Drama In The Horse World - The Horse's Advocate Podcast #153

More dramatic stories from horse people about how tooth extractions were recommended by veterinarians, with one causing weight loss and permanent diet changes, and the other averted by a second opinion. What was common to both stories was that no horse had a chewing, eating, or weight problem before the recommendation. I discuss the common practice of "comlexication," in which experts, professionals, and agenda-driven companies impose their unproven theories on the care of our horses. Theories require rigorous scientific examination; however, all horse studies can barely prove causation. Rather, they depend on correlation, which allows for opinions rather than verified facts. The result is that horse owners hear an abundance of opinions and follow those that "sound good." Does this allow them to "do the best for their horses?" ********** Community.TheHorsesAdvocate.com is a place to learn about horses, horse barns, and farms. Its information is free, and there is a membership side that allows horse owners to attend live meetings to ask questions and deepen their understanding of what they have learned on the site. Membership helps support this message and spread it to everyone worldwide who works with horses. The Equine Practice, Inc. website discusses how and why I perform equine dentistry without immobilization or the automatic use of drugs. I only accept new clients in Florida.
