48. Animal Behaviour & Weaning Considerations For Horse Owners With Jenni Nellist

In this episode, I chat with Jenni Nellist who is a Clinical Animal Behaviouralist. She helps caring horse and dog owners struggling with their animal's problem behaviour to get a deeper understanding,  remove stress, restore partnerships, and change behaviour.

Together we chat about:

• Her journey with horses up until when she started university
• Her studies in Equine Science
• Her project which looked at herd dynamics in a group of mares when a stallion was and wasn't present
• How she would use positive reinforcement to help rehabilitate horses
• Some science around different weaning protocols and some more ethical ways of doing it for pleasure and performance horses
• How stress early in a horses life can predispose them to gut issues, picking up vices, nervous behaviour etc. 
• How important it is to continue to learn and collaborate with others

And so much more!
