🍂 A Little Reminder: The Clocks Fall Back This Weekend! 🕰️

As we welcome shorter days and longer evenings, our routines with our horses inevitably shift. Less daylight may mean less riding time, but it doesn't mean less opportunity to support their well-being.

This is a great time to focus on the things that happen beyond the ride: groundwork, grooming, bodywork, nutrition, movement, and simply spending quality time together. The changing seasons don't have to mean less opportunity to support our horses. They simply give us a chance to approach that care a little differently.

Here's to embracing the quieter months. ☕❄️

We’re thrilled to welcome Dr. Martha M. Faraday, Ph.D., to our 3rd Annual Charisma's Landing Equine Wellness & Education Day on November 7th!

🐴 Presentation: “EPM Basics for Horse Owners”

Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis (EPM) can be a challenging and sometimes confusing condition for horse owners to navigate. Understanding the signs, testing, treatment, and recovery process can make a meaningful difference in how we support affected horses.

🌱 Recognizing early symptoms
🌱 Understanding and interpreting EPM titers
🌱 Exploring treatment options and why treatments may sometimes appear ineffective
🌱 Supporting nervous system recovery through nutrition and supplementation
🌱 Troubleshooting recurring symptoms and relapses
🌱 Strategies for prevention

Whether you're concerned about a horse currently experiencing neurological symptoms or simply want to be better prepared, this presentation will offer valuable insight into navigating EPM and supporting your horse's recovery.

🐴 Presenter Spotlight: Lupine Horsemanship - Vanessa Shultz | From Wild to Partner: The Journey of Starting a Mustang

We’re excited to welcome Vanessa Shultz to our 3rd Annual Charisma's Landing Equine Wellness & Education Day on November 7th!

🌿 Presentation: “From Wild to Partner: The Journey of Starting a Mustang”

What does it take to help a horse transition from life in the wild to a partnership with humans?

Vanessa will bring one of her own mustangs for a hands-on demonstration, sharing insight into the lives of wild mustangs and the transition they experience when entering domestic life. Through groundwork and round pen work, she’ll demonstrate how we can build communication, understanding, and trust while helping horses become more confident and well-rounded partners.

These techniques aren't just for mustangs! The principles behind thoughtful groundwork can benefit horses of all breeds and backgrounds, helping them develop better body awareness, confidence, and a stronger connection with their handlers.

Join us to learn more about the mustang's journey, the importance of understanding a horse's perspective, and how groundwork can lay the foundation for a lasting partnership.

We can't wait to bring you another opportunity to learn, connect, and see equine wellness from a different perspective!

We’re excited to welcome Dr. Erin Roddy of Poseidon Animal Health back as one of our presenters at our 3rd Annual Charisma's Landing Equine Wellness & Education Day on November 7th!

🐴 Presentation: Modern-Day Management of the Metabolic Horse

Modern horse keeping presents unique challenges, particularly for horses struggling with metabolic health. While diet, exercise, and housing are important pieces of the puzzle, there’s another factor we can’t afford to overlook: stress.

Dr. Roddy will explore the interconnected roles of nutrition, environment, exercise, and stress in supporting the metabolic horse. She’ll challenge us to look beyond conventional management practices and consider how we can better align our horses’ care with their natural needs to support physical health, emotional well-being, and overall resilience.

An avid showjumper, she has a lifelong passion for equestrian sport and the ways health and nutrition influence equine performance.

Dr. Roddy is passionate about researching the science behind diet, physiology, and disease and applying evidence-based knowledge to equine management, stress reduction, and performance. Having lived, competed, and practiced veterinary medicine throughout the United States, as well as in the United Kingdom and Australia, she brings a unique perspective on the intersection of veterinary medicine and the equestrian industry.

Dr. Roddy joined Poseidon Animal Health in 2008 and continues to combine her veterinary background and passion for horses to support equine health and wellness. She currently lives in Ocala, Florida, with her husband, who is also an equine veterinarian, their three Chihuahuas, and four horses!
