Show Notes

What if your horse’s “mystery lameness” isn’t in the legs at all? In this powerful episode, I’m joined by Juli Silliman of Denali Equine, a rehab and body soundness expert who’s changing how we look at performance issues in horses. We unpack the difference between soundness and function, how to spot the early signs of body lameness, and why your OTTB might actually be struggling with asymmetry caused by racing biomechanics—not just bad feet.

Juli shares her go-to tools for rehabbing the “not quite right” horse, from currying with purpose to the real reason your horse can’t canter. Whether you’re retraining a Thoroughbred or riding a seasoned competitor, this episode will change how you see your horse forever.
