In this episode, I talk about sleep and rest, and how these affect the body, mind, and emotions. I cover why horses might have reduced sleep and rest amount or quality, and the toll this can take on them. I give you some things to observe in your own horse and their lifestyle to help them to get better sleep and rest.About the host:Dr Lily Wilson is a veterinary surgeon practicing in the UK. She runs a veterinary rehabilitation facility on a track system in West Sussex and has particular interest and expertise in species-appropriate lifestyles, postural improvement, and ethical behaviour modification. She also offers a whole horse review and reset either via a home visit or bringing your horse to her facility, and runs online courses and one-to-one online consult calls.Lily’s passion is helping people and animals to live their best life together by nurturing their all-round wellbeing and unique partnership. 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.Relevant links:Attuned Assessment MembershipWhole horse review and resetWhole horse rehab boardingHusbandry for Happiness online course (coming soon)Please do subscribe and share this podcast where you think others also need to hear it.
