S1 E4 - 'This Barn believes that a horse without a Job is a wasted horse'
Welcome to a special debate club edition of "Dangerous at Both Ends, Tricky in the Middle," the podcast where equine enthusiasts gallop through the world of horses! In this thought-provoking episode, we transform 'this house' into 'this barn' for a spirited debate on a contentious topic: 'This Barn believes that a horse without a Job is a wasted horse.'
With our bridles set aside, we delve into an animated discussion, each of us taking a stance regardless of our personal opinions. The debate promises to be a lively canter through various perspectives on equine employment and welfare. Is a horse's value intrinsically tied to its work? Or do these majestic creatures offer more beyond their traditional roles in our lives?
We’ll explore historical and modern viewpoints, hear expert opinions, and consider the emotional and psychological aspects of equine life. Whether you’re a seasoned equestrian or simply a horse lover at heart, this episode is sure to stirrup your thoughts and may even challenge some long-held beliefs.
Saddle up for a ride through compelling arguments, insightful discussions, and perhaps, a gallop towards understanding the true essence of equine existence. Remember, in this barn, every opinion counts, but only one can trot away as the winner. Join us as we debate: Is a horse without a job truly a wasted horse?

S1E6 - Normal, Abnormal, or Unwanted?
This episode of "Dangerous at Both Ends, Tricky in the Middle," we delve into the multifaceted world of equine behaviour, exploring the lines between normal, abnormal, and unwanted behaviour from a human & horse perspective. This comprehensive discussion is designed to unravel the complexities of how we perceive and interact with our equine companions.
Join us as we tackle the intriguing topic of what constitutes 'normal' behaviour in horses. What are the typical patterns and habits of these animals, and how do they vary across different environments and situations? We'll explore the natural behaviours exhibited by horses and how they adapt to the lives we share with them.
Then, we shift gears to discuss abnormal behaviours. These can range from subtle changes in temperament to more pronounced issues like stereotypies or aggression. We'll examine the causes behind these behaviours, such as stress, environment, and health issues, and how they can be identified and managed.
But what about behaviours that are not necessarily abnormal yet are considered unwanted from a human perspective? This part of the episode focuses on the challenges faced by horse owners and handlers in managing behaviours that may be natural for horses but problematic in human care settings. We'll discuss training approaches, management strategies, and the importance of understanding equine psychology to create a harmonious relationship between horses and humans.
Whether you're a seasoned equestrian or simply love horses, this episode will enhance your understanding and appreciation of the complex nature of equine behaviour.
