When Equiteam’s Liz Daniels saw a post on Facebook about a
groundbreaking study by neuroscientist Gregory Berns, revealing
that dogs may love their humans more than food or other
dogs—it sparked a deep conversation with fellow horse
lover and co-host, Louise Gillings, about the power of
connection in the horse world.
Connections are essential because they support our overall
well-being by increasing happiness and reducing stress, loneliness,
and the risk of mental health issues.
As usual the pair go off piste as their conversations go to mute
giraffes, jellyfish with no brains (or nerves) and what it means to
truly feel part of a supportive equestrian
community.
