E1: The unpopular opinion about vet-shy horses

When it comes to healthcare procedures, even the basic ones, some horses start behaving in a way that makes it nearly impossible to take care of their health. Some try to avoid being treated at all costs. Some even let the vet (farrier...) come close.

There are different reasons for their behaviour, which I am going to explore in this episode.
