About this listen

In this episode I'm talking about the difference between hot horses and stressed horses.

So do hot horses exists? Or are people just passing off high levels of stress and excusing it with "it's just a hot horse"?

I talk about how these horses are created, from breeding to ridden work. I talk about the horses we lose to stress and poor practices that are normal in the horse world when they shouldn't be.

Explosive horses should NOT be normal, whether it's how they've been bred, raised, trained or physical pain that the horses are going though.

Being able to recognise pain in horses shouldn't be as hard as it is. Being able to tell the diference between a disregulated horse emotionally and whether the horse has kissing spines should be easy to do, because disregulation in horses shouldn't be as common as it is. I shouldn't have a job fixing as many horses as I do.

Horses should be set up to win in life, the number of horses that don't make it to maturity either due to behavioural issues, or behaviour induced injuries is astounding, and it shouldn't be happening.
