  • Eye opening!

    Animal welfare is a topic too frequently over looked. I love how this podcast delves deep into how we can improve the quality of life of not just horses but all animals. Its putting a spotlight on practices that for too long have just been accepted because it’s “just how we do things”. Love this podcast!!
