Advancing Performance Horse Care with Dr. Liberty Getman: Regenerative Medicine & Emerging Research

Fri, 01 May 2026 11:00:00 -0400

Pegasus Co-Founder Jen Tankel is joined by Dr. Liberty Getman, DVM, DACVS, Equine Technical Services with Zoetis.

As advancements in equine medicine continue to evolve, regenerative medicine devices are playing an increasingly important role in supporting performance horses.

In this episode, Dr. Liberty Getman breaks down how these devices are used in practice today, from joint therapies to the research guiding treatment decisions. We explore how veterinarians approach different options, what horse owners can expect from treatment timelines, and why factors like metabolic health and conditions like PPID matter more than many realize.

This conversation brings clarity to a complex topic, helping owners and competitors better understand the science behind longevity, soundness, and performance.

Has your horse experienced lameness? Did you know that your veterinarian
can use the healing power of your horse’s own blood to help manage
lameness, joint pain, and more? The Pro-Stride ® APS regenerative
medicine device is designed to help keep horses feeling and performing
their best. Ask your vet if Pro-Stride APS may be a great option to help
support your horse’s joint health journey. Zoetis is always by
your side in the barn, down the centerline, and everywhere in between.

Dr. Abby Sage on Deworming: What Horse Owners Need to Know (AAEP Update)

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 17:00:00 -0400

Pegasus Co-Founder Jen Tankel is joined by Dr. Abby Sage, VMD, MS, DACVIM, Equine Technical Services Veterinarian with Zoetis.

As deworming practices evolve, what horse owners think they should be doing may no longer be best practice. In this episode, Dr. Sage breaks down the latest American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP) guidelines and what they actually mean for your horse. From why “more dewormer” isn’t always better to how fecal egg counts are changing the game, this conversation covers the science behind smarter, more targeted parasite control so you can make informed decisions heading into the grazing season.

Have you ever wondered, “how much dewormer does my horse actually need?” Healthy adult horses may need less than you think. But not all active ingredients are the same. Use Quest® Gel, with moxidectin, for the early grazing season, and Quest® Plus Gel, with moxidectin and praziquantel, for the late grazing season. Visit ZoetisEquine.com for more deworming resources. Consult your veterinarian for assistance in the diagnosis, treatment, and control of parasitism.

Do not use Quest Gel or Quest Plus Gel in foals less than 6 months of age or in sick, debilitated and underweight horses. Do not use these products in other animal species, as severe adverse reactions, including fatalities in dogs, may result. Consult your veterinarian for assistance in the diagnosis, treatment, and control of parasitism.

Built to Fit: The Schleese Saddlery Story

Thu, 19 Jun 2025 14:00:00 -0400

The truth about saddle fitting will transform how you think about equestrian equipment forever. Master saddle maker Jochen Schleese pulls back the curtain on centuries of tradition to reveal shocking facts about how conventional saddles damage both horses and riders.

A defining moment came when Schleese's own competitive horse was eliminated from team selection due to mysterious, intermittent lameness. Years later, he witnessed groundbreaking research showing how traditional saddle designs slowly destroy shoulder cartilage – the exact issue that ended his horse's career. This revelation became his life's mission: to revolutionize saddle design using scientific principles rather than outdated traditions.

The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Schleese explains how a gynecologist's anatomical insights transformed saddle design for female riders. Despite women comprising the vast majority of equestrians worldwide, most saddles are still built around male pelvic structures, causing discomfort and potential health issues for women. Through pelvis casts and biomechanical studies, Schleese pioneered gender-specific designs that accommodate fundamental differences in human anatomy.

You'll discover why "follow the money" explains the prevalence of poorly fitted saddles, how to identify ethical versus unethical saddle fitters, and practical tips for finding equipment that serves both you and your horse. Whether you're a competitive rider or weekend enthusiast, this episode provides crucial knowledge to protect your horse's welfare and enhance your riding experience.

Head to https://schleese.com/ to learn more about scientifically-designed saddles that prioritize both horse anatomy and rider comfort.

Lyndsey Dillon: Buying & selling horses - a survival guide

Wed, 21 May 2025 08:00:00 -0400

Lyndsey Dillon, an equestrian lawyer based in Ireland with practicing certificates across multiple countries, shares her expertise on protecting all parties in horse transactions with special attention to riders' often overlooked interests.

If you buy and sell horses - even to a neighbor down the road - you don't want to miss this episode.

Key Themes and Takeaways

🧑‍⚖️ 0:07 – Riders Deserve Commission

Riders who produce and compete horses should receive a commission (~10%) upon sale.
If an owner resists putting that in writing, it’s a red flag they never intended to honor it.

🎙️ 0:37 – Overview of Episode

Covers: (1) Owner–Rider relationships, (2) Legal process of horse sales, (3) The role and risks of agents.

📍 2:05 – Lyndsey’s Background

Equine-focused lawyer, licensed in Ireland, England & Wales.
Primarily works remotely, attends select horse shows and consultations in person.

📘 5:18 – What Equine Lawyers Actually Do

Services include: liability waivers, NDAs (less powerful in Europe), bill of sale contracts, staff employment contracts, syndicate structures.
Her niche: Advocating for riders, who are often legally unrepresented yet central to the horse’s value.

🏇 11:27 – Rider Contracts and Commission Agreements

Lyndsey drafts agreements protecting riders’ rights to a future commission if a horse they’ve developed is sold—especially if sold shortly after being pulled from their program.

📚 13:09 – Equine Law is a Patchwork of Other Legal Fields

It blends litigation, contract law, tort law, employment law, and commercial law.
No formal “equine law” discipline in law school—must be self-taught through experience.

💸 15:28 – Riders Are Often Exploited Financially

Without contracts, riders lose rights to commissions or credit for increasing a horse’s value.
Protecting these interests early avoids major disputes later.

📈 17:45 – Commission Standards

10% is typical for riders, but can vary based on seniority, results, and negotiating power.
Riders are advised to ask early—most owners won’t volunteer it.

⚖️ 20:54 – Riders Often Don’t Feel Empowered to Ask

Many fear losing access to owners if they seem “difficult.”
Especially true for less wealthy riders who rely on owners for top horses.

🏢 23:53 – Most Riders Are Running Complex Businesses

Many riders manage staff, facilities, schedules, clients—yet rarely receive the legal protections afforded to owners and buyers.

📉 28:40 – Shortage of Knowledgeable Equine Lawyers

There’s demand, but quality matters. Lawyers need sport-specific insight to draft enforceable and relevant contracts.

✍️ 32:01 – Legal Nuance Requires Deep Industry Knowledge

Even within equine law, lawyers must understand the discipline—eventing vs racing vs show jumping require different approaches.

📄 36:30 – Lack of Paperwork Creates Room for Abuse

Many U.S. horse sales occur without formal contracts.
This enables unethical practices like inflated sale prices and hidden commissions.

⚖️ 38:53 – Lyndsey’s Seller Contract Approach

Emphasis on protecting sellers:
Buyer assumes liability once the horse loads.
Veterinary report must be independently conducted.
Entire agreement clauses avoid reliance on informal verbal claims.

🌍 47:14 – Selling to Americans Offers Legal Advantages

EU sellers face stricter consumer laws under the Consumer Rights Act.
U.S. buyers reduce seller liability—but also reduce buyer recourse.

🌐 51:38 – U.S. Buyers Can Request Joint J

Scott Neuman, AQHA - Western horse shows and the challenges they face

Tue, 25 Mar 2025 04:00:00 -0400

Scott Neuman, Director of Competitions and International Memberships for the American Quarter Horse Association, offers a candid look at the evolving landscape of Western equestrian competitions in this revealing conversation.

Neuman shares his eye-opening research that no horse show manager reported being able to run a profitable event with fewer than 100 stalls booked—a threshold that many smaller venues simply cannot reach. This startling reality frames our discussion about why local shows are disappearing while major events continue to grow.

The conversation traces how America's shift from family farming to corporate agriculture has fundamentally altered Western horse sports. As people moved from rural to urban settings, horse ownership transformed from an affordable backyard activity to an expensive proposition requiring boarding facilities. This economic shift created a cascade effect: higher costs led to demand for better quality horses, which in turn drove competitors toward premium show venues with superior amenities.

Despite these challenges, Neuman highlights innovative solutions the AQHA has implemented, including popular ranch-style events that connect back to Quarter Horses' heritage, beginner divisions that allow weekend leasing, and versatility competitions that appeal to a broad audience. These adaptations are helping maintain the crucial "pyramid" structure of the sport, where a broad base of participants eventually feeds the upper echelons of competition.

Perhaps most fascinating is Neuman's insight into Western riding's international growth, particularly in Mexico, Brazil, and surprisingly, parts of Asia. The "Yellowstone effect" has reinvigorated global interest in ranch activities and Western horsemanship, creating opportunities for American expertise abroad.

Whether you're a competitor, show manager, or equine business owner, this episode delivers crucial perspective on where Western horse sports have been and where they're headed. Listen now to understand the market forces shaping the industry's future.
