The Little Horse Big Conversation Podcast

As Artificial Intelligence gains traction worldwide through humanities advances in technology, could AI have a place within the equine community, or is their any relevance at all?   During this weeks episode, Amy and Ross explore the hot-topic of Artificial Intelligence; what is AI, how does it work and how is it being integrated into the equine industry? Throughout the episode, the duo discuss the positive impacts that Artificial Intelligence could have on society, and also the downfalls, from mis-information to the wide-reach effects on the environment. - Enjoyed listening to the latest episode?

This week Amy and Ross were excited to sit down with the lovely Lauren Johnson, the founder of Graveney Equine, one of the world’s earliest track livery yards and an award-winning equine facility in Kent.   Lauren joins us and walks us through her journey and experiences that led her to the creation of Graveney Equine, and alongside the multitude of benefits of track systems and species-specific management, the conversation expands to a larger discussion of rethinking track system design from the horses perspective and moving beyond the basics of welfare.   Opening up some of the bigger questions that may challenge established thought processes, this conversation explores how we can do better for equine welfare, management and training, not just with the evidence we have, but the requirements from us, the humility to do so and curiosity to seek it.     To find out more about Lauren's work, educational resources and Graveney Equine Track System, visit the website at https://www.graveneyequine.co.uk or https://www.horsetracksystem.co.uk   - Enjoyed listening to the latest episode?

We ask our horses to carry different kinds of weight, from the saddle to the rider, yet is your horse also carrying the weight of your expectations? Expectations can weight heavy on our horses just as they can on ourselves. This week, Amy and Ross explore expectations, where they originate, how you can liberate and just how deeply this somewhat overlooked aspect of the human psyche can have on the relationship between you and your horse.   - Enjoyed listening to the latest episode?
