No. 133. Sharon May Davis discusses Equine Complex Vertebral Malformation (ECVM)

Wed, 15 Oct 2025 08:43:00 -0300

Sharon’s passion for horses was first noticed when she was caught riding a bush horse at 4 years of age. She would climb up the front leg and haul herself up onto the back via the mane proud as a peacock. She still doesn’t know to this day how she survived, but by 14 she was working with racehorses and riding competitively in the show ring and winning up to Open Minor Royal classes by 18. Her desire to understand the biomechanics of the horse led her down the path of dissections and research and if that wasn’t enough, she built horse skeletons where students could move the limbs so to have a better understanding of the leg in motion. This became a critical factor when she rehabilitated or assisted in the selection of horses for performance riders in Australia and overseas. Her keen eye for detail saw her involved with horses that became or were already the Australian Champion in 8 different disciplines, with some competing at WEG and or the Olympics. With Equine degrees and a number of other qualifications in tow, Sharon’s research and published scientific papers have seen her lecture around the World as a key note or guest speaker at numerous events. So with this in mind, Sharon will be speaking on one of the current topics associated with her research - Equine Complex Vertebral Malformation (ECVM), or the Congenital Malformation of the 6th and 7th Cervical Vertebrae.

My partner, Krisanna, and I are award-winning filmmakers, and together we are embarking on a journey to better understand the horse-human connection. Our film will share powerful stories from those who have experienced incredible transformations and those who have dedicated their lives to equine-assisted work. We'll highlight researchers who can speak to why this connection is so powerful and share tools to help us access our healing power within.

Wed, 23 Jul 2025 08:30:00 -0300

Jec was raised in a horse training family in Vermont, studied dressage throughout Europe, and eventually settled in California. About 15 years ago, she realized that most of the problems riders struggled with stemmed from their horses not using their bodies well. They lacked strength or coordination, they had muscle imbalances, they were stiff, and so on. Meanwhile, horse training had become too specialized and way too complicated. We needed simple, straightforward tools to help horses use their bodies optimally. This prompted her to write her first book in 2005, 101 Dressage Exercises for Horse and Rider, which was endorsed by the United States Dressage Federation as critical for every rider to own. Three other books followed, all of which have been translated into foreign languages and are widely trusted around the world for helping horses regain freedom of movement, enjoyment of exercise, and strong bodies. Today, she works with students and their equine partners across the globe through publications, customized fitness plans, online courses, and in-person clinics.

No. 319. Elsa Sinclair Taming Wild

Wed, 12 Feb 2025 08:00:00 -0400

Elsa Sinclair is a horse trainer from the Pacific Northwest of the United States who brings a unique and powerful perspective to the horse world. From a family of horse trainers, she experimented with many different styles of horsemanship until she stumbled on a question that needed exploration: What if horses were given a choice? Would they let us ride them? Without force or tools to control and without bribes to lure them? The question led to a project, the journey of one wild mustang off the range, Myrnah, a horse with her own mind, strength, and sense of independence. One trainer, no tools, just body language. What started as simple questions, birthed the movie Taming Wild, an online course for those interested in learning Freedom Based TrainingⓇ, and a following of people who seek their own answers in what it takes to work more collaboratively with horses. What does it take to truly work together in freedom?

No. 262. Dr. Sybille Molle - Equine Kinesio® Taping for Horses

Wed, 24 Jul 2024 09:00:00 -0300

Dr. Sybille Molle graduated from Veterinary Medicine at the Perugia University, Italy in 2004. After a period of practice in equine medicine and surgery at AEMMECI equine practice in Rome (2001-2005) and at the Département Hippique of the Ecole Nationale Vétérinaire of Lyon, France (September 2008) she focused her interests on rehabilitation and physical therapy of the horse, which led her to become a Certified Equine Rehabilitation Therapist at Animal Rehabilitation Institute, Loxahatchee, FL in 2010. After that date, she completely dedicated her professional activity to the treatment of sport horses focusing on manual therapies and the more innovative techniques of equine physiotherapy, athletic conditioning, and re-education of posture. Curiosity and the desire to discover some additional techniques brought her to attend in 2011 the courses of the Kinesio Taping Association for human patients. After her initial contact, the KTA asked her cooperation to become the first DVM worldwide to be a Certified Kinesio Taping Instructor. Since 2011 she started developing the education program for the application of the Kinesio® Taping Method for Equines. Dr. Molle has been teaching this program worldwide from 2012 until 2016. In 2016 she ended her association with Kinesio in order to expand this educational program with ARI. Dr. Molle has lectured at many national and international congresses in equine rehabilitation including the application of Equine Kinesio Taping and was a guest author of the 2016 Rehabilitation of the Equine Athlete in Veterinary Clinics of North America, Equine Practice.

Clients come away with increased peace of mind, specific steps forward, and a deeper understanding of what their horses have been trying to “say".

No. 224. Sara Hunt Part 2: Tips and Tricks on Fitting Boots

Wed, 11 Oct 2023 06:50:52 -0300

Horses have been my life since 1998, and over the last couple of decades, I've learned a lot of things. Horses have always been my best teachers, and it stands to reason that a particular horse started my path into barefoot hoofcare. My first horse Prophecy, who's been with me since 1999, came up lame in 2006 at age 18. After the vet came and went a time or three with no improvement, he told me to retire her--and that's just not something to tell a teenager about her first pony. So, off came the shoes and down the booting rabbit hole... and to soundness! Just three months later we were camping in the mountains again. (Now in her thirties, Prophecy is doing fabulously.) After rehabbing most of our other horses over the years, as well as helping friends with their horses, I decided to pursue certification with the Progressive Hoof Care Practitioners and do this whole thing professionally. I have a passion for not just horses, but education, and I mix that in to everything I do. I love sharing my accumulated knowledge (there's twenty-some-odd years of it, please help vent it out!), and I love owners who want to learn. Teaching trimming basics is yet something else I love to share.

No. 215. Heather O’Leary, DVM - Holistic Care for Horses and Dogs using SURE FOOT

Wed, 16 Aug 2023 07:06:22 -0300

A 1999 graduate of Cornell's College of Veterinary Medicine, I pursued advanced training in veterinary spinal manipulative therapy (animal chiropractic) and veterinary acupuncture to earn certification in both modalities. I offer a personalized, hands-on approach to animal health. While I am a licensed veterinarian, I offer referral services only. All patients must have a primary veterinarian for routine and emergency veterinary care. Acupuncture and chiropractic can be used to maintain general health and well-being, as well as to address either specific or undiagnosed physical and medical problems. Owners of athletic animals, notably dogs and horses, find that regular treatments or "tune-ups" keep their sporty companions performing at their best, while they prevent common sports-related injuries. Owners of geriatric or chronically ill animals find that these modalities can provide relief where Western treatments alone have fallen short in conditions such as arthritis, weight loss, skin disease, Lyme Disease, respiratory difficulties, and allergies, just to name a few.

In addition to seeking information from books and trainers, she also learns from the medical literature on animal behavior. This crossover has led her to strive to handle her own animals, as well as her patients, in a low-stress way. She is a Fear Free certified veterinarian and is working on the Fear Free horse modules.

No. 212. Sara Hunt, Professional Equine Boot Fitter: Equine Boots for Performance & Therapy.

Thu, 27 Jul 2023 10:00:43 -0300

Horses have been my life since 1998, and over the last couple of decades, I've learned a lot of things. Horses have always been my best teachers, and it stands to reason that a particular horse started my path into barefoot hoofcare. My first horse Prophecy, who's been with me since 1999, came up lame in 2006 at age 18. After the vet came and went a time or three with no improvement, he told me to retire her--and that's just not something to tell a teenager about her first pony. So, off came the shoes and down the booting rabbit hole... and to soundness! Just three months later we were camping in the mountains again. (Now in her thirties, Prophecy is doing fabulously.) After rehabbing most of our other horses over the years, as well as helping friends with their horses, I decided to pursue certification with the Progressive Hoof Care Practitioners and do this whole thing professionally. I have a passion for not just horses, but education, and I mix that in to everything I do. I love sharing my accumulated knowledge (there's twenty some-odd years of it, please help vent it out!), and I love owners who want to learn. Teaching trimming basics is yet something else I love to share.

No. 143. Dr. Joyce Harman and Steven Maclin discuss CO2 treatment for equine illness and injury.

Thu, 16 Jun 2022 11:27:14 -0300

Dr. Joyce Harman, a regular on Webinars with Wendy is a holistic veterinarian. She has been using the AirJector-Vet® to treat horses for a variety of conditions. In this webinar, Airjector-Vet representative, Steve Maclin and Dr. Harman will discuss case studies. Medical therapy through the skin is a well-described practice. Transdermal applications of patches containing medicine for treating pain, nausea, heart failure, and dementia are commonplace. All these regimens permit the prolonged transfer of drugs into the body, so there is a continuous amount of the drug in the bloodstream. An alternative option for transdermal therapy is to use gas, instead of a patch. The use of gas has been less common due to the difficulty in transporting the gas and administering it in a controlled fashion. AirJector•Vet solves those issues and allows veterinarians to offer this therapeutic option in an easy to use portable and low-cost format. The AirJector•Vet uses Respidox pharmacopeia grade medical gases to vaporize warm water into a therapeutic mist that is enclosed around the therapy site in a sealed environment of pure gas. This sealed atmosphere maximizes the continuous transfer of gas into the tissue for the full twenty to thirty-minute therapy cycle.

No.105. Tracy Vroom: Craniosacral Therapy for Horses with a Twist”

Wed, 05 Jan 2022 10:10:19 -0400

There is a rhythm in the body that is separate from heart rate and respiration. This tide-like motion is called the craniosacral rhythm. The rhythm radiates throughout the body. It helps to move vital nutrients to the tissues and nerves of the body and protect them. It flows through the fascia. It is intricately linked with these beautiful connective tissue. It works within this system to assist the body in maintaining balanced communication. Craniosacral therapists use gentle palpation to find restrictions in the rhythm and by focusing on that area, restore balance. The work affects all systems of the body and how those components are working together. Our goal is to restore ease, fluidity, and communication in the body. When all the parts are working together to support the whole, balance and health are the results. The body has an amazing capacity to heal when allowed to do so. CST can help with so many things. Let's talk about its history, the practical application of the technique, and some case studies from my practice. It's been known to help maintain the body to prevent injuries, speed injury and post-op recovery, reduce and often eliminate head shaking, assist in behavioral and emotional challenges, and more.

Our own horses hunt over the rugged terrain of Exmoor and have hard-working, high performing hooves which I believe have helped to keep them sound over many years of high mileage work.

Wed, 07 Jul 2021 07:10:51 -0300

Emma Loftus RCST, BCST has been around horses since she was a baby – but first learned to ride when she was six years old. During her teens, Emma wanted to be a jockey, so enrolled in the British Racing School in the UK to gain a pathway into a racing stable. This entry into the racing world led her to work not just in the UK, but in Germany, the USA, New Zealand, and Australia (where she currently resides). Emma began studying Equine Craniosacral therapy in 2011, But it was in 2013, that Emma was introduced to the Biodynamic model, and it was here that her journey with the work shifted. On a visit to the UK and Europe in 2015, Emma enrolled in a weekend introductory workshop with the Craniosacral Educational Trust (CTET) on Craniosacral Biodynamics, the experience left her wanting to learn the modality from the beginning, so she enrolled in the two year training in 2017, and graduated in July last year. ps: Just to add, I may not have made it clear that the sphenoid and occiput are of slightly differing origin to the embryological triads of the spinal vertebrae. Note that; The orbito and basi post sphenoid derived from cephalic mesoderm. But the ali sphenoid and basi pre-sphenoid are derived from Neural Crest cells. Which is fascinating 🤓 and an insight to the intricate formation of the incredible butterfly/bat bone, the sphenoid. I also would like to point out an error I made in discussing the Occiput at birth (I can't count!). I kept saying the bone was in three parts. It is actually in 4 parts; (1) Squamos part (2,3) Condylar (4) Basilar.

Western and rodeo disciplines were the main focus. In her sophomore year of high school, she got her Quarter Horse and her mother got 2 Tennessee Walking Horses……oh dear goodness!

Between Diane’s junior and senior year her whole “idea” of what her ideal horse would be shifted. One of her most pivotal life situations placed her in Big Arm, Montana with Pearl Tompkins and over 50 head of Tennessee Walking Horses. She fell in love with the breed… drawn in not only by their beauty and wonderful gait but mostly their amazing, kind personalities. Since that time Diane has served on national Boards of Directors both in the United States and Canada. She has been a sound horse advocate since the late ’70s. She holds 2 Gaited horse show licenses (her first license was with the Tennessee Walking Horse Breeders’ and Exhibitors’ Association). Both current licenses are with The Independent Judges’ Association (Friends of Sound Horses judges division) She is licensed both for open shows and is a Senior IJA Dressage Judge.
