  • HorseSense Episode 13 - Feeding the Laminitic horse with Carol Layton

    02/05/2016 Duración: 01h06min

    Carol Layton is a woman with a curiosity that led her down the path to becoming one of Australia’s leading Equine Nutrition experts. With a background in Science and a love of horses, Carol found that she couldn’t find good evidence to back the way we were feeding our horses. There was not much to help horse owners work through the maze of feeds at the feed store and so most of the information was based on people’s opinions or small pieces of research undertaken on small groups of horses. This began a search for real knowledge about equine nutrition and led her to Dr. Elizabeth Kallon. Dr. Kallen is a Vet who has specialised in the development of sound nutritional practice for all horses. Carol has studied under Dr. Kallen for almost 10 years now and lectures both here and overseas on the subject. Carol also consults and sells balanced mineral mixes individualised for your horse's particular needs.

  • HorseSense Episode 11 - Jane Myers talks Equicentral land management practices

    18/04/2016 Duración: 54min

    I love my horses and I also love the land. I want to live as sustainably as possible and not be one of those horse owners that ruin the land their horses run on. We also all want the best for our horses and by far the best nutrition or horses is grass so it stands to reason that we want to grow as much of it as possible and manage worm burdens and the like. Jane's system of land/grazing management combines horses natural grazing behaviours with sensible systems of horse keeping to make our lives easier. I could listen to Jane all day - some incredibly practical information that we can all implement with minimal fuss and cost. A scientist, researcher and author, Jane's a wealth of information and tours both Australia and the UK teaching these principles.

  • HorseSense Episode 10 - Bits and Bitless Bridles, Emeritus Prof. Bob Cook shares some astonishing information you probably didn't know

    11/04/2016 Duración: 58min

    This interview changed my thinking and what I knew about how horses breath and how they work under pressure. Prof Cook has dedicated his life’s work to the study of issues with the horse’s breathing and how this is impacted by the way in which we ride and the equipment we use. As an equine ear, nose and throat surgeon and specialist he began by asking the seemingly simple question ‘what impact does a bit have on a horse?’. This question started a long journey to research and study. In the course of this study he came to see that horses actually didn’t need to be ridden in bits and in fact this is a relatively recent phenomenon and that the use of bits not only decreased performance but potentially were causing significant damage and even death. He developed a bitless bridle based on the research and now sells these to continue funding the research. If there is one episode you should listen to it’s this one.
