Transitions from Spring to Summer

We started our discussion on acupressure with Jesse McCowan of Birch Animal Wellness and Tallgrass Canada in episode on March 10 of this year. Today we are going to look specifically at the use of acupressure to help our horses transition from Spring to Summer season. Transitions are something we all experience, a process or period of changing from one state or condition to another. The transitions from one season to season can be especially difficult for a horse when they grow or shed their coats, have hormonal influx or depletion, gain or loose weight, and more. All of that within their own bodies, let alone the transitions happening around them with environment and herd mates. So it’s no wonder that these transition times are often more stressful on them. Today we will discuss transitions from spring to summer as we near the summer equinox here in the northern hemisphere. We have Jesse McCowan joining us again as well as Carol Yates, certified in acupressure for equines by the Tallgrass Animal Acupressure Institute who works here in southern Alberta. Additionally they have given the bonus of a chart of reference for points you can use with your own horses. This will be posted on our social media sites as well as our YouTube channel.

It is through open conversation that we can grow this industry with knowledge and understanding of our equine partners. Ever evolving along with tried and true methods of horse husbandry, it’s by learning from one another that we will elevate the care of these amazing animals and partners.
