Erica, Kristen and Leandra welcome our first guest, Dr. Shannon Pratt Phillips from North Carolina State University, and discuss her research aimed to encourage healthy weight in horses and ponies. Recently, Shannon attended the International Conference of Equine Exercise Physiology in Uppsala, Sweden, where she presented her ground-breaking data on how judges favor adiposity in athletic show ponies. What does that mean, exactly? Listen and find out all about it!
