Описание: 🐴 Is your horse in pain right now—and you just don't see it?

In this video, I break down the 6 key FACIAL INDICATORS that reveal when your horse is suffering, based on the scientifically validated Horse Grimace Scale. You'll learn how to spot the subtle signs that most people mistake for "bad behavior"—and what to do when you recognize them.
