Pony club gal ,

You guys are awesome

Keep doing more podcasts cause I love to listen to them when I’m in the barn!! I have three horses of my own and 20+ that board at my moms barn. And Could you do a podcast on Dutch Warm Bloods???? Thank you!!!

P S. I hope maybe one day I can do podcasts just like you guys do😌

Hi

You should do an episode about breeds

PonyLover4Life ,

Awesome Perspective

So many horse podcasts are only about defending a person or certain style of riding. This is REAL people who have REAL experience with the details of this industry. I have a horse and we love doing different things to just have fun. It’s nice to know the science before we dive in. Especially living in Chester County (“horse county,”) a lot of the people here are used to doing things the traditional way. I love to not only see that new ways are working but prove it. They talk about things that are actually happening. I’m a black rider that lives 5 minutes away from plantation fields. And I have a trainer who looks down on the way I think about me and my horses relationship. It’s nice to hear how they went through things like this. DEFINITELY listen. They stopped in September but I’m seriously hoping they just took a pause. Me and my horse are better cuz of you guys!!!
