Advanced Online Lecture on Equine Cushing Syndrome – Alternative Approaches in Horse Treatment
Are you worried about your horse’s hooves or recurring soreness that never seems to resolve?
Is your horse showing signs of Cushing’s—but something doesn’t quite add up?
Do you want to understand what’s really behind one of the most frequent metabolic diagnoses in older horses?
Then this lecture is for you.
Our ADVANCED online lecture “Equine Cushing Syndrome – Alternative Approaches in Horse Treatment” explains the difference between true Cushing’s (pituitary adenoma) and pseudo-Cushing’s caused by chronic stress, metabolic imbalance, or hormonal dysregulation. Designed for dedicated horse owners, trainers, and equine professionals, this lecture uncovers how cortisol, ACTH, and thyroid function interact—and how natural management, feeding, and stress reduction can support long-term balance without relying solely on medication.
