Are we riding our horses into chronic pain? With Wouter Demey - Podcast #14

Does a foaming mouth actually mean your horse is working well? Or is it a sign of stress? And did you know that restricting your horse's ability to chew might actually stop the blood flow in his head? 🤯 In this episode of TRT The Podcast, I sit down with Wouter Demey, a renowned veterinarian and specialist in equine dentistry. This conversation completely changed how I look at the anatomy of the horse's head. We dive deep into the evolution of the horse, why modern breeding is causing dental issues, and the shocking statistic that over 60% of ridden horses have bit injuries. Wouter explains the "second pump" mechanism, how the masseter muscle helps clear blood from the head, and why a tight noseband can be more damaging than you think. If you want to understand what is really happening inside your horse's mouth when you pick up the reins, you don't want to miss this one! --------------------------------------------- 📲 Follow Wouter Demey: Instagram →   / wouter.demey.1   Website → https://www.equide.be/nl/afspraak --------------------------------------------- 🎓 Learn more about the TRT Method & online training: https://trtmethod.com/youtube --------------------------------------------- 🎁 This episode is proudly supported by: Hofmag Therapy → https://www.hofmagtherapy.com/ --------------------------------------------- 🔔 Don’t forget to subscribe to stay updated on new episodes!
