I attended three equine seminars, all with veterinarians discussing different matters:

1. “How Horses Think,” by Cornell University (not the vet school)
2. “Laminitis Rounds” put on by the American Association of Equine Practitioners
3. “Fiber Intake, Fermentation, and Dental Condition,” by the European Equine Health and Nutrition Congress.

I also listened to a podcast from Purina called “Mythbusters.”

This podcast presents my summaries of these events. I was disappointed, and I will tell you why.
Horse owners may become confused about what they need to know in a world filled with misleading, agenda-driven, and siloed information. The experts in these presentations are real experts with credentials and strong beliefs. However, when I listen to their presentations, I have more unanswered questions than answers.

But I do find some gems, too. I will give you my reasons as I continue to show all horse owners that there are many sides to a coin.
