We know you are going to love this episode but a little note of caution, there are a couple of moments of "lively" language so if you have small people around or are easily offended, this one might not be for you.

“When a flower doesn’t bloom, you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower” – Alexander Den Heijer. Creating the right environment for our horses is vital for them to thrive, and if these needs fail to be met can result in long-lasting consequences for our horses welfare. Amy and Ross explore what is species-appropriate husbandry, why these practises should be necessities, not options and what you can bring in to enrich your horses lives.
