This month we are joined by Gemma Pearson, the Director of Equine Behaviour at
The Horse Trust and Veterinary Liaison Officer for the International Society for
Equitation Science.

We discuss how Gemma got into equine behaviour and how we can better support
students in regard to behavioural training. Gemma was heavily involved in the BEVA
campaign ‘Don’t Break Your Vet’, so we reflect on its success and why it’s important
to take equine veterinarians' safety seriously.

We dispel some common myths about equine behaviour and treatment, with a
particular focus on the effects of box rest, medications and behavioural motivations.

Gemma shares her knowledge of the three F’s of a horse's physiological needs, the
impact they can have on a horse's stress response and how we define a happy
horse. Lastly, we discuss how to approach tricky clients in difficult situations and the
use of whips in equine sports.

In this episode, we learn about two incredible women, Claire Fry and Louise Napier Smith.

Louise shares her incredible journey to becoming a veterinarian against the odds as a teenage mother working in retail. We learn how she overcame her struggles to apply to vet school with limited education and how one particular conversation can
change your life.

Claire describes how her life experiences during the 2008 recession changed her career trajectory from working for a global insurance company to opening up her own coaching business, Pale Blue Coaching.

In the vet profession, we place a huge emphasis on the continued professional development of our clinical or technical skills, but ultimately, it's a people business. Through coaching techniques, we can all learn who we are and what we need professionally and personally.

Claire and Louise share their techniques for dealing with loneliness at work and the importance of having the right people around you, even if they are not the people
you would necessarily expect help from.

Lastly, we discuss how expectations can vastly differ from reality as a new grad vet and the importance of believing in yourself and your ability to achieve your dreams.

Dr Emmanuelle Van Erck, and MSD’s own Equine Marketing & Technical Manager, Blaise Scott Morris, team up to teach us about innovative technology and data-driven equipment that can change the face of equine medicine as we know it.

We ask Emmanuelle how she became interested in the application of technology in her practice and why she is looking at data to move the profession forwards.

We discuss how data is a fantastic tool to improve your horses' training and explore reasons why there has been resistance to using data-driven technology in the equine field, despite the clear evidence for improved welfare in sports.

Our guests explain how this technology can be implemented by general practitioners and clients, and how an app could support the bond between the owner and horse.

We then move on to discuss the technical innovations happening at MSD and, as someone at the forefront of equine innovation, what Blaise’s job really entails on a day-to-day basis.

Blaise explains how MSD’s new thermal microchip is empowering owners whilst improving safety for both vets and horses. By developing innovative products, we can revolutionise the way equine healthcare works.

We are joined by Malcolm Morley,  President of the British Veterinary Association,  and Nicola Berryman, welfare veterinary surgeon at Redwings Horse Sanctuary, to discuss the relationships with the traveller community and address the welfare concerns people have about traveller-owner horses.

We discuss what human behavioural change means and how we can influence
preconceptions about travellers that are commonly held in the veterinary community. By changing the way we present information to our clients, we have an excellent gateway to a good relationship with improved compliance.

Both Nicola and Malcolm have worked at the infamous Appleby Horse Fair. We learn about what part veterinarians play in the fair, if they are welcomed and how welfare standards are being celebrated by everybody involved.

We also address the feelings of uncertainty about starting to work within the
travelling communities and how the veterinary profession can become an ally and a force for real social change.
