Dr. Jay Mero- Winner of 2021 Haggin Cup
Created by Christina Hyke on July 28th 2021
Maybe you were one of the many people tracking the progress of the Tevis Cup that was this past weekend, July 24th 2021 under the last full moon of July? This moon is called the Rider’s moon and it is under this moon that the annual Tevis Cup was to be ridden. For the 66th annual riding of the Tevis Cup riders had to deal once again with smoke from wildfires. In the next few episodes of Endurance Horse Podcast we will be sharing short interviews with some of those brave soles who saddled up and faced what is arguably one of the toughest endurance events in the equestrian world. Tevis is often called the Grand Daddy of them all and has even inspired events as far as Australia and the Tom Quilty Gold Cup.
Tevis, unlike the Quilty historically is held at the same venue from year to year and although there maybe some slight changes in trail, many of the milestones have remained the same since 1955. Although many think of the Tevis of a climbing ride, likely due to the world famous Cougar Rock images, there is actually, by the numbers roughly 17,000 feet of elevation gain and over 21,000 feet of elevation loss. As you will hear mentioned in several of the interviews, some keys to conditioning for Tevis are hills, hills and hills.
In this episode of Endurance Horse podcast I am honored to bring to you an interview with the 2021 Haggin Cup winner Dr. Jay Mero. For those of you new to the podcast or new to endurance, the Haggin Cup is arguably the most prestigious of north american endurance. Riders from around the world travel to auburn, CA to tread along this historic and as some say, magical trail.
Without further ado,
I bring to you, Episode 45 of Endurance Horse Podcast, Tevis 2021 Haggin Cup winner, Dr. Jay Mero.

Stories of EPM & Dr. Sam Crosby, DVM
Part 2 of a 3 part series
Created by: Christina Hyke
April 2021
Most difficult day of my life spurred me into creating a three part series on EPM.
In Part 2 of 3 episodes with a focus to shed light on EPM. Most horse owners that have even heard of EPM equate this disease as showing up as a horse with a wobbly or drunken hind end, though there are many small, red flags that show up long before a sudden onset of EPM. EPM is an infection of protozoa that attack the central nervous system of the end host, the horse. Some varieties of this protozoa tend more towards attacking the muscle, to learn more tune into this episode of Endurance Horse Podcast where we will hear two more stories from horse owners followed by an interview with Dr. Sam Crosby, DVM of Crosby Equine Services.

We were blessed to get you a code for Karbo Combo probiotic, use this at the Karbo Store Website. I tried Karbo Combo for a follow up probiotic after Grace's treatment for EPM. Grace had a significant improvement with Karbo Combo and continues to be on it. We also tried Karbo Combo for JR, I did not notice any difference with this product. With JR we did see a big difference in him with SarStart as an aftercare follow up, and with Grace, not much difference on Sarstart. Each horse has it's own individual biome, and what benefits one greatly may not have a significant affect on the next horse.
Before starting Karbo Combo, Grace could not back up straight, she was swinging her left hind leg significantly and backing up almost sideways. For Grace, after about three weeks on Karbo Combo we noticed a significant difference with her. She eats it readily, and she tends to be picky with powders etc, Karbo is a pellet and we plan to keep her on it for the rest of the year or longer. The Karbo Store gave us a one time use coupon code for our listeners to try Karbo Combo. We reached out to them because not only had other horse owners dealing with EPM had great things to say about Karbo Combo, so did Dr. Sam Crosby. It was at their recommendation that we gave Karbo a try and wanted to see if we would get get a better deal for you to try it at least once with your horses and see if it helps:

Today Jim & I tell you about the most difficult day of my life. The day all horse and pet owners dread, the day you have to say goodbye.
This is a difficult episode, as it is about the loss of our beloved Houdini.
EPM will be the topic of the next three episodes. Part one is dedicated to allowing other horse owners to share with you their personal experiences with diagnosing and the ensuing battle with EPM. Most of them won, some did not.
