Tangentially related: We used to have a wonderful pony named Rusty. He was a dog in horse form. What a character. He looooved licking your hands. We used to catch his tongue for fun but he just kept licking! He would drink out of the hose if you held it up for him. He loved root beer the one time we gave him a little. He once dug a hole and peed in it while I was astride him, standing while watching people ride in the saddle club arena. He was also known as the "Gas Powered Pony" as he was always farting and pooping on the run while he was ridden. He lived with hypothyroidism. Basically his only treatment was a supplement added to his feed to keep it in check. I hope what you're doing with Muffin now is working for you :)

[@waverlyrose8308]

we all love little Rosie and Nika

[@peggypapczun2906]

I have been around horses since I was 7 years old, and am still learning about them thanks to your wonderful videos. A great channel, Brandi, and such sweet horses!

[@VersatileHorsemanship]

Peggy Papczun thank you, I’m glad you enjoy my videos. I’ve had horses since birth and I feel like I’ve merely skimmed the surface. There’s so much to learn!

[@sarahcote4724]

Love the vet explaining Cushings. A gelding where I work has it, and is on pergolide. He has such thick and curled hair and never sheds out normally, a perfect example of what to look for.

[@VersatileHorsemanship]

thank you, we are very fortunate to have such wonderful vets

[@hannahboalt1410]

My dog has Cushings! It makes him gain weight really easily and it makes him really hungry and thirsty which doesn't help with the weight issue. He is definitely pretty chunky because of it and has some different fat deposits just like what the vet said. As someone who hopes that they'll have horses in the future (as an adult) and who works at a stable its interesting to hear that horses have something similar. Your videos are absolutely amazing and I love watching them, keep up the amazing work!

[@VersatileHorsemanship]

Thank you for the kind words! I never heard of cushings in dogs or humans until we did this video

[@melissaannspake7990]

Lol, it’s so funny you talking about having Rosy in your truck. When I went to pick up my little Stallion (26” red and white pinto) I brought him home in the back of my GMC Jimmy. When I stopped to refuel and this elderly couple was there in a Motorhome. I heard her yell to her husband the following ‘Harold, there’s a horse in that car over there’ in return his reply was ‘shut up Mabel, you really need to lay off the sauce’. I nearly died!

[@VersatileHorsemanship]

Melissa Ann Pate that’s a fantastic story 😂

[@melissaannspake7990]

Versatile Horsemanship it’s been years ago.. Rocky will be 29 this Summer. I no longer own him, I sold him back to his breeder to add another Stallion to his herd. He was the absolute best horse ever. He was cute a could be and up until these last few years when he’s no longer being shown and kept in shape, he really never weighed much more than about 70 pounds. I need to find my old pictures when he was all clipped and pretty

[@jessicarissin]

My horse has PPID/Cushing and the main give away for him was his slightly longer coat which started to grow back too soon with a tiny bit of lameness in the late summer/ fall. From there he developed abscesses. Hope the best for your mare ❤️!

[@Cissy2cute]

Our Rocky had Cushings. He grew such a long, curly coat. I wish there was a cure for that disease. Hope your horse will feel OK. It's a hard journey, I must tell the truth. :( Is he a quarter horse? They seem to have a higher risk for some reason.

[@sassafrasstree7449]

Great video. I'm doing a diploma in horse management-care. Learning TPR this module- i know it's basic but I looovvvveeee it. Love this video. Great vet. Clear explanation.

[@dorothywright2743]

Please keep us notified of the birth...would hate to miss it

[@gracea9011]

Muffin is absolutely adorable. ( I can’t remember if that’s the one that you were talking about the cushings disease)

[@VersatileHorsemanship]

yes, thats muffin. I'm pretty sure shes fine. shes shedding out beautifully

[@gracea9011]

Versatile Horsemanship that’s great.

[@Blk_Velvet]

Hello ma’am, I just wanted to say that your videos taught me a lot about horses that I never knew because I never owned one but have loved horses my whole life. Also you’re very pretty and very knowledgeable 😊 Jesus saves God bless! 🌈🕊

[@VersatileHorsemanship]

Julia WhiteHorse thank you! I’m glad you enjoy my videos 😊

[@SN-of5tu]

Hello! What breed and coloration are Kitty and Nika? I know dapple is a kind of pattern on horses, but Kitty has spots like pinto (Paint?) horses. Also, is it possible for a mare to get scared/skittish if the foal kicks too hard? Its super cool to see this process

[@VersatileHorsemanship]

Cool Spool Nika is a registered quarter horse, Miss Kitty is a not registered so we call her a pinto (she’s half paint, quarter horse, and a little bit of Arab). I have watched Nika jump when the foal gave her a big kick. I can relate, my kids both kicked enough to make me jump.

[@SN-of5tu]

@@VersatileHorsemanship That's so cool. I'm a big fan of paints since they come in so many colors! Thank you once again for documenting Nika's pregnancy. It's super interesting and fascinating to see!

[@polo4life157]

What saddle brand is the saddle you have on muffin

[@VersatileHorsemanship]

Polo4life 15 it’s an Abetta synthetic saddle.

[@suzystone244]

Baby pokes back.....I'm Hyffie...lemme aloooooone❤

[@kkdoc7864]

ACTH is actually THE Pituitary hormone that beats on the adrenals to produce steroids in the outer cortex (of humans). If it is elevated, it usually means the pituitary is making too much. The level being normal doesn’t tell you if the adrenals are making enough corticosteroids or not, unfortunately. If it’s normal, the system can still be broken. The effect that you see in the horse or human is all the result of making too much corticosteroids in this disease. That problem can either originate in the adrenals where the steroids are made and released, or from the pituitary in the brain (central command) where ACTH is ignoring the fact that enough steroids are circulating. This circle works on a negative feedback mechanism like so many hormonal systems. The pituitary should recognize when there is enough steroid out in the body which normally shuts down the production of ACTH. However, if the pituitary is the problem, ACTH will continue to force the adrenals to make more steroids than are needed and the outward signs of that are exhibited in the animal as described. Really fascinating!

[@VersatileHorsemanship]

kk doc totally over my head 😂

[@kkdoc7864]

Versatile Horsemanship Darn. I just love to teach. I’ll restrain myself lol.

[@janethedberg9581]

Your cat is awfully sweet.

[@VersatileHorsemanship]
