Listen "Pain In Horses: What's the missing link?"
Episode Synopsis
What if your horse’s “naughty” behaviour is really pain—and the rehab plan is missing the point? In this conversation, Nika Vorster and equine practitioner Ansley Bevan dig into evidence-informed, horse-centered rehab. From Florida’s heat to the UK’s milder climate, they compare management realities, unpack why traditional stall-rest protocols can fail the horse mentally, and explore how behaviour is a primary signal of discomfort. Ansley shares lessons from her horse Charlie, the origins of her Equine Wellness Academy, and why educating owners creates better outcomes than chasing quick fixes. If you’ve felt stuck, gaslit, or overwhelmed, this one offers a grounded roadmap for advocating for your horse—with patience, presence, and practical tools. Hosted on Acast.
