## Resource

Dr. Audrey DeClue discusses the importance of recognizing pain in horses, emphasizing that many issues misdiagnosed as training problems are actually pain-related. She highlights the need for veterinarians to understand biomechanics and pattern recognition to accurately diagnose and treat pain.

She advocates for veterinarians to prioritize rideability and trainability over soundness and lameness, aiming to improve horses' quality of life and performance.
