Do you find it difficult to find “safe" forage or feed for your metabolic equine? In this lecture we
will explain how different types of carbohydrates do (or do not) affect equine glucose and
insulin, and how to use forage analysis results to determine safety.

Where: Zoom Live Meeting and recorded for later viewing.
What: Each topic has 30 minutes of lecture and 30 minutes for always popular Q&A.
Cost: $30 each webinar includes one-year of video access to individual topic.

Join Saxon Alexandra of Actuality Equine in this webinar to explore the relationship between fascial function, hoof care, and posture in horses with low heels and negative plantar angles (NPA).


This webinar will build upon the concepts discussed in the Collaboration Between Hoof Care Professionals & Equine Bodyworkers webinar, focusing on practical application through real-world case studies and collaborative problem-solving between bodyworkers and hoof care practitioners.

Through the lens of anatomy, biomechanics, and fascial theory, Saxon will demonstrate how the front limb fascial chains, dorsal and ventral lines, and hind limbs interact, influencing posture, movement, and hoof form. Drawing from their collaborative work with PHCP Practitioner Micaela McNulty, Saxon will share insights from shared client cases and how coordinated care can support lasting change.

Saxon will also explore the many factors that can influence NPA, including trim cycle length, trim interventions, hoof protection choices, diet, management practices, and movement. Attendees will leave this webinar with a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of the horse’s body and practical considerations for supporting horses with NPA.

Saxon Alexandra of Actuality Equine, (they/them) is a non-binary, nationally-recognized equine structural integrator and massage therapist, and anatomy educator based in Vermont, United States. Their resume in biochemistry includes lab tech work on projects examining the modulation of the mammalian circadian clock through extracellular protein signaling, optimizing organic pesticide development, and managing conservation genetics of protected ginseng populations. After leaving academia to pursue more freedom for their gender expression, they rediscovered their childhood equine passion through grooming for FEI eventers, USEA stewarding, and rehabbing and retraining ex-racehorses in Aiken, SC.

This time in the sporthorse industry combined with their rigorous academic ethics training led Saxon to develop growing concern with modern sporthorse practices. After shadowing an equine osteopath and visiting The Equus-Soma Osteology center, they made the choice to pursue equine bodywork through The Equine Institute’s Advanced Equine Fascial Integration Therapy (EFIT) training program, pursue NBCAAM certification, and become more involved with the research and education work at Equus-Soma.

Saxon is the owner of Actuality Equine Structural Integration, and an educational docent and dissection team member with Equus-Soma Osteology and Anatomy learning center. Their goals in their practice are to empower equine guardians and professionals by making equine science education accessible.
