In this episode, Sarah Braithwaite, founder of Forageplus and advocate for equine welfare, launches a short podcast series exploring horse welfare through the Five Domains framework, showing how nutrition, environment, health, behavioural interactions and mental state combine to shape a horse's life.
In the first episode we focus on nutrition: why analysing forage matters, how traditional feeds can miss key needs, and how a forage-led approach supports better horse health, behaviour and wellbeing. Next time we’ll cover the environment and how living spaces influence comfort and safety.
