Siloed Horse Information Doesn't Help Horses - The Horse's Advocate Podcast #150

from The Horse's Advocate Podcast · host Geoff Tucker, DVM

I have returned to podcasting after a 7-month hiatus. There are two reasons: I have been working on a new place where all horse owners can find unbiased, safe, private, and convenient information about their horses. Go to Community.TheHorsesAdvocate.com to see how easy it is to get the information you want. Too many recent events have involved incompetent care for horses. I discuss the effect of relying only on what we know to draw conclusions about the care of horses; the term silo (siloed, siloing) is commonly used. A silo is a long, vertical tube standing on end, about 15 to 40 feet (4.5 to 12 meters) in diameter and 50 to 150 feet (15 to 46 meters) tall. Originally used to store grains on farms, they now have multiple uses and configurations, including underground missile storage. The term, silo, is also used to describe keeping ideas, processes, and departments isolated from all others. It is how I use it in this podcast: horse caregivers only use what they know, don't ask questions outside their silo to determine the cause of the problem, and instead focus only on the solution to fix the problem. ********** Community.TheHorsesAdvocate.com is a place for learning about horses, horse barns, and farms. Its information is free, and there is a membership side that allows horse owners to attend live meetings to ask questions and deepen their understanding of what they have learned on the site. Membership helps support this message and spread it to everyone worldwide who works with horses. The Equine Practice, Inc. is a website that discusses how and why I perform equine dentistry without immobilization or the automatic use of drugs. I only accept new clients in Florida. Click here to make an appointment. The Horsemanship Dentistry School is a place for those interested in learning how to perform equine dentistry without drugs on 97% of horses. Please give a thumbs up or 5-star review and share these everywhere. I know horse owners worldwide listen, and the horses need every one of you in "Helping Horses Thrive In A Human World."
