The Horse HealthCast by SmartEquine: Episode 5

Episode 5: Horses, Health, and Mental Wellness

In this episode of the Horse HealthCast, we’re talking about a topic that hits close to home for every horse owner: mental wellness. From weaving and cribbing to kicking walls or subtle changes in attitude, our horses have their own ways of telling us when something’s not quite right. We dig into what those signs can mean, how to manage stress through turnout, diet, and environment, and where to start when small changes could make a big difference.

Most importantly, we remind listeners that if you’re paying attention to your horse’s mental health you’re already on the right track. Because at the end of the day, consistency is key: consistent stress can create problems, but consistent care builds trust, cooperation, and a happier horse.
