Ep 8 - Treat Your Horse Like An Athlete with Brigitte Meyer of Vitality Equine - a podcast by Presented by Western Twist Media

Today on Episode 8 of the Cutting Edge Podcast we switch it up and bring you an informative podcast around the topic of equine health and wellness with equine massage therapist, Brigitte Meyer of Vitality Equine. Brigitte brings a wealth of knowledge to the podcast, with a Bachelor of Science in Biology, and a successful practice here in Alberta, the gal knows what she's talking about!

Brigitte and I talk the biomechanics behind the cutting horse, the main movements they exhibit in the show pen and we break down the specialized skill of the "rollback." Brigitte shares with us the key muscle groups that cutters use, as well as the ideal conformation for a cutting horse. Hint - it's the Quarter Horse, but can anyone tell me why?! Finally, we round out the podcast discussing training, conditioning, recovery and injury prevention - all topics near and dear to any cutters heart.
