We like to think that when our horse whinnies at us over the stable door, it's love. But what if it's actually desperation?

In this interview, I’m talking to Lauren from Graveney Equine about why Track Systems (Paddock Paradise) are the future of horse care. We dig into the hard truth that haunts many owners: when you give a horse true autonomy on a track, they stop "needing" you in the same way. And for many of us, that triggers a massive identity crisis.

Lauren also shares how she started her first track system for just £300 (approx $380 USD) and how it healed hoof issues that traditional farriery couldn't touch. If you are struggling with mud, laminitis, or just feel like traditional boarding/livery is failing your horse, this conversation is the alternative you’ve been looking for.

In this video, we explore:

• The "Affection" Myth: Distinguishing between connection and learned dependence.

• Budget Barriers: How to build a functional track system on a shoestring budget

• The Health Turnaround: Healing toe cracks, abscesses, and EMS through movement.

• Winter Management: Handling mud and forage without spending a fortune on surfacing.
