This short documentary film produced by Padma Video in partnership with the Train with Trust Project features world-renowned expert in equine orthopedics, Dr. Sue Dyson, and her work demonstrating that many “bad” horse behaviors frequently labeled as “resistant”, “lazy”, or even “explosive”, can actually be indicators of pain.
