Myth busting: Is my horse being a pain or in pain?

We welcomed back Dr Sue Dyson to help dispel some common myths we hear frequently about horses and some behaviours they display that we consider less desirable. 

From spooky dispositions to grumpy chestnuts, from lazy geldings to buzzy mares, Sue sheds light on what we, as owners and riders, may have missed when attempting to resolve commonly seen unwanted behaviours in our horses. 

Sue was joined by equine behaviourist Rosa Verwijs, who shared her knowledge and experience on what we need to consider when our horse is consistently displaying a behaviour we would rather they didn’t. Both Sue and Rosa also explain how we can become better at understanding what our horses are really trying to tell us. As always, the team answered questions from the live viewing audience at the end of the webinar.
