Here we delve deeper into the horse care issues raised in our podcasts and share the experience of our Redwings experts. In this episode we talk to our Head of Sanctuary and Care, Nicky Jarvis and discover the dangers that obesity can pose to a horse, and what practical tips and advice she has for monitoring and managing weight change in our horses.
