Dr David Marlin gave an impromptu talk at the prestigious Mayfield School in Kent in June at the request of one of our members and pupils at the school, Flo Burnop. Flo arranged for David to speak to her fellow classmates, their parents and staff at the school.

David was delighted to chat and discuss his work, career, where his research has led him and how it has helped shape welfare guidelines for all our horses.

This was recorded outside at the Mayfield School's Equestrian Centre, and you may hear some general yard noises in the background.
