Welcome to Episode 38: Guest Vet Surgeon Dr Lily Wilson - Linking Equine Posture & Behaviour

Join us for an informative, heartfelt and fun conversation with UK-based Veterinary Surgeon Dr Lily Wilson. Dr Lily runs an equine rehab facility on a track system in West Sussex and is known for her expertise in Equine-appropriate management, postural, and ethical behaviour modification. She also teaches riders how to feel motion using an Equisimulator, runs online courses (including her needle-shy course launching July 1st - link below!), and is passionate about educating on how posture, pain/dysfunction and behaviour are connected.

Dr Lily has gone through Dr Raquel's online Equine Functional Posture courses and believes it is an important bridge in the industry, as one of the most practical, straightforward and effective ways for you to learn about your own horse's posture, create an individualised plan to improve their body and transform your horse yourself! She also believes the concepts are very well articulated- excellent for bodyworkers, anyone new to postural training, experienced practitioners, or just anyone looking to create long lasting change for the horse.

In this episode, you can learn:

  • How Lily’s diagnostic processes evolved to honour postural concepts leading to more sustainable outcomes
  • Why posture isn’t just a buzzword — it’s about structural balance, good management, and sustainable movement
  • Her No.1 piece of advice for changing your horse's body for better outcomes
  • Why being passed as “all clear” isn’t always enough and we can never rule out pain
  • Her concept of healing through comfort  to allow function to then change structure, and how to empower horses to participate in their own healing
  • What to expect from positive postural changes- balanced eating postures, healthy herd dynamics, willingness to move, curiosity, and letting go of brace
