Real horses, real problems—and a fresh perspective on what might be going on beneath the surface. In this special two-part Dear Horse World episode, we’re back with Dr. John Langlois, an equine veterinarian with over 40 years of experience who now works exclusively in Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM). After introducing us to the world of acupuncture, herbs, and energy balancing in our first conversation, Dr. Langlois returns to answer your questions. We invited listeners to submit their horse’s health challenges—and in this first instalment, we cover three fascinating case studies: - A horse in New Zealand struggling with heat-induced asthma - A stallion with persistent musculoskeletal pain and no clear diagnosis - A mare with a chronic cough and intermittent skin itching Dr. Langlois brings a TCVM lens to each case, exploring how ancient practices like acupuncture and herbal medicine can help identify root imbalances and support healing—especially when conventional approaches fall short. Whether you’re TCVM-curious or navigating complex issues with your own horse, this episode offers insight, practical advice, and a thoughtful new way of understanding equine health. 👉 Stay tuned for Part 2, where we dive into more listener-submitted cases.
