In this episode of On The Rail Podcast, we facilitate a roundtable discussion about the state of horse welfare in the stock horse show industry. The conversation includes insights from professionals, amateurs, and a veterinary medicine expert.

The panelists touch on the importance of self-policing within the industry, the pressures faced by trainers, and the necessity of better educating the public about our equine care and practices. They also explore the need for more stewards, the role of associations in consistently enforcing welfare rules, and the potential for involving amateurs in stewardship.

The episode highlights the multifaceted nature of horse welfare and the steps required to foster a more humane and transparent industry.
