Episode 70: An Impromptu Interview with a Trainer

Dr. Audrey DeClue has an impromptu conversation with a trainer discussing the importance of understanding a horse's soundness, the impact of proper body lameness treatment and the lack of mechanical or manufactured training "aides" and "tools" needed for a horse to achieve optimum performance and whole body soundness. The conversation underscores that how a horse "feels" under saddle as a rider is more important than its appearance. It also highlights the biomechanical considerations necessary for practical advancements in veterinary sports medicine that can help trainers and owners with their sport horses.
