The Vital Horse Podcast
The Vital Horse Podcast
Podcast Description
What does horse health and happiness mean and look like? As a vet, I am keen to define and strive for a state of health that is far more than just the absence of disease. Vitality, instead, is my aim - where exuberance, vigour, growth, strength, and energy are words you would use to describe your horse's state. This podcast explores nurturing the innate nature of animals to address the deep roots of this vitality. It is about you being able to help your horse fully, and strengthen and celebrate your relationship as a result. Dive in for in-depth discussions by guest speakers and me.

In this episode, I talk about what we can learn about our horses by observing signs as diverse as their body and hoof shape, behavioural responses, facial expressions, and movement. We can gather information that can help us answer questions about their underlying health, any pain, how they sense and learn, and what they need.
