Your Horse Doesn't Need You Like You Think

Описание: Lauren from Graveney Equine built her first track system for £300—and within 4 months, it healed hoof problems that traditional farriery couldn't fix. She went from facing £800 every few months to £20/month trims.

But here's the uncomfortable truth: when horses get autonomy on a track system, they stop "needing" you. And for many UK owners, that triggers an identity crisis.

In this conversation, Lauren (founder of the 8,000-member Horse Track System UK group and 2024 Livery Yard of the Year winner) shares:

How to build a functional track on a tight budget (her first cost £300)
Why your horse whinnying at the stable door might be dependency, not affection
Healing chronic hoof issues through movement (toe cracks, abscesses, EMS)
Winter mud management on UK land without expensive surfacing
The emotional shift from "centre of your horse's world" to genuine partnership

UK horse owners: If you're stuck in livery limitations, dealing with laminitis, or questioning whether traditional boarding serves your horse's welfare—this is the conversation you need.
