COVID-19 is impacting everyone’s lifestyle. While there is no evidence that COVID 19 is a problem for horses, it may impact our horses’ lifestyle. That’s why we want to understand how recent changes in human travel and activities may impact the care and management of our horses.
Horses and Humans - Engaged, Active, Frisky
