All Things Equine Welfare

In this episode we navigate how to safely use food rewards with EMS and other insulin related conditions. Answering the question "my pony is so sensitive and I’m struggling to find a reinforcer that is salient enough for him but doesn’t sent him into a flare - what can I do?"

In this episode, we answer the question "is there any evidence for horses having a concentration face during training?"

In this episode we explore the impact that removing agency and expression can have on behaviour and welfare, as well as discussing the different ways that we can allow our horses to have choice in their day to day lives whilst working within the restrictions of a typical management setting and the benefits that allowing for that choice can have on our horses mental health and behaviour.

In our first long-form episode of All Things Equine Welfare, we discuss the key factors that contribute to a horse's mental health, happiness and welfare, and explore how different management practices can significantly impact these areas of their life. Whether you're a horse owner, caretaker, or simply passionate about equine issues, join Aliyah as she dives deep into these topics.
