When Equiteam’s Liz Daniels saw a post on Facebook about a groundbreaking study by neuroscientist Gregory Berns, revealing that dogs may love their humans more than food or other dogs—it sparked a deep conversation with fellow horse lover and co-host, Louise Gillings, about the power of connection in the horse world. Connections are essential because they support our overall well-being by increasing happiness and reducing stress, loneliness, and the risk of mental health issues. As usual the pair go off piste as their conversations go to mute giraffes, jellyfish with no brains (or nerves) and what it means to truly feel part of a supportive equestrian community.
