For traditional veterinary medical care comments, see this video: • Horse Runny Nose? Before You Give Antibiot...

What a TBT Practitioner Does for a Snotty Nose 🐴

Meet Betty. Snotty nose. Antibiotics. Better. Then... snotty nose again. More antibiotics. Better. Then snotty again.

Sound familiar?

At some point you have to stop and ask — why does this keep coming back?

That question is exactly where TBT starts. And the answer? It's probably not what you'd expect.

In this video, I walk you through what a Tucker BioKinetic Technique practitioner actually does when they show up to a horse like Betty — and the very first thing we do might surprise you.

Hint: it has nothing to do with the nose.

What happened with Betty after one TBT session is something her owner definitely didn't see coming. (Neither did Betty, probably. 😄)

Listen to find out. In this podcast you'll learn:

➡️ Why recurring horse nasal discharge keeps coming back even after antibiotics
➡️ How TBT finds the root cause — and why it's often nowhere near the nose
➡️ What natural horse healing looks like from a veterinarian's perspective ➡️ What Betty's owner saw the very next day after her first TBT session

If your horse has any of these, this video is for you: 🐴 Chronic runny nose / nasal discharge in horses 🐴 Horse keeps getting snotty nose after antibiotics 🐴 Recurring equine upper respiratory infection 🐴 Horse sinus infection not responding to treatment 🐴 Looking for holistic equine health alternatives 🐴 Interested in natural horse healing and energy work 🐴 Wondering if there's a root cause your vet keeps missing

As an equine veterinarian who has treated over 1,000 horses, here’s everything you need to know about chronic colic in horses, from the first signs of colic in horses that most owners miss, to when horse colic surgery is actually necessary, and what horse colic treatment options actually work long term.

Horse colic is the number one killer of horses. But what is colic in horses exactly, and why do some horses keep getting colic? I cover the most common horse colic symptoms, how to know your horse has colic before it becomes an emergency, and the honest answers your horse vet doesn't always have time to give you. This guide helps you understand your horse's health and make smarter decisions before, during, and after a colic episode.

The Triple Crown looks glamorous.

But there's a lot happening behind the scenes that most people never see.

As a vet who's treated over 10,000 horses — including racehorses — I put together 10 facts the industry would rather keep quiet.

Things like:

• Up to 80% of racehorses race on legal drugs
• Up to 90% have stomach ulcers
• Racing a 2-year-old is the biological equivalent of training a 10-year-old child as a pro athlete
• Tens of thousands of racehorses disappear from the record every year
• A horse can have a clean X-ray and still be weeks away from a fatal fracture

And yes — I also share what the industry is actually getting right. Because to be fair, some real progress is happening. It's complicated.

Is horse racing cruel? Sometimes, yes. Is it also funding equine research that's saving horses' lives? Also yes.

Both things are true.

I break down all 10 facts — with the science, the history, and my honest take as a vet — in my latest podcast.

Many times in my career, when I went to work on a horse, the owner would warn me that the horse was headshy:

"That's just how she is....she's always been that way....everything I've tried to desensitize her doesn't work."

This podcast talks about the real causes of headshyness, including what you can try to fix it yourself.

But what I'd really like you to see here is that this is true for every weird horse behavior.

That is, what we may think of as "normal"....is not normal.

What we may think of as "old age"....is not old age.

It's actually difficult to find a truly normal, healthy horse anymore.

But it can be done!

So let's start with headshyness.

Feel free to comment with any questions or thoughts you have.

If your horse seems resistant or uncomfortable when riding, there might be something going on you haven't considered yet.

And it's not about you being a "bad" rider.

After 30 years as a horse vet, I've learned something important about bits that most riders simply don't know:

Even the mildest bit creates tension throughout your horse's entire body.

Here's why:

The bit affects the tongue... which connects to the hyoid apparatus... which connects to muscles running all the way through the chest, shoulders, abdomen, and pelvis.

It's all connected.

And that tension? It travels through your horse's whole body - making it harder for them to move freely, relax, and respond the way you want.

This explains SO much about why horses struggle with things they can do easily when free lunging.

Now, I'm not saying everyone needs to go bitless tomorrow.

But understanding what's actually happening helps you make better choices for your horse.

I put together a podcast that walks you through:

• How bits affect your horse's body (the full picture)
• Signs your horse might be uncomfortable
• What you can do to help (whether you use a bit or not)
• How to transition toward gentler options when you're ready

After 30 years working with sport horses, I've learned something most vets won't tell you:

It's not just about the physical build. It's about the horse's personality.

Here are three things that might surprise you:

#1: Why Thoroughbreds WANT to Win

It's not just the long legs and lung capacity.

Top racehorses have a Wood personality. They're stubborn, goal-driven, and they care about being first.

A Fire personality horse? Gets bored halfway through. No joke.

#2: "Cow Sense" Is Real

Over 96% of cutting horses are Quarter Horses because they're born knowing how to cut cows.

You don't teach it. They just do it.

Like Border Collies with sheep.

#3: Reining Horses Pay a Price

Those sliding stops look incredible.

But most reining horses are washed up by age 4 to 6.

Their Earth personality makes them too tolerant... they'll keep going even when their bodies are breaking down.

In this podcast, I cover 10 disciplines and reveal the one thing that matters MORE than breed for keeping your horse sound long-term.

I just recorded a podcast that I think you're really going to want to hear - especially if you know anyone dealing with a horse diagnosed with juvenile arthritis.

Here's the deal...

I got an email from someone whose rescued horse was told he'd never be ridden. The vet said it was just a matter of waiting for the joints to "fuse" and that was that.

But here's what I discovered when I looked at this case...

In this podcast, I walk you through exactly what's REALLY going on with juvenile arthritis (spoiler: it's not what you think), and more importantly - what can actually be done about it.

I talk about:

• The difference between what X-rays show and what's actually happening inside the joint
• Why the "wait for fusion" approach might not be your only option
• The surprising organ that's behind most arthritis issues (hint: it's not the joints themselves)
• How I approach these cases using the Tucker BioKinetic Technique

This isn't some complicated medical lecture. I keep it simple and straightforward, just like we're having a conversation.
