“If people start listening to you, there’ll be no horses left for classical training.”
Seriously?

In this episode, we take a closer look at why statements like this still appear in the horse world –
and what they reveal about our relationship with knowledge, responsibility, and change.

🔍 What it’s about
In this episode, Celina Skogan openly addresses a topic many in the horse industry prefer to avoid:
the fear of knowledge – and the business model that has grown from it.

We talk about:
- Why not knowing can be frightening – and why that’s exactly where real progress...

On the podcast, we disscuss today Topline Syndrome. It´s everywhere right now. Each riding style claims its own recipe: more collection, head down, fascia release.

But if we look closer, we quickly realize: it’s not that simple.
In this new podcast episode, we look beyond the myths.
Because: we don’t see true health during training, but in moments of rest. Context is king.

I thought this topic had been covered long ago – but in practice, myths and dangerous half-truths about gastric issues in horses still come up every single day. That’s why, in this episode, we’re setting the record straight and sharing the latest scientific insights.
You’ll learn:
▶️ Why gastric problems are more the rule than the exception
▶️ Which therapies make sense – and which don’t
▶️ Why at Equidemia we always start by (not) excluding GI diseases
▶️ How stomach health affects your horse’s entire biomechanics

A teaching break doesn’t mean standing still! In this episode I share:

- Highlights: stress markers, gait analysis, Stable Core & pain workshop with Dr. Frauke Musial

- My seminar in Germany & new plans for the Masterclass
