The 35-minutes documentary is based on the research of Dr. Sue Dyson, a world-renowned expert in equine orthopedics. Her development of the groundbreaking “Ridden Horse Pain Ethogram” (RHpE) has proven that “bad” horse behavior is often an early indication that the horse is in pain.
The 24 Behaviors of the Ridden Horse in Pain: Shifting the Paradigm of How We See Lameness was produced by U.S.-based Padma Video in partnership with Dr. Dyson and the nonprofit Train With Trust Project.
The film dares to challenge the way we look at horses’ behavior and promotes a shift in the conventional belief that lameness starts with a head bob. The film teaches horse lovers how to look for early signs of pain while taking viewers on an emotional ride through the eyes of a young girl who loves her horse and will stop at nothing to help the mare be comfortable.
“We are beyond thrilled that through EQUUS TV’s platforms, the 24 Behaviors film is now available to equine enthusiasts worldwide to watch at home in their living rooms via Smart TV Platforms,” said Kathryn Lauritzen, director. “EQUUS TV is doing things right.
