Yearlings and behavioral issues—a deeper look | Gem & Honor's Story
Why will one horse won't stop running and another won't move?
What if the horse that never stops moving and the horse that doesn't want to move are both telling you the same thing?
In this episode of Holistic Horseworks Live, April Love evaluates two young horses from the same farm: Gem, an Arabian yearling filly who seems to run herself into a sweat every time she's turned out, and Honor, a horse who appears heavy through the shoulders, downhill in posture, and sometimes mistaken for lazy.
Through live evaluations, April discusses cranial compression, hoof balance, high-low syndrome, posture, pullback injuries, and how structural stress patterns can affect movement, behavior, and overall health.
This episode also includes live Q&A with horse owners on topics including tendon injuries, navicular issues, TMJ dysfunction, wood chewing, cranial asymmetry, Cushing's disease, and how bodywork can help horses of all ages.
In this episode:
• Why behavior and conformation may not tell the whole story • What April found during Gem and Honor's evaluations • High-low syndrome and its effect on the entire body • Cranial compression and pullback injuries • Hoof balance, posture, and movement patterns • Questions from horse owners around the world

Welcome to Holistic Horseworks Live, where founder April Love helps horse owners uncover the hidden causes behind behavioral problems, physical compensation patterns, and unresolved pain through holistic bodywork and intuitive horse care.
🍎 IN THIS EPISODE
April works live with Tia and her horse, Stetson, to discuss the remarkable transformation that took place after applying Holistic Horseworks techniques, distance reading recommendations, and the Equine Musculoskeletal Unwinding home study program.
Together, they break down Stetson’s original symptoms, compensation patterns, and behavioral concerns while exploring how cranial decompression, nervous system support, bodywork, and foundational care can create major changes in movement, comfort, and overall wellbeing.
This episode gives horse owners a closer look at how physical pain often presents as behavioral resistance, why compensation patterns matter, and what can happen when you begin addressing the root cause instead of chasing symptoms.

🍎 IN THIS EPISODE
April reconnects with her longtime heart horse, Tiki, alongside special guest Chris. Once an Arabian racehorse, Tiki went on to complete thousands of endurance miles while staying sound through holistic support, bodywork, cranial balancing, barefoot recovery periods, and targeted nutritional care.
April explains how pullback trauma, cranial compression, TMJ restrictions, and emotional stress patterns affect horses long term, even decades later. Chris shares what it’s like caring for a 30-year-old horse with one eye, while April reflects on Tiki’s endurance career, rehabilitation journey, and the deep bond that shaped her work with horses today.
This episode is a powerful conversation about horse longevity, nervous system regulation, emotional connection, and why listening to the horse matters just as much as treating the body.

🍎 IN THIS EPISODE
Ralph is a 9-year-old quarter horse ranch pleasure gelding who came to Joni with a history of yearly hock injections, intermittent front end lameness, and a personality that had recently shifted — grouchy, bitey, spooky, and dunking his hay in his water bucket. April's distance reading flagged viral and bacterial issues and asked if Ralph had ever been tested for EPM. Joni took him to an EPM specialist who confirmed the diagnosis.
April also identified first rib misalignment driving the hocks too close together, cranial compression affecting his TMJ and dental patterns, and explains why his hooks and waves keep coming back on the same side every six months.
Joni is enrolled in Level 1: Equine Musculoskeletal Unwinding, shares what the distance reading experience was like, and what it means to finally have answers that actually connect the dots.

"What would you do if your horse was limping, colicking, or spooking—and no one could tell you why?”
That question lit a fire in April Love that would grow into a global mission: helping horse owners uncover the root causes of mystery lameness, behavioral issues, and chronic pain that traditional methods often miss.
Recently, April joined Kimberley on The Backyard Horse Enthusiast podcast to share her journey, from early passion and endurance riding to developing the revolutionary bodywork system that is now Holistic Horseworks.
What makes April’s approach unique is that she teaches horse owners how to become their horse’s best healer. Through hands-on clinics, online home study courses, and a growing archive of over 200 YouTube videos and bite-sized podcasts, April shares techniques that work—because they’re based on real results over decades of experience.
From resolving Uveitis without surgery, to transforming behavioral “problem horses” into calm companions, April’s stories are more than anecdotes—they’re evidence of what’s possible when we support the body’s ability to heal itself.
And the best part? You don’t need to be a vet, trainer, or therapist. You just need the right tools, a little guidance—and a deep love for your horse.

In this episode, April Love, in response to a fan question, explains how her horse yoga program can help improve a horse's gait, making both the trot and canter smoother.
The yoga exercises serve as diagnostic tools to address issues such as neck stiffness, shoulder restrictions, and spinal problems, which can lead to choppy trots and uneven canters. She highlights five key stretches, each targeting different parts of the horse’s body, to release tension and improve flexibility.
April emphasizes that while the yoga can help, more severe issues such as first rib misalignment often require deeper work through her Equine Musculoskeletal Unwinding program. She offers detailed online courses and diagnostics to help horse owners maintain their horses' well-being and prevent costly vet bills.

In this episode, April discusses the importance of horse owners preparing for natural disasters such as wildfires, hurricanes, and tornadoes. The key points include:
Learn how to put identification on your horse so if they get loose, the person who finds them can contact you.
Use duct tape and a black Sharpie pen to write your phone number on the horse's hooves. Additionally, consider using dog tags on the horse's halter or blanket.
Always keep essential supplies on hand, such as Dynamite Liquid Trace minerals for wound care, tea tree oil, and Epsom salts. Prepare a medicine chest with items recommended in horse care books for emergencies like colic, wounds, and smoke inhalation.
It's better to be prepared and not need it than to scramble during an emergency.

In this episode, April, addresses a question about a horse that refuses to pick up one of its feet.
April suggests that the issue is not a training problem but rather a discomfort or pain-related concern. She advises looking at the horse's other feet and checking for signs of laminitis, soreness, or injuries.
If the horse is avoiding putting weight on one foot, the focus should be on understanding why it's uncomfortable shifting its weight rather than forcing the foot to be lifted.
For front hooves, April recommends positioning the horse uphill to shift more weight to the hind end or providing a soft surface for the other foot to stand on, encouraging the horse to lift the desired foot. She shares a beneficial hoof-soaking recipe for various foot issues.
Regarding hind hooves, April suggests considering potential soreness in the SI joint, which can affect the horse's willingness to lift a hind leg. She demonstrates a technique for picking up the hind leg that reduces stress on the SI joint.

Does your black horse fade to brown in the summer?
In this episode, April discusses how the color change is likely due to a copper deficiency in the horse's diet. She suggests feeding the horse Dynamite Liquid Trace Minerals once a week to provide the necessary copper and prevent the fading of its black coat.
April also mentions that chestnut horses with burnt-out-looking hair and curled ends may have a copper deficiency as well.
April believes that mineral deficiency can make horses more prone to parasites, so she advises using organic diatomaceous earth and doing fecal counts every two to three months.

In this episode, April discusses ways to handle moodiness in mares during the summer when they are cycling. The main concern is that the moody behavior may affect interactions with other horses, and impact performance at horse shows or events.
April suggests starting by addressing any physical discomfort the mare might be experiencing. Similar to humans, horses can become irritable when in pain. She recommends trying her horse yoga program, which consists of five basic stretches to make the mare more comfortable in her body.
By understanding the mare's specific needs, balancing her hormonal system, and addressing any physical discomfort, it becomes possible to improve her behavior and overall well-being.

In this episode, April explains muscle testing, which is a technique used to determine the suitability and effectiveness of supplements and products for horses.
April explains that muscle testing involves "yes" or "no" answers. She teaches muscle testing in her applied kinesiology class. She emphasizes the importance of assessing the vitality and quality of products before feeding them to horses. By placing a hand on the product packaging, one can ask if its vitality is greater than 8 on a scale of 1 to 10.
April also suggests asking if the product is good for the horse and if the horse can assimilate it effectively. She shares her experience using NCD (Natural Cellular Defense) to passively clear the horse's liver and kidneys of toxins, which can affect their overall health.
She notes that being emotionally upset can affect the accuracy of muscle testing.
Overall, muscle testing can help horse owners save money by ensuring they provide the right products that their horses can effectively assimilate.

To use a bit or not, has often been discussed by horsemen.
Many people go to a bigger, harsher bit when their horse doesn't respond. It could be that the horse's head is not in alignment. The skull is not one big bone, it's many bones fused together. If a horse pulls back those bones can shift.
This affects the teeth and how the bit feels in the horse's mouth.
Learn how to correct the teeth, the temporal mandibular joint, and other cranial issues and you might be able to go bitless.

Should you be giving your horse electrolytes this summer?
In this episode, April discusses whether horses should be given electrolytes during the summer. It depends on what the horse is doing.
Powdered electrolytes can burn a horse's esophagus and cause them to lose their appetite. Instead, April recommends using Dyna Spark, which is a liquid electrolyte that is more bioavailable and gentle on the system.
It also has ismene silica, which helps detoxify the liver and kidneys and pull out lactic acid.
April recommends giving electrolytes in small amounts, more often, as horses will only take what they need. The speaker also suggests using Dyna Spark to encourage horses to drink water when traveling or when the water source has an unpleasant smell.

My passion is helping horses and horse lovers like you! There is nothing that lights me up more than watching someone have that "ah-ha" moment when it finally clicks, and they realize how powerful and instrumental they are to their own horse's wellbeing.
This week on Holistic Horsework's Talks, I share my story behind that passion, stemming from decades of experience in horseback riding, competing, training, and health care. And even further back to being a little girl playing with horses on my Grandparent's farm.
My history with horses has been filled with so much joy, but there have been plenty of challenges, too. Being disqualified from riding and competing because my horse was lame. Wondering what was going on and never getting any actual answers from the vet. Spending $17,000+ dollars on classes, courses, and clinics to feel like something was still missing.
But you don't have to struggle like I did. Years upon years of riding, practice, study, and my own hard-won experience are now available to you through hands-on, in-person clinics and virtual home study courses at Holistic Horseworks.

Scars can be more than just ugly! In the wrong place, scars can impede your horse’s performance.
Ideally, the best thing is to avoid scarring in the first place by taking care of fresh wounds. Since horses’ bodies are saline, you don’t want to use plain cold water to clean them out.
Using a solution of Tea Tree Oil and Dynamite Liquid Trace Minerals will prevent infection and swelling and start the healing process from the inside out.
For old, hard scars, Dynamite Balm, which comes from a pre-historic mineral mine, will soften them and free up movement especially if the scar is near a joint.
In this episode of Holistic Horseworks talks, learn more about wound care and scar treatment!

In this episode, April discusses show jumping and eventing horses.
Jumping is very hard on a horse's body.
Healthy hooves provide a good foundation for overall horse health.
Next, jumpers need to be able to do horse yoga. If not, there are issues that need to be addressed. It starts in the front end. If the shoulders can't move freely, the horse can't pick up the front legs to get over the jump. That throws stress onto the hind end to compensate.
The hips then become misaligned and the horse doesn't have the power to push off the ground, nor pick his hind feet up, and then knocks a rail down.
Taking care of the horse's joints are key to keeping them jumping.
