Welcome to episode 5 of the Ethical Equestrian Podcast! In this episode, I discuss the narrative that horses need to have a job to be worthy of keeping around, and how this idea can be quite damaging to the horses themselves and our relationship with them. I encourage equestrians to reassess their idea of what horses owe us and what we owe them, and to consider whether they are prioritizing their horse&#39;s welfare above all. Keep up with my horses and I on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theethicalequestrian/

Have you ever felt a special sense of belonging with horses, but maybe not the horse industry? This podcast is for anyone who dreams of harmony and partnership with horses, without the pressure of tradition, coercive training, or exclusivity. The horse world is not designed to protect the very animals it depends on, and it's time for change. Each week, join me to help shift the perspective through training tips, personal insights, and the lens of empathetic horsemanship.
