Good things happen when people who share the same passion, values, and commitment to better horsemanship come together.We are excited to announce our collaboration with Sharp Sports Medicine!At Silver Lining Herbs, we believe that helping horses feel and perform their best starts with understanding the whole horse. That means looking beyond the obvious, asking the right questions, and bringing together knowledge, experience, and different perspectives to support better outcomes.This collaboration is about bringing education, experience, and a shared passion for the horse together. We are looking forward to what we can learn, share, and accomplish along the way.We have some exciting things in the works, and this is just the beginning!

Is your horse bleeding after exercise? You’re not alone.In this webinar, we dive deep into Exercise-Induced Pulmonary Hemorrhage (EIPH), commonly known as “bleeders.” Whether your horse has shown signs like coughing, nosebleeds, or poor performance recovery, or you’re just trying to understand this condition better, this is for you.👉 What you’ll learn:What causes EIPH in horses, common symptoms and warning signs, natural approaches to support respiratory health, and how to reduce the risk and support healing.🐴 This is a must-watch for barrel racers, racehorses, and high-performance athletes—plus anyone who just wants to take better care of their horse’s lungs.

As the seasons change, so do your horse's and dog's needs. Supporting the body’s natural detoxification processes can play an important role in maintaining overall health, especially as horses transition into fall.In this webinar, we take a closer look at the liver and kidneys, how they work together to filter and eliminate waste, and how seasonal changes can impact your horse’s overall wellness. We also discuss ways to support these natural processes through herbal care and everyday management.

If your horse coughs when you enter a dusty arena, struggles with seasonal irritation, has a chronic cough, or you’ve noticed changes in their breathing or performance, this webinar is for you.In this webinar Chance breaks down the most common respiratory challenges horse owners face and what may be happening inside the body. We discuss environmental and seasonal allergies, chronic respiratory conditions, exercise induced respiratory challenges, and ways to support healthy airways so your horse can breathe comfortably and perform at their best.Whether you have a performance horse, trail horse, or everyday partner, understanding respiratory health can help you recognize challenges early and create a proactive support plan.

Is your horse constantly swatting, stomping, itching, or getting worked up every time the bugs come out? From flies and mosquitoes to biting insects and the skin irritation they leave behind, bug season can be frustrating for both horses and their owners.In this webinar Chance takes a deeper look at what happens when bugs become more than just a nuisance. We discuss ways to help repel insects, support the skin after bites and irritation, and help your horse become less reactive to the constant irritation of bug season.Because managing bugs isn’t just about what’s happening on the outside. Supporting your horse from multiple angles can help them stay more comfortable, focused, and ready to do their job.

Has your horse been diagnosed with Cushing’s disease, or have you started noticing signs like a long hair coat, delayed shedding, weight changes, muscle loss, or recurring health challenges? Understanding what is happening inside your horse’s body is the first step toward better management.In this webinar, Chance Schuknecht from Silver Lining Herbs breaks down Pituitary Pars Intermedia Dysfunction (PPID), commonly known as Cushing’s disease in horses. We discuss the signs to watch for, how PPID affects the horse’s body, the connection between metabolic health and laminitis, and ways horse owners can support their senior horses through every season of life.Whether you have a senior companion, performance horse, or a horse newly diagnosed with PPID, this webinar provides practical education to help you better understand Cushing’s and create a supportive wellness plan.

If your horse coughs the second you hit a dusty arena, can't shake a chronic wheeze, or you've ever seen blood after a hard run — this one's for you.In this webinar Chance Schuknecht from Silver Lining Herbs breaks down the three respiratory issues we hear about most from horse owners: environmental & seasonal allergies, chronic conditions like heaves and COPD, and exercise-induced bleeding (EIPH). We cover what's actually happening in the body, how to tell these issues apart, and what's worked for real horses and riders including a full breakdown of how our Nolasix formula compares to Lasix for bleeders.

Why do feet and bone issues in horses keep coming back — even after you've tried everything? In this episode, we break down why these issues are rarely just structural. They're systemic, tied to circulation, inflammation, and how well your horse's body actually absorbs nutrients.You'll learn a simple 3-part framework for supporting long-term soundness: supporting circulation, reducing internal inflammation, and feeding the body what it can truly use. We'll also talk honestly about what real progress looks like — from the subtle shifts in the first week or two, to the lasting changes that show up over 60+ days.This one's for owners who are thinking long-term: managing aging, wear-and-tear, or recovery, and who are done chasing quick fixes. If you're looking for a same-day miracle or a diagnosis for a specific issue, this probably isn't it — but if you want to understand what actually supports your horse's body over time, listen in.

Nearly 1 in 5 horses over 15 has Cushing's disease (PPID) — and it often goes undiagnosed for years. In this episode, we break down what's actually happening when the pituitary gland goes into overdrive, why it creates a ripple effect through your horse's metabolism, immune system, hooves, and coat, and the early signs most owners miss (yes, even that coat that won't shed in spring).We'll walk through a whole-body approach to supporting horses with Cushing's — including which herbs support pituitary and thyroid function, and how to know if your horse needs one or both. We'll also take an honest look at how this approach compares to pergolide, because informed owners deserve every option on the table, not just the first one mentioned.And we'll share real stories, including one horse who lived a full, healthy life to age 34 — a decade with this kind of support instead of medication.If your horse is aging, has a woolly coat that won't cooperate, or you're just trying to understand what Cushing's really means for the years ahead, this episode is for you.

Laminitis can be one of the most painful and frustrating challenges horse owners face—but it doesn’t have to be a life sentence. In this episode of the Silver Lining Herbs Podcast, [Host Name] breaks down what laminitis really is, what causes it, and how you can approach prevention and recovery through a holistic lens. From hoof care and metabolic health to herbal strategies that target circulation, inflammation, and detox—this episode equips you with the knowledge to support your horse from the ground up.Whether you're dealing with a current flare-up or want to protect your horse before it starts, this episode offers practical, natural insights that make a difference.
