In today\u2019s podcast we talk to Dr Tamzin Furtado, Post Doctorate Research at Liverpool University.\nTamzin has conducted a variety of research studies throughout her career including Managing Equine Obesity, Equine wellbeing on livery yards and her most recent paper on the use of alternative grazing systems in the UK.\nWe discuss:\n\n What is the best way to manage obesity in our equines?\n How we have become conditioned to seeing overweight horses and dogs as the norm.\n We delve into the reality of being a livery yard manager and what a difficult job this can be. Becky shares a story about a livery yard and has her perspective changed after listening to Tamzin.\n We also touch on human behaviour change, is there a bright future and how a multi-disciplined approach is needed to affect this change.\n We look to the future and chat about sustainability and horse care and how in an ever changing climate we need to seek out new ways of manging our land.\n\nAs always there\u2019s an interruption from an animal, a few tangents and Tamzin also \u201cout \u2013 analogies\u201d Becky (for our regular listeners you\u2019ll know this is rare!!)\nWe could have chatted to Tamzin for hours about all the incredible work she has done and her findings but parent duties put a stop to that. We are very much looking forward to having Tamzin with us again to discuss her future projects.\nIf you are enjoying our podcasts, please share, like and subscribe.
