Lasix in the Horse World – Conditioning vs. Medication

Lasix is one of the most controversial medications in the horse world, but are we talking enough about conditioning?In this episode, I break down:• What Lasix actually does• Why some horses bleed during exercise• The difference between managing a horse and masking a problem• Why conditioning matters more than people realize• The pipe analogy that completely changed how I understood Lasix and performance horses• Why some countries, including Brazil, have banned Lasix in competition due to concerns about its effectsThis isn’t about judgment. It’s about education, horsemanship, and learning to support horses the right way.Links & Resources:Follow me on Instagram and TikTok at Rfr_rodeo for behind-the-scenes contentalso visit our sponsors Tacktical and Ranch Dress’n using code Rfr_rodeo, Rocket Donkey and Bucked Up using code RachelF10, and Swingin9t using code RachelFenske14If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with your rodeo friends!
