Sleep In Horses - #013 The Horse's Advocate Podcast

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

Every animal on the planet does sleep, including insects, birds, fish, aquatic mammals, you, me and our horses. Humans spend a third of their lives sleeping; in that time, we repair and strengthen our health systems. So do our horses, but little is known. There seems to be an increase in "narcolepsy" in horses, which isn't the proper use in horses of this human disease. So now it is known as a "Sleep Disorder" in Horses (or something like that). But this podcast doesn't spend much time on this one problem that has been escalating over the years. So instead, Doc T talks about what happens when we sleep. From there, we look at what might happen to our horses when they sleep. ********** TheHorsesAdvocate.com is a website to learn about horses, horse barns and farms. There is a membership side of the website where horse owners can attend live meetings to ask questions and get a deeper understanding of things they have learned on the site. Membership helps support this message, helping to spread it to everyone worldwide working with horses. HorsemanshipDentistry.com 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. Make an appointment in FL. HorsemanshipDentistrySchool.com is a website for those interested in learning how to perform equine dentistry without drugs on 97% of horses. There are eight spots a year for interested students PLUS, there is a separate online course for those wanting to learn how to do this but can never get to South Florida for hands-on training.
