    E5: Uh oh ovary: Ophelia's story

    Kahlan and Taylor host their first guest! Sally Colbert is a life long equestrian and dear friend of Taylor.

From radial nerve damage from a kick, EPM, a fractured elbow, and a very impressive ovarian cyst. Sally tells her story, how symptoms of all presented, and management. Today, Ophelia is sound and happy.

    E4: MFM is a MTHRFKR: Leah part 2

    Myofibrillar Myopathy (MFM) is a muscle disease that disrupts the normal structure of muscle fibers. These abnormalities result in exercise intolerance, mystery/rotating soundness issues, poor performance, weakness, etc. In this episode, Taylor shares her mare's long journey to diagnostics. Turns out, her back was never the issue - it was MFM all along. Listen in to learn more about the presentation, diagnostic process, and management of MFM. Dr. Valberg is the pioneer of equine myopathy research. More information on MFM and her muscle lab available on the Kentucky Equine Research website (www.ker.com) Taylor CL Schouten, MS, APF-I Hoof Care Practicioner Wild Hoof Equine LLC www.wildhoofequine.com Kahlan Ettere Holistic Nutritionist Wise Choice Equine Wellness LLC Check out our website: www.theredmareproject.com Follow along on Facebook!
