PEMF is gaining global attention, but clarity matters.

As more practitioners and pet professionals explore this modality, understanding how it works and how it’s applied is essential.

WHAT IS LEPTOSPIROSIS? 🔎

Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection horses can pick up from contaminated urine, reproductive fluids, or contaminated water/soil. Risk is higher with stagnant water, flooding/heavy rain, and exposure to wildlife/rodents.

Leptospirosis is most known for affecting the kidneys, pregnancy, and eyes. The main syndromes associated with it are:

• Kidney disease (acute renal failure): may include fever, not eating, changes in urine production, and abnormal kidney bloodwork; urine testing may show blood/inflammation.

• Pregnancy loss / foal illness: can cause placentitis, abortion (often late-term, typically after 8 months), or a sick newborn foal (weakness, jaundice).

• Equine recurrent uveitis (ERU): a painful, recurring eye inflammation that can happen months to years after the original infection and can threaten vision.

🩺 Symptoms of Leptospirosis can include:
• Fever, dullness, not eating
• Changes in urination or signs of illness consistent with kidney trouble
• Abortion, especially late in pregnancy (sometimes with no warning signs)
• Eye pain/squinting/recurring eye inflammation

Prevention:
An equine-approved vaccine is available. Talk to your veterinarian to discuss your horse's suitability and the appropriate vaccination protocol for your specific situation.

⚠️Human safety note:
Some types of Leptospira serovars can infect people. Use care while handling urine or aborted tissues/fluids and involve your veterinarian promptly.

If you have questions or concerns about Leptospirosis in regard to your equines, contact your veterinarian.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT CAUSES GRASS FOUNDER?

Spring is a wonderful time of the year, but it may be the beginning of some serious problems for horses vulnerable to grass founder — like horses that are over the age of 10, easy keepers, overweight or cresty-necked.

Laminitis or founder, as it is commonly called, is inflammation of the laminae of the horse’s foot. Laminae are the delicate, accordion-like tissues that attach the inner surface of the hoof wall to the coffin bone (the bone in the foot). A horse suffering from laminitis experiences a decrease in blood flow to the laminae, which in turn begin to die and separate. The final result is hoof wall separation, rotation of the coffin bone and extreme pain. In severe cases, the coffin bone will actually rotate through the sole of the horse’s hoof where it becomes infected and can ultimately lead to the horse having to be euthanized.

Laminitis can be triggered by different causes, like repeated concussion on hard ground (road founder), grain overload, retained placenta, hormonal imbalance (Cushing’s syndrome), obesity, and lush grass.

In cases of grass founder, the sugar fructans produced by rapidly growing grass stimulates an overgrowth of bacteria in the horse’s large intestine. The bacteria produce and release toxins (endotoxins) that are carried by the bloodstream to the foot where they cause damage to the laminae and small blood vessels.

The best way to deal with laminitis is preventing and managing the causes under your control. Consult your equine practitioner for further information and to formulate a plan tailored to your horse's individual situation. If you suspect laminitis, consider it a medical emergency and notify your veterinarian immediately.

Today is National Horse Protection Day in America. It’s important that we acknowledge the welfare of horses on this day each year, which serves as a reminder to encourage citizens to adopt equines and help them to find forever homes. This day is especially critical for the Lost Horses.

Horses have shaped our history and stood boldly in the background of our greatest stories, from farms and ranches to racetracks, from therapy programs to family barns.

Every year, tens of thousands of American horses including mustangs, racehorses, show jumpers, lesson ponies, and foals are shipped across our borders into the slaughter pipeline once they are no longer seen as useful.

Gratitude calls us to do better.
Stewardship calls us to lead.

On National Horse Protection Day, we recommit to being the voice for the horses who cannot speak for themselves.

They carried us.
Now we stand for them.

Did you know? The hoof and the horse are always connected!?

Sounds silly right but…

I still regularly see compartmentalised thinking in this industry. The hoof is treated as something created by the farrier, while the body is treated as something shaped by training, posture, management, or pathology somewhere else. As if these are separate problems that occasionally influence one another rather than parts of the same system.

Hoof balance is not a shape, a measurement, or a visual ideal. It is a moment condition. The distal limb must satisfy an equilibrium between external ground reaction forces and internal tissue moments. When that equilibrium is met, phalangeal alignment, hoof–pastern axis, palmar angle, and capsule morphology emerge as consequences rather than targets. When it is not met, the system does not immediately fail. It compensates.

That compensation is bi-directional. Forces do not only travel upward from the hoof. Posture, neuromuscular tone, limb orientation, and movement strategy all influence how the hoof is loaded in the first place. The hoof receives force from the ground, but it also feeds information back into the system through mechanical strain and sensory input. Hoof form and whole-horse organisation continuously shape one another.

However, the hoof is a persistent boundary condition. Posture and movement can vary from stride to stride, but hoof geometry influences every step the horse takes. If the hoof alters the timing or direction of force, the limb must change strategy, the trunk must stabilise differently, and the nervous system will preserve that solution. This is why compensation can appear functional for long periods of time, even as tissue cost accumulates elsewhere.

The point is not that the hoof is everything, or that the body is irrelevant. The point is that separating them is the mistake. Farriery alters boundary conditions at the ground. Those conditions either allow the horse to resolve forces within its elastic and biological reserve, or they force the system to organise around constraint. Hoof balance is therefore neither purely local nor purely global. It is the interface where mechanics, biology, and behaviour meet.

That is why the last webinar with Dr Haussler was so important, understanding the difference between compensation and maladaption!

Hindlimb lameness is often more subtle and harder to diagnose than forelimb lameness. Understanding your horse's strengths and faults can help you tailor your exercise program and have better conversations with your veterinarian and farrier.
