The Vital Horse Podcast
with host Dr Lily Wilson
Episode 12 - Expectations of our horses with Yasmin Stuart
In this episode, I talk with Yasmin Stuart, equine physiotherapist and trauma informed horse trainer, about our approach to horses, both philosophical and practical. We talk about our expectations of our horses and about having both an evidence base and intuition as to what we can ask of them and do for them, and reflect on some important lessons some very special horses have taught both of us. I'm sure you'll enjoy this conversation, and I think we have room for much more!

She is fascinated by all aspects of wellbeing from how the body functions in health and disease to how we all learn, think and feel, and how all of this is intertwined. She wants to help people on their journeys of discovering how to keep horses’ bodies and minds healthy, comfortable, active and engaged and to explore the integral role of both the horse’s and our emotions in all of this.
