Very Important Pony - Elaine Hildreth, MMCP

Angels, best friends, professors… whatever you call them, I hope you’re able to spend some extra time with them this weekend.

Horses teach so many lessons. Cherish the moments you have with them as much as they cherish their time with you. ❤️🐎

For every rider, owner, instructor, and trainer who refuses to settle, constantly seeks improvement, and puts the horse's needs first, your commitment is truly inspiring.

Listen in! Platinum Performance interviewed Piper Norton and two other incredible vets to share the latest info about anhidrosis. Even if your horse is currently sweating, this condition is one every horse owner needs to stay up to date on.

When the weather gets hot and humid, the risk for anhidrosis increases, especially in the Southern and Gulf Coast regions. Tune in to the Platinum Performance® Podcast as we chat alongside veterinary experts Drs. Piper Norton, Ben Buchanan, and Jerome Kotzur, while this expert team of veterinarians explores the intricacies of anhidrosis, what causes this disruption in normal sweating, and what vets are reaching for in terms of treatments and preventive strategies.

It’s always worth it to keep digging to learn what is bothering your horse to cause reluctance and/or negative behaviors. Work with your vet to find viable options for your horse that are within your budget. If and when bodywork is an appropriate addition to the treatment, make sure you ask the bodyworker to communicate with your vet regarding what is appropriate for your horse at each stage of healing and for long term maintenance.
