  • Educational and Inspirational

    As a volunteer equine humane investigator, this podcast offers so much valuable information for EHIs who do not receive training on how to conduct an investigation. As someone who wants to be as efficient and effective for the horses as possible, it is a relief to have this resource to learn from and for guidance in being thorough, detailed, and as professional as possible.
