The Canter Therapy Podcast is an equestrian show hosted by Dr. Shelley Appleton (Calm Willing Confident Horses) and Kathryn Christieson (Firenza Park). It focuses on practical horsemanship, equine health, and debunking common myths. Episodes feature expert interviews and real-world training advice.
A podcast hosted by Dr. Shelley Appleton of Calm Willing Confident Horses and Kathryn Christieson of Firenza Park Equine Services on all things horse and learning.
Why is one horse constantly itchy while another is completely unaffected? And could allergies be behind problems like head shaking, coughing, poor performance or changes in behaviour?
In this fantastic episode, Shelley and Kat are joined by Equine Dermatology Vet Dr Talia Morgan from Veterinary Dermatology Specialists in Western Australia to unpack the surprisingly complex world of equine allergies and skin disease.
We explore Queensland itch, the fascinating “allergy bucket”, asthma, head shaking, greasy heel, skin-barrier health, allergy testing and immunotherapy, plus loads of practical advice for everyday horse management.
This episode is packed with those wonderful “I didn’t know that!” moments and may completely change the way you think about your horse’s skin.
