You can party like it’s 1999. But if you’re still feeding your horse like it’s 1999? That sweet feed, that corn oil, that “fat makes fat” mindset- it’s the nutritional equivalent of dial up internet. Slow, outdated, and guaranteed to break things. This episode slices through the BS that’s still hanging around barn aisles and feed rooms, from metabolic crashes and tying up to how your horse doesn’t even have a gallbladder and what that means for the feed you’re dumping in their bucket. Margaret gives it to you straight- what works, what wrecks gut health, and how to feed fat on purpose.
Margaret Parsons is here to cut the BS and get straight to how you can heal your horse’s pain, fix their behavior problems, and build a better relationship with them- all through hands on modalities and energy work. She’s flipped the script on horses written off by vets, saved owners tens of thousands, and helped create deep, lasting transformation with nothing but a pair of magic hands and a whole lot of strategy.
They won’t come out and say it, but here’s the quiet part out loud: the more powerful you become, the more they’ll try to contain you. Slap on a license. Add more rules. Call it “safety.” But when the system starts deciding who’s allowed to serve horses, what gets taught, and what’s “enough”- we lose the very thing that makes this work powerful: intuition, innovation, and lived skill.
This is not a rant. It’s a call to pay attention. Margaret breaks down how regulation in the bodywork world isn’t raising the bar- it’s reinforcing a ceiling. From the politics of accreditation to the quiet manipulation behind “official” titles, she exposes what gatekeeping really costs us- and how to keep your work effective, ethical, and free.

What if the thing you’re waiting for- more confidence, more clarity, more clients- only shows up after you move? This one is your permission slip to stop spinning in “I’m not ready” and start trusting what you already know. Margaret dives into the truth about why the hardest horses are often the ones that build you, why practitioners attract the cases they need, and how your biggest transformation doesn’t come from a new certifications- it comes from stepping in, showing up, and letting it be imperfect. You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to begin.

You’ve tried massage. You’ve tried chiro. Maybe you’ve even dabbled in craniosacral or red light. But if you’ve ever felt like your horse’s progress stalls- or like you’re chasing symptoms instead of healing the root- this episode is your wake up call.
Osteopathy isn’t just another modality. It’s the tree that all the other branches grew from- and it’s the framework that finally lets everything make sense. Margaret unpacks the origin, principles, and real life application of osteopathy in horses, exposing why isolated fixes won’t cut it and how fascia, joints, breath, and emotions are all part of the same healing web. She shares her own evolution into osteopathic work, breaks down why your horse’s “tight muscle” isn’t the problem, and lights a fire under the belief that healing has to be forceful to be effective.

You can’t hide behind technique when your nervous system is screaming. You can’t fake groundedness when your horse already knows better. And you can’t create real connection from a place of emotional chaos. So what happens when you stop adjusting your horse and start adjusting you? In this riff, Margaret shares how Wonder Camp and a soul confirming trip to Phoenix cracked open a deeper level of sovereignty, clarity, and embodied leadership- revealing how the patterns we carry in our body and business ripple straight through to our horses. From entrepreneurial loneliness to trimming at liberty, to unhooking from survival mode love, this is a raw, integrated look at how we become the kind of people horses trust- because we trust ourselves first.

What if your horse isn’t stubborn, dramatic, or difficult at all- but just done with being ignored?
The truth most riders miss is that comprehension isn’t the same as embodiment. You can “know” your horse is a sentient being and still run right over their choices every single day. That’s where trust dies, and where magic never even gets the chance to show up.
This episode is about what changes when you stop controlling and start listening- how sovereignty reshapes trust, why advocacy is non-negotiable, and what it really takes to protect horses in an industry that still rewards force. If you’ve been craving proof that your instincts about your horse are dead-on, this is it.

You don’t have a “mystery lameness.” You have a trail you didn’t track soon enough. And every sore spot, sticky stifle, or spook in the cross-ties is a breadcrumb your horse dropped on the path to truth- while everyone else keeps treating the damn mold instead of asking why the bread got moldy in the first place.
In this one, Margaret unpacks what real root cause resolution looks like, why your horse’s compensation patterns are smarter than your vet diagnostics, and how to stop getting stuck in “better… and then back again” cycles. You’ll never look at a sore check ligament or red mare the same again.

You’re not doing it wrong if the ending isn’t tidy. Some horses don’t heal on a schedule. Some won’t ever let you in all the way. And some? They just needed a soft landing before the end. In this story soaked episode, Margaret opens the portal on a vision born from one broken horse and a decade long twist of fate- and how that vision is reshaping what “rescue” really means. From the mirror of the kill pen to the myth of the “fix,” this episode dives into honoring endings, meeting pain with presence, and why giving a horse back their dignity can be the most powerful healing of all.

Most people wait for intuition to feel like fireworks before they trust it. That’s exactly why they miss it. Real magic is quieter, subtler, and built through repetition- until you can spot what others can’t. This episode drills into how to work your “magic muscle,” why your horse’s behavior might actually be a mirror of your own emotions, and how emotional regulation clears the noise so your intuition comes through loud and clear. You’ll walk away with the mindset shifts and daily practices that turn vague hunches into razor sharp reads on your horse’s needs and truth.

There’s a moment every true healer faces: the split-second choice to stay safe- or speak up. For the horse. For the human. For the unseen root of it all. The ones who don’t flinch when it matters are the ones who get called back again and again. Not because they have magic hands (though you might), but because they carry something rarer- conviction. This episode unpacks what makes a practitioner indispensable, how owners accidentally sabotage their own horse’s healing, and why too many “experts” get it dead wrong. Consider this your line in the sand.

You say you’re body positive. But are you really listening when your body speaks- or only when it screams? You claim to trust your intuition. But are you following it, or just proud that you recognize it sometimes? Margaret strips away the soft-focus slogans and exposes the subtle ways we silence what our bodies- and our horses- are begging us to hear. This is about what gets lost when we get defensive instead of curious.

What if your horse isn’t defiant, difficult, or “just an ass”—they’re just done being touched without being heard? For women like us- taught to override our bodies, trained to earn our worth, and conditioned to ignore our own no’s- it’s no surprise we miss theirs. Kate Tobiasson joins Margaret for a profound unraveling of what consent really looks like with horses: not trained cues or transactional obedience, but a two way, body led conversation that starts in the pasture, at the gate, with a single choice. One that can rewire everything we thought we had to control. Kate’s story isn’t about saving a horse- it’s about remembering what he came here to teach.

You think you’re helping- but what if the tool in your hand is actually making things worse?
This episode is a wake up call and a reclaiming.
A reclaiming of real skill over shortcuts. Of energetic presence over mechanical pressure. And of the kind of hands on connection that doesn’t just touch tissue, but changes lives.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting advice or powerless in the face of your horse’s pain, this will anchor you back to truth: less is more, energy matters, and healing doesn’t come from a machine.

What if the same fascia that keeps your horse locked up is the reason you can’t soften into safety? This conversation blows open the myth that healing is mindset work. Jenna Wahl and Margaret trace the tension straight to your tissues- showing how trauma, mother wounds, and high-achiever conditioning don’t just live in your story, they live in your structure. And when you start releasing what’s stuck- whether in your own hips or your horse’s hind end- you don’t just move better. You relate differently. You lead differently. You live softer, with nothing to prove.

If your horse stops sweating during this heat wave, that’s not quirky- it’s a medical emergency. Most people won’t notice until it’s too late. Are you watching closely enough?
In this urgent, no-BS episode, Margaret lays out exactly what you need to do to keep your horse alive and well through a dangerously humid 108°+ heat index forecast in Michigan- and why waiting to respond is the worst thing you can do. From early warning signs to critical hydration hacks, feed tweaks, salt strategy, and why airflow is non-negotiable, she takes you deep into the real-life care that your barn needs this week.

What if “EPM” isn’t a diagnosis—it’s a distraction?
What if you’re throwing time, money, and meds at something your horse doesn’t even have?
Margaret drops the hammer on lazy labels, generic protocols, and the false certainty that passes for diagnosis in most barns. From polio to parasites to why most vets are 10 years behind on EPM research, this episode unpacks the real reasons your horse might not be getting better—and what to do instead.
Whether you’re treating based on bloodwork, vibes, or a vet’s best guess, this is your wake-up call to look deeper, test smarter, and treat the horse, not the label.

You wouldn’t do a thousand sit-ups to lose belly fat, so why are you trying to back your horse uphill to build their ass? Or press into one knot and expect decades of dysfunction to unravel? Margaret dismantles the surface-level logic owners cling to when they’re desperate to “just fix this one thing,” and shows you why that mindset is not only wrong—it’s harmful. If you want to actually create change, you’ve gotta understand what thread to pull, when to leave it the fuck alone, and how to stop playing orthopedic Whac-A-Mole.
