Each day researchers at universities and other institutions around the world are investigating new ways to care for and understand our horses. Whether you realize it or not, the work they do influences your daily interactions with your horses. That formulation you scoop into feed buckets each morning? The supplements that support your horse’s joint health or metabolic function? That medication that saved your horse’s life? You can thank an equine researcher for being curious, having a question, and then seeking answers. In our new podcast series, “Equine Innovators,” we’ll talk to those researchers to learn more about their work.

Our guest for the first episode in this series is Martin Nielsen, DVM, PhD, Dipl. ACVM, an equine parasitologist and associate professor at the University of Kentucky’s Maxwell H. Gluck Equine Research Center, in Lexington. He also co-authored the American Association of Equine Practitioners’ Parasite Control Guidelines.

Starting Monday, Feb. 24, 2019. You can find “Equine Innovators” on TheHorse.com, iTunes, Spotify, and Google Podcast. This series is sponsored by Zoetis
