Welcome to a deeper understanding of equine health. This section is dedicated to exploring the “why” and “how” behind physical disorders and diseases. Whether you are looking for clarity on congenital spinal anomalies like ECVM or wanting to understand the latest research on osteoarthritis and metabolic disorders, you’ve come to the right place. We provide the scientific context you need to recognize and address the pathologies affecting your patients.
I enjoyed this webinar. Dr. Haussler did a good review of the existing literature regarding the effects of hyoid injury on equine behavior. He discussed what is known by the equine veterinary community and was open to suggestions about possible avenues for further research. The fact that he welcomes the input of non-vet practitioners says a lot about his openness and curiosity – very refreshing.
As an equine osteopath, I enjoy how Dr. Haussler challenges me to look at an issue from multiple perspectives. So many different factors can influence why a horse may exhibit certain “laterality” behaviors. I am so glad he made the clear distinctions between laterality and asymmetry. The second thing that really jumped out at me was: “Just because we can change it, it doesn’t mean that we should.” Thank you, Dr. Haussler, I always walk away from your presentations Laterality with some gems!
I really appreciate Dr. Haussler’s perspective on the diaphragm – now I have to do a deep dive into that. It was such an amazing opportunity to listen to everyone. I’m sure I sounded like an over- excited fan girl…because I am. Much appreciation for everyone’s incredible experience, dedication to horses and the education of others. I’m very grateful to have this opportunity to learn more.
Dr. Haussler’s webinar on the hyoid apparatus is a masterful blend of anatomy education, veterinary insights, research review, and critical enquiry. It is a must-attend for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of this topic and its implications for the horse’s health and performance.
Very good webinar, lots of detail which, as a consummate learner, I personally appreciate. I will want to study this webinar again because learning is an incremental process, and there’s so much to learn. Also looking forward to hearing more about assessments and treatment options.
