Customer Reviews
Great Podcast!!!
This was an excellent Podcast! I have all ready learned more from Dr. Hayes than I have from other horse-savvy associates with years of experience. She has a great teaching style and I am happy to learn from her, rather than from my mistakes.
The best advice, and it's totally free.
I wish I'd known about this podcast a long time ago. I don't know why Dr. Hayes does this for free, but I'm grateful she does. Her advice is excellent, and I've never gotten such clear, concise, logical information anywhere else -- at considerable expense. This is one vet who really understands what it's like to live with horses. She's got the "book learning" but she's also got the practical knowledge, and she knows how to tell it in a way that it's clear and understandable and interesting no matter how much, or how little, experience you have.
Excellent reference information for the concerned horse owner
This is an outstanding podcast -- a must for horse owners of any discipline. Dr Hayes is direct and to the point. Extremely helpful information shared in an understandable manner. I have four horses, all but one of which is either geriatric (32 & 31) or has medical issues (laminitis). Altho I've spend years reading and listening to much of the informatio out there, these podcasts have something extra. I've been able to apply this information to the benefit of my horses. I've learned so much from her podcasts I went to the website and ordered three of her books.
