In this episode, we spoke with Liara Gonzalez, DVM, PhD, DACVS-LA, about her research on equine intestinal injury and recovery. Dr. Gonzalez’s lab was the first to develop a large animal pig model to study intestinal stem cells. It was also the first to identify these cells in horses and to grow intestinal stem cells into enteroids derived from pigs and horses. Her research is advancing our understanding of intestinal disease through expanded knowledge and use of equine intestinal stem cells in modulating mucosal barrier repair following ischemic damage.

This Practical Horseman Podcast, sponsored by Dechra, is with five-star show jumper Callie Schott. We talk to Callie about her special partnership with KWPN gelding Garant and their many successes, the wisdom she learned from working with Beezie and John Madden, how she keeps her horses fit for show jumping and why she’s so passionate about the sport.

Callie grew up in an equestrian family at River Mountain Farm in Versailles, Kentucky, with her dad Trey Schott, who’s an equine veterinarian and polo player and her mom, eventer and hunter/jumper trainer Elaine Schott. After graduating from the University of Kentucky, Callie spent five years working with Beezie and John Madden where she sharpened her riding and horsemanship skills and learned various training methods that have made the Maddens some of the most successful riders and trainers in the world.

Callie has established herself as a rising star in the sport of show jumping, as well as revisiting success in the hunter ring. She campaigned at some of the best shows in North America earning top honors in prestigious competitions at Spruce Meadows, The American Gold Cup, The New Albany Invitational Classic, Winter Equestrian Festival, The Vermont Summer Festival, The Hampton Classic and the Kentucky Horse Shows series.

In recent years, Callie and Garant have had dynamite success. The pair began 2023 with top-10 placings at the Winter Equestrian Festival and were third in the Grand Prix of Traverse City CSI3* and the Agero Grand Prix CSI3* during the Traverse City Horse Shows.

In 2024, Callie made her senior team debut at the Longines League of Nations™ Abu Dhabi with Garant, helping the NetJets® U.S. Jumping Team to a sixth-place finish in a highly competitive international field. She and Garant were short listed for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games and represented the U.S. Jumping Team in the FEI Longines League of Nations Netherlands CSIO5* in Rotterdam.

After a brief hiatus from the competition ring due to an injury, Callie made her comeback debut with Garant last summer at Traverse City Horse Shows’ Great Lakes Equestrian Festival, where they won the CSI03* Grand Prix during Nations Cup Week. They also took top honors at the Go Rentals CSI5* Grand Prix at Desert International Horse Park in Thermal, California.
