Leading by Example: A Discussion on Equine Welfare

As a trainer and equestrian, I believe to lead by example.
In this episode of Equidemia Insights I invited two guests for a panel discussion who are, each in their own way, ambassadors for equine welfare. Together, we were trying to unravel the actual happenings in the equestrian world.

Crispin Parelius Johannessen is a fine art equine photographer. He is documenting moments and details of equestrian sports.

Claudia Sanders is the editor in chief of the German magazine „Dressur Studien“. She is talking about her own experiences in the equine industry.
