Today, I want to speak about ‘the hard’ in horses. I recently shared a post on our Abbey’s Run Equestrian Facebook page about this & it resonated with a lot of people.

This topic is inspired by those who in the past few months have shared their hard with me, just how tough-a time they’ve had of it, and the thinking and reflection that those conversations have left me with.

I don’t think we share enough about the hard and so this episode aims to change that.

In this episode we discuss:

1:20 - episode introduction

2:54 - what do I mean by ‘the hard’

5:06 - some examples

6:20 - the unwell, the injuries & the impact

10:17 - resource limitations, access limitations & financial strain

19:50 - social media’s role

21:49 - human health impacts

23:47 - what do we do about it?

27:19 - episode wrap-up & what’s on next week
