Should Grand Prix dressage riders be allowed to choose a snaffle instead of a compulsory double bridle? A proposed FEI rule change would permit either a snaffle or a double bridle at every level. Supporters believe equipment should be chosen for the individual horse rather than required by tradition, while critics want more evidence before changing the rules. If a dressage horse performs better in a snaffle, should competition rules still require two bits?

What happened at Muddy Water Ranch, and were the seized horses returned to their owner? In August 2025, humane agents seized 18 horses from Muddy Water Equestrian Park—also reported as Muddy Water Ranch or Muddy Waters Ranch—in Springfield Township, Ohio. Authorities alleged that horses at the property were severely underweight and suffering from inadequate care. Two horses connected to the case were later euthanized. Ranch owner Clarence Clemmons faced 18 counts of animal cruelty and pleaded not guilty. The criminal case eventually collapsed after a judge ruled that humane agents had coerced Clemmons into allowing them onto the property, violating his Fourth Amendment rights. Photographs and other evidence gathered during three visits were suppressed. The Hamilton County Prosecutor’s Office initially appealed that decision. However, prosecutors abandoned the appeal in July 2026, effectively ending the case without a trial on the complete body of evidence and without an animal-cruelty conviction. The surviving horses are now supposed to be returned to Clemmons. As of August 2026, publicly available reporting does not clearly confirm whether every surviving horse has physically been transferred back. The most accurate statement is that Clemmons is legally expected to regain possession of them. This case raises a difficult question: How can authorities intervene quickly when horses appear to be suffering while still following the legal procedures necessary to secure a conviction? Clemmons was never convicted, and allegations should not be presented as proven facts. At the same time, rescue organizations reported that the horses required extensive rehabilitation, and two animals did not survive. This video distinguishes between allegations, reported observations, defense arguments and established court outcomes. What safeguards should be required before the surviving horses are returned? And what must animal-welfare investigators do differently to prevent another case from collapsing over an unlawful search?

Can senior horses overheat faster than younger horses? Research suggests they can. In one study, older horses reached a core temperature of 104°F in approximately 17 minutes—nearly twice as fast as younger horses performing the same workload. In this video, we explain why senior horses may struggle to regulate their body temperature during exercise, how age can affect cardiovascular effort and plasma volume, and why sweating does not always prevent dangerous overheating. You will also learn how to recognize the warning signs of heat stress in horses, safely cool an overheated horse, plan summer exercise, and adjust your senior horse’s workload during hot or humid weather. Warning signs may include rapid or labored breathing, an unusually elevated heart rate, excessive or reduced sweating, weakness, poor coordination, confusion, unusual fatigue, and slow recovery after exercise. Heat illness can become an emergency, so contact your veterinarian immediately if your horse shows persistent distress or fails to cool down. This video is for educational purposes only and does not replace veterinary advice. Always consult your veterinarian about your horse’s health, fitness, hydration, medication, electrolyte needs, and ability to exercise safely.

The investigation into Pinto’s heartbreaking death led authorities to 30 other animals—20 chickens, six adult pigs, and four piglets. Investigators described the animals’ living conditions as “poor” and “cluttered,” while a local rescuer said the adult pigs were in deplorable condition. The animals were removed for medical evaluations, and local rescues stepped in to help care for and rehome them. Pinto could not be saved, but the investigation into his death may have saved dozens of other animals. #HorseNews #AnimalWelfare #AnimalRescue #LasVegas #Shorts This video is for educational purposes and constitutes Fair Use under Section 107 of the US Copyright Act of 1976.

Can valacyclovir and heparin help horses survive EHV-1 and its severe neurologic form, equine herpesvirus myeloencephalopathy? A newly published Virginia Tech study found that horses treated with this antiviral and anticoagulant combination had a lower incidence of EHM and better survival during naturally occurring EHV-1 outbreaks. All horses that received the combination therapy survived, including several horses affected by EHM that later returned to work.¹ Researchers reviewed 111 horses naturally exposed to EHV-1. Twenty-two horses were confirmed positive, and nine developed EHM. Four infected horses that did not receive valacyclovir or heparin developed grade 5 out of 5 ataxia and were euthanized. In comparison, every horse treated with the combination survived.¹ These findings are extremely promising, but this was a small, retrospective outbreak study—not proof of a guaranteed cure. The horses were not randomly assigned to treatment groups, and additional controlled research is needed. In this video, we explain: • What EHV-1 and EHM are • The difference between EHV-1 infection and neurologic EHM • How valacyclovir may help limit viral replication • Why heparin may help protect blood flow to neurologic tissue • What the Virginia Tech researchers discovered • The study’s important limitations • Early EHV-1 and EHM warning signs • What horse owners should do during a suspected outbreak Valacyclovir is an antiviral medication, while heparin is an anticoagulant. Researchers believe the medications may work together by limiting viral activity and reducing harmful clot formation associated with vascular injury. These are prescription medications that require veterinary diagnosis, dosing, supervision, and monitoring. Never administer valacyclovir, heparin, or another prescription medication without direct veterinary guidance. Heparin can cause serious bleeding complications when used incorrectly. Early EHV-1 signs may include fever, nasal discharge, depression, reduced appetite, and limb swelling. Neurologic signs can include toe dragging, stumbling, hind-limb weakness, urine dribbling, tail weakness, leaning, difficulty standing, or an inability to rise. If your horse develops a fever or neurologic abnormalities, isolate the horse and contact your veterinarian immediately. Do not force a neurologically impaired horse to walk.

New cases of vesicular stomatitis virus, or VSV, have been reported in horses in southwestern Colorado as the larger outbreak continues across the Southwest. What is vesicular stomatitis in horses? How does VSV spread? What symptoms should horse owners watch for, and what happens when an equine property is placed under quarantine? In this video, we explain the current vesicular stomatitis outbreak, including the affected Colorado counties and the latest case numbers reported by federal animal-health officials. We also discuss how biting midges, black flies, and sand flies may spread the virus—even to horses that have never left their property. You will learn: The early symptoms of vesicular stomatitis in horses Why excessive drooling and mouth sores should not be ignored Where VSV lesions can appear besides the mouth How biting insects and contaminated equipment may spread the virus Why vesicular stomatitis is a reportable equine disease What confirmed and presumptive-positive cases mean How quarantines help control an outbreak What horse owners can do to reduce exposure Why you should call your veterinarian before transporting a symptomatic horse Vesicular stomatitis can cause painful blisters and ulcers on a horse’s lips, tongue, gums, muzzle, coronary bands, ears, sheath, or udder. Affected horses may drool excessively, struggle to eat, drop feed, or become lame. There is no specific antiviral treatment for VSV. Veterinary care generally focuses on pain management, hydration, nutrition, supportive care, and preventing secondary infections. Most horses recover, but healing may take several weeks. If your horse develops unexplained drooling, difficulty eating, blister-like lesions, or sudden lameness associated with coronary-band sores, isolate the horse and contact your veterinarian immediately. Do not transport a horse with suspicious symptoms without calling ahead. This video is for general educational purposes and is not a substitute for veterinary diagnosis or treatment.

Can a tight noseband shorten your horse’s stride and negatively affect performance? A 2025 study published in the Journal of Equine Veterinary Science found that increasing noseband tightness dramatically raised pressure on the horse’s face while reducing stride length. When researchers tightened the noseband from the recommended two-finger setting to a zero-finger fit, peak facial pressure increased by 338 percent. At the same time, the horses’ strides became an average of 11.1 percent shorter—approximately the length of a hoof disappearing from every stride. In this video, we discuss: How noseband tightness was measured using a standardized taper gauge The difference between two-finger, one-finger, and zero-finger settings How tighter nosebands affected facial pressure and stride length Why a closed mouth does not always represent acceptance of the bit How noseband pressure may affect horse welfare and performance Why standardized noseband gauges may be more reliable than the traditional finger test What riders should consider when fitting a cavesson or crank noseband A noseband is not automatically harmful, but excessive tightening may restrict normal jaw movement, conceal signs of discomfort, and change the horse’s way of going. Mouth-opening can be communication, so riders should consider dental health, bit fit, bridle fit, training, and rein pressure before simply tightening the noseband. Should equestrian competitions require standardized noseband measurements? Let us know your thoughts in the comments. This video is intended for education and discussion. We are not veterinarians. Consult your veterinarian or another qualified equine professional if you have concerns about your horse’s mouth, teeth, tack, behavior, or performance.

A major USEF dressage rule change is coming to Third Level. Beginning December 1, 2026, double bridles will no longer be permitted in Third Level competition. Riders will be required to compete in an approved snaffle bridle, while double bridles will remain optional at Fourth Level and above. Why is USEF making Third Level snaffle-only, and what does this change mean for dressage riders, training, and horse welfare? In this video, we examine the purpose behind the new USEF dressage rule and the distinction it creates between Third and Fourth Level. We also discuss whether horses should be able to demonstrate collection, balance, flying changes, lateral movements, and genuine self-carriage without the added leverage of a curb bit. A double bridle can provide refined communication when it is properly fitted and used by an experienced rider. However, it can also create additional pressure and give riders more influence over the horse’s head and neck. This raises an important welfare question: Can a double bridle create the appearance of collection before a horse has developed the strength and balance required for true collection? The rule does not mean every double bridle is cruel or every snaffle is gentle. The effect of any bit depends on its design, fit, the horse’s anatomy, and the rider’s hands. Ultimately, this discussion is about whether competition rules can encourage more progressive training, greater harmony, and better protection for developing dressage horses.

UC Davis cut its championship-winning women’s equestrian team—but now the university’s own audit has revealed serious problems with the financial process surrounding that decision. Did the UC Davis audit clear the university? The short answer is that the audit found no evidence that officials intentionally manipulated the internal budget. However, it also found inadequate NCAA financial-reporting procedures, insufficient documentation and validation, problems with fundraising oversight, and an outside consultant that relied on financial data not designed for campus-specific budget decisions. UC Davis Athletics transitioned its Division I equestrian program to club status on July 1, 2026. The decision affected approximately 35 female student-athletes, despite the team winning three conference championships and completing an undefeated final conference season. In this video, we examine: What the UC Davis audit actually found Why NCAA records listed approximately $1.9 million in equestrian expenses How $690,000 in donated horses and other in-kind support affected the reporting Why UC Davis’ internal budget estimated approximately $1.1 million instead Problems identified in the NCAA financial-reporting process Why Collegiate Consulting used data inappropriate for campus budgeting Unanswered questions involving fundraising and Title IX Why supporters are still fighting to reinstate UC Davis equestrian The audit did not find evidence of deliberate financial manipulation, but it warned that inadequate documentation, validation, and supervisory oversight increased the risk of incomplete or inaccurate NCAA reporting. UC Davis Athletics has now been directed to strengthen these procedures. Do these findings clear UC Davis, or do they make the decision to cut its equestrian team even more questionable?

Can antibiotic eye ointment change the natural bacteria living on your horse’s eye? New research suggests that topical antibiotics—with or without corticosteroids—can temporarily alter the equine ocular microbiota. These changes may remain after treatment ends, with the eye’s microbial community taking approximately three weeks to return close to its original composition. In this video, we explain what the equine ocular microbiota is, how researchers studied the effects of antibiotic eye ointments in healthy horses, and what the findings mean for horse owners. We also discuss why the untreated eyes changed during the study, the research limitations, and why these results do not mean that prescribed eye medications are unsafe. Horse eye problems can become serious very quickly. Squinting, excessive tearing, swelling, redness, discharge, cloudiness, or sensitivity to light can be signs of an ulcer, injury, infection, inflammation, or foreign material. Because several eye conditions can look similar, owners should never use leftover antibiotic or steroid-containing eye medication without first contacting a veterinarian. Corticosteroid eye medication can be appropriate for certain diagnosed conditions, but it may delay corneal healing or worsen some ulcers and infections. Always have your horse’s eye examined and follow your veterinarian’s treatment instructions. This video is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for veterinary diagnosis or treatment.

Should you feed your horse hay before riding? Offering appropriate forage before exercise may help support your horse’s natural gastric defenses, but new research is investigating how effectively hay and chaff reduce acid exposure while horses are working. In this video, we explain how exercise may cause acidic stomach fluid to move upward toward the sensitive squamous region of a horse’s stomach—a process commonly called acid splash. We also discuss why horses exercised after prolonged periods without forage may face an increased risk of equine squamous gastric disease. Researchers at the University of Queensland are conducting a two-year study funded by the Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation. Using wireless pH capsules attached to the stomach lining, the researchers will compare gastric acidity when horses exercise after receiving hay, chopped forage known as chaff, or no feed. The study may help determine whether hay and chaff provide the same protection during exercise. However, the final results are not yet available, and feeding forage before riding cannot guarantee that a horse will remain ulcer-free. We also explain the difference between equine squamous gastric disease and equine glandular gastric disease, why saliva and forage may help buffer stomach acid, and why large grain meals should not be confused with appropriate forage before exercise. Always discuss your horse’s feeding program, performance changes, or possible gastric-ulcer symptoms with your veterinarian or qualified equine nutritionist.

Can ivermectin prevent New World screwworm in horses? The FDA has issued an Emergency Use Authorization for Ivermectin Liquid for Horses, but the authorization is limited to specific circumstances. It is prescription-only, provides short-term protection for no more than approximately 24 hours, and is not authorized to treat an existing screwworm infestation. In this video, we explain what the FDA’s New World screwworm emergency authorization means for horse owners, when ivermectin may be used, why it should not be administered routinely “just in case,” and why veterinary supervision remains essential. The authorization covers short-term prevention when Ivermectin Liquid for Horses is administered within approximately 24 hours after a foal is born or during the initial care of a fresh wound that could attract screwworm flies. It does not replace proper wound care, fly control, daily inspections, or treatment from a veterinarian. You will also learn: What New World screwworm is Why screwworm larvae are particularly dangerous Which horses may qualify for this medication How long the protective window lasts Why this product cannot treat an active infestation Why other ivermectin products should not be substituted Which wound changes require immediate veterinary attention How horse owners can reduce screwworm risks The FDA issued this Emergency Use Authorization on July 15, 2026. According to the agency, the product is available only by prescription from a licensed veterinarian and is intended for short-term prevention—not treatment. Read the official FDA announcement. This video is provided for educational purposes only. We are not veterinarians, and this information should not replace professional veterinary advice. If you notice moving larvae, worsening tissue damage, unusual drainage, a foul odor, increasing pain, or another concerning change in your horse’s wound, contact your veterinarian immediately.

Many people have been asking how Sully is doing emotionally after the shocking horse stabbing incident at the Las Vegas barrel racing event. While Sully's owner has not yet shared details about his emotional recovery, she is continuing to follow his rehabilitation plan and will likely learn more as he progresses. At this stage, Sully is still restricted to hand-walking, so it is too early to know whether he has developed behaviors such as being hand-shy or showing other signs of fear related to the traumatic event. Emotional recovery after a traumatic injury can take time, and every horse responds differently. In this short update, we discuss what has been shared so far and what we are still waiting to learn.

If someone is convicted of animal abuse, should they ever be allowed to own another animal? That question is at the heart of a major debate in the United Kingdom after a petition with nearly 240,000 signatures prompted Members of Parliament to discuss whether convicted animal abusers should face automatic lifetime bans and be placed on a publicly searchable animal abuse register. In this video, we explain exactly what was proposed, why so many people support the idea, why some veterinarians and animal welfare organizations have raised concerns, and what Parliament ultimately decided. We also discuss how these proposed changes could affect horse owners, dog owners, rescues, shelters, breeders, veterinarians, and anyone who cares about animal welfare. You'll learn: What the UK animal abuse register proposal would include Why nearly 240,000 people signed the petition The arguments for and against automatic lifetime ownership bans Why some charities oppose a public register How current UK animal welfare laws already work Whether convicted animal abusers can legally own animals again What this debate could mean for future animal welfare legislation For horse owners, this discussion raises important questions about accountability, enforcement, repeat offenders, and how best to protect horses and other animals from future abuse. While opinions differ on the best solution, nearly everyone agrees that preventing repeat animal cruelty should remain a priority. Whether you own horses, dogs, cats, livestock, or simply care about animal welfare, this is an important conversation that could influence future laws not only in the United Kingdom but potentially in other countries as well.

Could a ban on social media for children under 16 change the future of the horse industry? The United Kingdom is considering new legislation that could limit social media access for young people, and while the proposal is focused on children's mental health, it could have major consequences for equestrians around the world. In this video, we explore both sides of the debate.

What really happened at Miranda's Rescue? In this video, we examine one of the largest animal cruelty investigations in recent California history and the woman whose determination helped bring it to light. Jennifer Raymond, founder of the Humboldt Spay/Neuter Network, spent years investigating rumors that dogs transferred to Miranda's Rescue were disappearing.

What began as concerns about an animal rescue has grown into a multi-agency investigation involving the FBI, the California Department of Justice, forensic veterinarians, local law enforcement, and anthropologists from Cal Poly Humboldt. Investigators have used ground-penetrating radar and heavy equipment to excavate multiple areas of the property after previously recovering buried animal remains. Authorities have stated that approximately **730 animals are currently unaccounted for** based on the records they have reviewed. As the investigation continues, detectives are working to determine what happened to hundreds of dogs, cats, horses, and other animals that passed through Miranda's Rescue. In this documentary, we examine: 🐾 The history of Miranda's Rescue 🐾 Why California shelters trusted the organization 🐾 The discovery of buried animals on the property 🐾 The ongoing FBI excavation and forensic investigation 🐾 Why approximately 730 animals remain unaccounted for 🐾 The impact on families, shelters, and the broader animal rescue community 🐾 The questions investigators are still trying to answer This video is based on publicly available reporting and official statements from law enforcement. The Miranda's Rescue investigation remains active, and allegations discussed in this video have not been proven in court unless otherwise stated. Shannon Miranda has denied key allegations, and no criminal conviction has been entered regarding the matters discussed here. If you care about animal welfare, rescue transparency, and accountability, we'd love to hear your thoughts. **What changes do you think should be made to improve oversight of animal rescue organizations?

We already had stall-side foal IgG tests, so why are veterinarians talking about a new one? In this video, we break down a recent Equine Veterinary Journal study evaluating a new lateral-flow IgG assay and digital reader for assessing passive transfer in newborn foals. While horse breeders and veterinarians have been using tools like the SNAP Foal IgG Test for years, researchers wanted to determine whether newer technology could provide more objective, repeatable, and potentially more accurate results when making critical treatment decisions. We'll start by exploring why passive transfer is so important for every newborn foal and how a lack of adequate antibodies can lead to Failure of Passive Transfer (FPT), one of the most significant health risks facing young foals. Then we'll examine how veterinarians have traditionally tested IgG levels, including laboratory methods, refractometers, and the widely used SNAP Foal IgG Test. From there, we'll look at what makes this new digital IgG testing system different, how the lateral-flow assay and electronic reader work, and what researchers found when they compared the new technology to laboratory reference methods. Finally, we'll discuss the study's limitations, whether this new test is actually better than SNAP, and what these findings could mean for breeders, veterinarians, and foal health in the future. If you've ever wondered how veterinarians determine whether a foal received enough colostrum, how passive transfer testing works, whether the SNAP Foal IgG Test is still effective, or if newer diagnostic technology is changing equine medicine, this video is for you. 🔔 Subscribe for more horse health news, equine veterinary research, breeding insights, horse welfare discussions, and evidence-based updates affecting horse owners around the world. ⏱️ Chapters: 00:00 We Already Had Foal IgG Tests—So Why Is This New One Making Headlines? 01:40 Why Passive Transfer Matters for Every Newborn Foal 03:30 How Veterinarians Have Traditionally Tested IgG Levels 04:05 The SNAP Foal IgG Test and Other Stall-Side Options 07:05 What Makes the New Digital IgG Test Different? #Foals #HorseBreeding #FoalHealth #PassiveTransfer #FailureOfPassiveTransfer #IgGTesting #SNAPFoalIgG #Colostrum #HorseHealth #EquineVeterinarian #EquineMedicine #VeterinaryMedicine #NewbornFoal #HorseCare #HorseBreeder #EquineResearch #FoalingSeason Sources: • Equine Veterinary Journal (EVJ) • British Equine Veterinary Association (BEVA) This video is for educational purposes and constitutes Fair Use under Section 107 of the US Copyright Act of 1976.

When 24 Thoroughbred broodmares appeared in a Texas kill pen, the horse world erupted into debate. Rescue organizations launched emergency fundraising campaigns. Critics questioned whether paying bail prices fuels the system. Breeders, owners, and industry advocates found themselves facing difficult questions about accountability and horse welfare. But beneath the arguments lies a much larger issue: How do horses end up here in the first place? In this documentary, we examine the story behind the 24 Thoroughbred mares, the history of horse slaughter in North America, the rise of the modern kill pen economy, Thoroughbred aftercare programs, and the uncomfortable questions the horse industry continues to face regarding lifelong responsibility and horse welfare. This is not simply a story about rescue. It is a story about prevention. It is a story about accountability. And it is a story about what happens to horses when they are no longer profitable, competitive, or wanted. #HorseWelfare #KillPen #Thoroughbred #HorseRescue #HorseSlaughter #HorseRacing #EquineWelfare #RetiredRacehorse #HorseIndustry #ThoroughbredAftercare CHAPTERS 00:00 The Story of the 24 Thoroughbred Mares 02:37 The Kill Pen Debate Begins 2:12 How Horses End Up Here 04:00 The Business of Kill Pens and Rescue 04:30 Who Is Responsible? 09:00 The Thoroughbred Industry's Response Sources Discussed: • Paulick Report • Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance • Retired Racehorse Project • Industry aftercare initiatives and public reporting What do you think?

🚨 Texas has declared a statewide emergency after officials confirmed new cases of the New World screwworm, a flesh-eating parasite that was eradicated from the United States decades ago. In this video, we examine the latest screwworm cases discovered in Texas, why Governor Greg Abbott expanded the disaster declaration statewide, and what the situation means for cattle producers, horse owners, veterinarians, wildlife managers, and the broader agricultural industry. The New World screwworm (*Cochliomyia hominivorax*) is not an ordinary parasite. Unlike most fly larvae, screwworm larvae feed on living tissue, creating severe wounds that can threaten livestock, horses, wildlife, pets, and even humans. After more than 60 years without a domestic outbreak, the parasite's return has sparked serious concern among animal health officials. Topics covered in this video: ✅ New screwworm cases confirmed in Texas ✅ Why Texas declared a statewide emergency ✅ What the New World screwworm is ✅ How screwworm infestations affect horses and cattle ✅ Risks to ranchers, horse owners, and veterinarians ✅ The sterile insect technique used to combat outbreaks ✅ What happens if the parasite spreads further north ✅ The economic impact on the livestock industry ✅ How to identify possible screwworm infections If you own horses, cattle, goats, sheep, or other livestock, this is a situation worth watching closely. What do you think? Can Texas contain the screwworm before it becomes established, or could this become a larger agricultural crisis?

What is Ejiao, and why are animal welfare organizations calling on Amazon to stop selling it? Ejiao is a traditional Chinese medicine product made from donkey-hide gelatin. While it has been used for centuries, growing global demand has created a controversial international trade that animal welfare groups say is contributing to the slaughter of millions of donkeys every year. In this video, we explore the global Ejiao industry, the concerns raised by veterinarians and animal welfare experts, and the campaign urging Amazon to remove Ejiao products from its marketplace. We also examine how the donkey skin trade affects vulnerable communities that depend on donkeys for transportation, agriculture, water collection, and economic survival. Organizations including Brooke Action for Working Horses and Donkeys argue that the rapid expansion of the Ejiao market has created serious welfare concerns for both animals and people. As awareness grows, consumers, lawmakers, and corporations are being asked difficult questions about transparency, supply chains, and ethical responsibility. 🔹 What is Ejiao? 🔹 How is donkey-hide gelatin produced? 🔹 Why are millions of donkeys being affected? 🔹 What role does Amazon play in the controversy? 🔹 How are communities impacted when donkey populations decline? 🔹 Should online marketplaces sell products linked to controversial supply chains? Whether you support the campaign or are simply learning about the issue for the first time, this video provides important context about one of the world's most overlooked animal welfare debates.
