In episode #3 of our second season, we met up with Tim Reinert, the co-founder of Hestakofi. Tim is a trainer veterinary naturopath, who experienced first hand the problems of Icelandic horses suffering from sweet itch, eczema and other skin conditions. The idea of Hestakofi, a name taken from his Grandparents farm, was born; to improve the life quality of horse with skin problems with natural products.

Tim shares with us how to help your horse with sweet itch or after being exported, we talk about sustainability and what problems even horses in Iceland can have.

For the last episode of our 1st season we welcome our first scientist. Since the creation of this podcast we wanted to invite people beyond skilled riders; so we talked with Linda Andersson, a horse nerd and veterinarian at Saxtorp Hästklinik, and with Zola Runsten, a farrier specialised in Icelandic horses.

In this episode we now talk with Heiðrún, our first scientist focused on genetics behind the gaits of Icelandic horses. She recently passed her doctoral thesis at SLU on genetic regulation of ability and quality of gaits in Icelandic horses, but listen to her she will explain that better!!

Here the link to her paper:
