| Tapering | 10 Nov 2020 | 00:14:39 | |
What is tapering? Tapering is reducing the amount of training time on the days prior to your competition. Tapering is not about reducing the intensity or effort that you or your horse puts into training but the actual duration that you work them for, this is key. Tapering is a tried and tested method to improve performance at your competition and has been used successfully in human athletes over the past 30 years but isn't so widely known in the equestrian community. In this Podcast, Dr David Marlin explains what Tapering is and how to use it in your horse's fitness and training plan to greatly improve your horse's performance! Hosted on Acast.

| Moving a Horse to a New Home by Dr David Marlin | 19 Oct 2020 | 00:13:35 | |
Over the years I've come across many horse owners who bring a horse home and then find they are having problems with it in the first few days or even weeks, whether that be changes in temperament, illness or both. Moving home is extremely stressful for some horses and can even lead to colic, tying up and respiratory problems to name just a few. We cannot overestimate the stress of travelling and changing home for our horses, changing forage and feed, bedding material and so forth. Hosted on Acast.

| Dr David Marlin interviews Farrier Ben Benson at ACPAT | 27 Oct 2024 | 00:29:03 | |
Dr David Marlin took the opportunity to catch up with his old friend and colleague, farrier Ben Benson, at the annual Acpat seminar at Leamington Spa in October 2024. Ben Benson AWCF Farrier presented at the conference 'The Farrier's role in influencing equine posture and injury prevention'. They discuss the role of the farrier and how they can work with other professionals to determine the best course of action for any horse - given their unique perspective. How can a horse owner/rider get all these experts working together. Why is the farrier industry in decline, and what are the problems, causes and concerns for the industry? And what are the price differences between shoeing a horse in the UK and abroad? Farriers are being forced to shoe high numbers in the UK, and this is having a detrimental effect on their bodies, and they are struggling to make ends meet. They even discuss barefoot and why this topic is so divisive, and really it should be about welfare and what is best for the horse at that point in their life given; breed, age, condition, care, sport and whether it actually benefits them or not! You'll be able to watch the interview video here on Animalweb or listen to the podcast.

| Dr David Marlin Interviews Charlotte Hodgetts - Cooling Horses Research | 11 Aug 2024 | 00:22:27 | |
Dr David Marlin Interviews Charlotte Hodgetts of Myerscough College about her latest Research into Cooling Horses. David chats with Charlotte about how her equine science career started and what led her to research cooling horses. Charlotte's work and abstract can be found on the Animalweb website here. To understand more, here is the Introduction: Introduction: Strenuous exercise like British Eventing (BE) cross-country competition can increase equine core body temperatures to critical levels, particularly in hot/humid conditions without suitable acclimatisation (Marlin et al., 1996). Heat stroke is a welfare concern, particularly with increasing occurrences of UK heatwaves due to global warming (Kendon et al., 2021). Cooling practices have been investigated for international competition horses working maximally (Marlin et al., 2018), but not specifically the practices used in industry by riders at grassroots level. The aim was to investigate cooling practices used after cross-country phases at BE affiliated grassroots and international-level competition. Hosted on Acast.

| Motivation, energy and flow with Dr Gillian Tabor | 14 Jul 2024 | 00:19:00 | |
🐴 Can Horses Experience "Flow" During Training? 🤔 Ever wondered if we could make rehab and training more enjoyable for our equine partners? Research by Hintze & Yee (2022) asks: "Can we provide animals with the same access to a sense of enjoyment that we as humans value so much?" 🔑 Key Points:
Dr Giliian Tabor has been diving into human psychological theories of motivation, particularly Self-determination theory by Ryan and Deci. It's fascinating to consider how these concepts might apply to our horses! What are your thoughts? Can we make training more intrinsically rewarding for horses? 📚 Further reading:

| Can’t jump, won’t jump - Dr Gillian Tabor speaks to Marianne Davies about her research paper. | 28 Apr 2024 | 00:47:38 | |
In a departure from the previous themes of injury, treatment and rehabilitation, Dr Gillian Tabor speaks to Marianne Davies about her research paper ‘Can’t jump, won’t jump. The conversation covers topics such as ecological dynamics, complexity theory, the constraints-led approach and solving movement puzzles and how this applies to horses. The names and definitions of the theory may not be familiar but the underlying understanding of a holistic view of an amazing biological system – the horse – will be recognisable! Marianne is currently doing a part-time PhD in Skill Acquisition in Equine Sports based at Sheffield Hallam University. Marianne’s coaching experience includes more than 25 years of working in sports, academic and corporate environments. She is a coach developer, coach educator, assessor, IQA and national trainer. She is currently working as a Senior Coach Developer for UK Coaching.

| Pain Scoring - Dr Gillian Tabor interviews Diane Howard | 24 Mar 2024 | 00:34:22 | |
Dr Gillian Tabor chats with Diane Howard, lead author of a research study developing a pain scoring system for owners to use for horses with osteoarthritis. The article and the scoring system – the Equine Brief Pain Inventory (EBPI) – is openly available for anyone to access and use. Diane and her team used a reliable methodology to design a questionnaire to help owners assess the posture, facial expression, movement and behaviour of their horse. The resulting tool is undergoing further reliability testing in a larger population of owners/caretakers of arthritic and healthy horses before it can be introduced in practice. If you are reading this in 2024 and have a horse with OA, and would like to help with the study – please get in touch!

| Recognising pain in the ridden horse with Sue Palmer | 25 Nov 2023 | 00:30:33 | |
Recognising pain in the ridden horse – use of the ridden horse pain ethogram (RHpE) with Sue Palmer (interviewed by Dr Gillian Tabor)
“All too often, pain in ridden horses is labelled as ‘bad’ behaviour. The apparently ‘sound’ horse is ‘naughty’, ‘lazy’, ‘difficult’, ‘explosive’, ‘spooky’, ‘nappy’, and more. These labels are wrong. Pain impacts all aspects of a horse’s performance, including its partnership with the rider, and its potential to progress. It does not always create lameness. Relieving pain can lead to improved performance, a deeper partnership, and greater potential.”
Sue and Gillian discuss the Ridden Horse Pain Ethogram (RHpE), developed by Dr Sue Dyson and colleagues. The RHpE is a checklist of 24 behaviours to check for musculoskeletal pain in the ridden horse. Horses can only demonstrate pain through their behaviour and performance. Only through first recognising pain can we then address it through accurate assessment, diagnosis and treatment. Sue Palmer and Dr Sue Dyson have recently published ‘Harmonious Horsemanship: Use of the Ridden Horse Ethogram to Optimise Potential, Partnership and Performance’.

| Dr David Marlin - Vitamin E, could your horse be deficient? | 28 Oct 2023 | 00:12:54 | |
Vitamin E is an essential nutrient for horses, much like it is for humans and other animals. Vitamin E cannot be made and must be obtained from the diet. It plays a vital role in various bodily functions, including immune system support, muscle function, and the elimination of free radicals that can damage cells and tissue. Horses that have access to fresh, green pasture typically get an adequate amount of Vitamin E from their diet. However, those that are kept in stables/stalls or fed on a diet consisting mainly of hay might require supplementation. Dr David Marlin explains the extensive importance of Vitamin E, with a discussion around:

With colleagues, Heather has conducted three significant studies into Horse falls at events. Heather’s 2023 study on horse falls in British Eventing competition was the largest scientific study ever published, and her previous research with FEI data has led to significant safety discussions about fence types and their order during a cross-country course and a closer subjective look at what constitutes a risk factor. Equestrian eventing is a dangerous Olympic sport, with 16 rider and 69 horse fatalities at competition in the last 10 years. Despite this, there is limited research that aims to improve safety within the sport.

In this podcast, Dr David Marlin discusses the importance of understanding horse and rider behaviour to reduce the risk of injury and improve performance. David emphasises the need to move away from labelling horses as 'naughty' and instead focus on the underlying reasons for their behaviour, such as pain, confusion, and anxiety. The conversation explores how horses perceive their environment, including their acute hearing abilities, and how this can affect their reactions. David highlights the significance of recognizing conflict behaviours and their potential consequences for both horse and rider, advocating for a more empathetic and informed approach to equestrianism.
