If you’ve ever had dreams of getting a horse, this one’s for you! We’re speaking with equine veterinarian Dr. Erica Lacher and her husband, Justin B. Long, from ​​Newberry, FL. They talk about how horses are not just their job, but a lifestyle. These majestic creatures are actually quite delicate, needing tons of understanding about how they perceive the world. Listen in for Dr. Lacher’s recommendations for how a first-time horse owner might start learning about these animals before making a commitment to caring for them. You’ll also learn the importance behind the saying, “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink!” Check back tomorrow for part two!
