In this podcast we discuss grief in the herd. Please be aware that we talk about different methods of euthanasia, the ethics of training for euthanasia and our observations of the herds that we live and work with that have witnessed a loss of a herd member. Some listeners may struggle with some content, so please listen in a safe space and when you are ready. We are hoping that this podcast is helpful in some way to our listeners. Preparation is great and important if we have the opportunity but sometimes things happen quickly and/or out of our control, this podcast may offer some help, assistance and guidance with tips on how to support the remaining herd members, remember wherever there is attachment there is loss, this will include you too, so take things easy and be kind to yourself and your animal family. Every individual owns their own thoughts and feelings, healing doesn't happen in a straight line and will be different for everyone, supporting each other and the animals that we interact with can help us and them heal. If you have a professional individual that you trust to help be with you when the time has come and is in an area that we haven't mentioned, please post in the comments, this could be a great help to someone else.
In today's podcast we are joined by the brilliant Dr Emily Kieson Director of Research at the MiMer Centre and the equally brilliant Jessie Sams from Animal Behaviour and Trauma Recovery Service and behaviour consultant and research assistant at the MiMer Centre.
Kate had the pleasure of hosting Emily and Jessie at Conquest where they explored human - equine interactions in more detail. In this episode we discuss the importance of creating trusting relationships outside of the learning quadrant. Positive reinforcement is an effective tool for training and although we can sometimes believe that we are giving our horses choice, that choice is of our construct. How can we interact with our equines without an agenda, how can we start a conversation based on our horse's way of talking?
As always we didn't have enough time but we will be recording more with this fab duo!

Flashback episode: A few episodes ago, we chatted with the fabulous Kate Thornton from IEP. We mentioned that way back in 2020 we had recorded a podcast about adversity in the Equine community but we didn't publish the episode, because Kate (Blackmore) was unsure at the time... Well here, 2 years later, is the episode for you to enjoy.
In this episode we talk about coping with adversity in the Equine community, with tips and advice to help you and your horse. Don't forget to Shake it Off!
