Many supplements make outrageous claims, only to find an ingredients list that doesn't match. For once we found and get to take a look at a supplement that appears to not only matches its claims, but has the research to back it up. That supplement is Vitamin E; more specifically Nano E. Are the claims about it being water-soluble true, should you be using this to treat EPM, and can you really see results as soon as in four days?  Follow along with us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/inthebarn.pod/ If you have any questions, comments or concerns let us know [email protected] Resources https://ker.com/about-us/ https://ker.com/antioxidants/nano-e/ https://thehorse.com/128336/usef-names-kentucky-equine-research-as-official-equine-nutritionist/ https://www.drugs.com/vet/nano-e-can.html https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdfdirect/10.1111/jvim.15643https://ker.com/published/form-of-alpha-tocopherol-affects-vitamin-e-bioavailability-in-thoroughbred-horses/?highlight=vitamin%20E https://ker.com/equinews/tokyo-olympics-feed-and-forage-facts/ https://ker.com/about-us/staff/ https://kppusa.com/2012/07/24/lesson-lecithin/ https://www.drugs.com/inactive/citric-acid-anhydrous-397.html https://ker.com/wp-content/uploads/Oral-Water-Soluble-Vitamin-E-Supplementation-of-the-Mare-in-Late-Gestation-Its-Effects-on-Serum-Vitamin-E-Levels-in-the-Pre-and-Postpartum-Mare-and-the-Neonate-A-Preliminary-Investig.pdf?highlight=vitamin%20E https://ker.com/wp-content/uploads/Oral-Water-Soluble-Vitamin-E-Supplementation-of-the-Mare-in-Late-Gestation-Its-Effects-on-Serum-Vitamin-E-Levels-in-the-Pre-and-Postpartum-Mare-and-the-Neonate-A-Preliminary-Investig.pdf?highlight=vitamin%20E https://www.smartpakequine.com/images/pdf/26485_Nano-E_Research.pdf https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Joe-Pagan/publication/237672521_Tocopherol_form_affects_vitamin_E/links/541dada20cf2218008d1d56e/Tocopherol-form-affects-vitamin-E.pdf https://www.drugs.com/inactive/polysorbate-80-372.html (Please reach out for the remainder of our resources!

Pick up your latest equestrian magazine, without fail you will see multiple, full page advertisements about hock injections. Walk down the barn aisle at your next show and simply listen to how many other riders are considering hock injections, have had them recommended by their vet, or have already begun utilizing them. Hock injections are used across the board in just about every barn regardless if you're an eventer, show jumper, dressage rider, or barrel racer. Today we ask and answer the question on when hock injections should come into the picture and what is safe on the market to inject. It may surprise you to learn that some of the most highly recommended injections are not FDA approved for the hock and others are having their ingredients illegal smuggled into the U.S. to be sold alongside other harmful drugs.

This week, we decided to take a detour and discuss some popular articles we spotted being shared across Facebook a few weeks ago. It can feel very frustrating and alienating when prominent trainers use various language to discredit you as a rider, a horse person, and call you a wimp. We take a look at what some of this language is, how it perpetuates such negative views in the horse world, and what we can do to change it. Of course, it wouldn't be an In The Barn episode without a dash of research on wether or not different training methods are valid...or if we should just stick to the same old ways, day after day.  Follow along with us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/inthebarn.pod/ If you have any questions, comments or concerns let us know [email protected] Resources https://www.researchgate.net/publication/349158303_From_the_Horse%27s_Perspective_Investigating_Attachment_Behaviour_and_the_Effect_of_Training_Method_on_Fear_Reactions_and_Ease_of_Handling-A_Pilot_Study

With countless fecal test options on the market, WE the consumers want to know which is actually the best and perhaps which ones we should avoid. Between the Mcmaster, Modified Wisconsin, and Parasight, we got a good picture of what fecal tests on the market look like and what sort of complications you can expect. Not all Mcmaster tests came back the same, one company refused to disclose what type of test they run, and some tests took almost 3 weeks to get our results! Find out more in today's episode.

Deworming, is a topic that brings about a lot of questions and confusion. Should we still be deworming every 6-8 weeks? Why are our dewormers not nearly as effective? What happens if we go a year without deworming? We answer all these questions and more in todays episode all about the history of deworming and the practices that have lead us to where we are today!  FARMVET!

A truly unlucky race track, or did the "perfect" formula finally cause enough death and destruction to be noticed? Picking up right where we left off; it quickly became apparent that this year at the Santa Anita Race Track is shaping up to be just as deadly as the previous years. Between poor footing, obscene number of starts, and pressure coming from management. It's clear those who own Santa Anita care only for gambling and couldn't care less as to which horse dies next.  Follow along with us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/inthebarn.pod/ If you have any questions, comments or concerns let us know [email protected] Resources https://web.northeastern.edu/gameplan/2019/10/30/are-horse-racing-deaths-at-santa-anita-statistically-out-of-the-ordinary/ https://en.as.com/en/2021/12/07/other_sports/1638855620_335149.html https://www.latimes.com/sports/story/2021-02-28/jockey-hospitalized-horse-euthanized-santa-anita https://aaep.org/sites/default/files/issues/proceedings-10proceedings-z9100110000405.pdf https://www.thoroughbreddailynews.com/report-stronach-group-considering-sale-of-some-assets/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stronach_Group https://spectrumnews1.com/ca/la-west/sports/2022/05/15/second-horse-dies-in-two-days-at-santa-anita-park https://www.chrb.ca.gov/veterinary_reports/CHRB-Santa-Anita-Fatalities-Report-3-10-20.pdf https://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/238315/chrb-report-on-equine-fatality-rates-criticized https://jockeyclub.com/pdfs/eid/SantaAnita.pdf https://www.sgvtribune.com/2012/03/14/hbo-suspends-filming-with-horses-at-santa-anita-park-on-luck-drama/ https://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/238830/racing-executive-ritvo-leaves-the-stronach-group https://www.robesonian.com/archive/67701/view-full_story-1653602-article-fire_at_fex_plant_still_burning (we have so many more resources we used, please reach out and ask for them! simply could not fit them all in the text box)

Is it the perfect formula for money and death, or simply an unlucky race track? In true In The Barn fashion we take it all the way back to the beginning of the Santa Anita Race Track to see what history has to tell us. It may not surprise you to find out that Santa Anita has had a turbulent history long before 2019 and the general public learned of its name.  Follow along with us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/inthebarn.pod/ If you have any questions, comments or concerns let us know [email protected] Resources https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/26/sports/santa-anita-horse-deaths.html https://www.arcadiaca.gov/enrich/arcadia_public_library/gilb_museum_of_arcadia_heritage/elias_jackson__lucky__baldwin.php https://www.newspapers.com/image/77943857/?terms=%22Lucky%20Baldwin%22%20i%20dont%20know&match=1 https://www.newspapers.com/image/42353084/?terms=%22Lucky%20Baldwin%22Land&match=1 https://www.britannica.com/topic/pool-gambling https://www.newspapers.com/image/46464418/?terms=%22Horse%20Racing%22&match=1 https://www.newspapers.com/image/87819627/?terms=%22Horse%20Racing%22%20Baldwin&match=1 https://www.newspapers.com/image/465996476/?terms=%22Horse%20Racing%22%20arcadia&match=1 https://www.newspapers.com/image/380182824/?terms=%22Horse%20Racing%22%20Arcadia&match=1 https://www.newspapers.com/image/380182824/?terms=%22Horse%20Racing%22%20Arcadia&match=1 https://www.newspapers.com/image/380259422/?terms=%22walker-Otis%22&match=1 https://www.newspapers.com/image/607036262/?terms=%27fire%20arcadia%22%20racetrack&match=1 https://www.newspapers.com/image/616900694/?terms=%22Anita%20Baldwin%22%20Vote&match=1 https://www.newspapers.com/image/380372719/ https://www.newspapers.com/image/458150261/?terms=%22Santa%20Anita%20Track%22%20investigation&match=1 https://www.newspapers.com/image/629634534/?terms=%22Santa%20Anita%20Track%22%20investigation&match=1 (we have dozens more resources, please reach out for the rest, simply couldn't fit them all)

With many five star events looming in the future, you know you'll soon be flooded with many ads for gear, top level riders are using. Some of the most popular items you will see popping up on cross country day are the FLAIR nasal strips, and the HorseWare ice-vibe boots. Which begs the question, do these products actually work? Can FLAIR nasal strips really help horses breath better? And do ice-vibe boots do everything their add claims it can?

How much protein, fiber, and fat should your horse get in a day? It's a pretty simple question, that seems like it should have a readily available answer. The problem is that this answer and many more concerning our horses diets and the research about it, are kept behind a pay wall. Join us as we piece together what our horses grain should actually contain and if brands like Purina, Nutrena, Dumor, and Triple Crown are following through.
