Discussing a horse's weight and condition with an owner can be difficult. To help broach the subject and engage owners, we've called on the expertise of social scientist, Tamzin Furtado.
Tamzin, who works at the University of Liverpool and has extensive experience in global health, has a specific interest in how human behaviour change can improve the management of obesity in horses.
She has created some simple and effective guidance for vets and nurses to help communicate with owners and bring out positive change which yields results.
