Of all the education we have provided recently around equine welfare, we assumed the biggest hurdle would be whether people wanted to make changes and what changes to make. What we discovered instead was something very different — and much heavier. Most people do want to improve welfare practices, but feel stuck behind barriers that seem out of their control. We talk honestly about what those barriers look like in the real world: leadership resistance, lack of buy-in, tight budgets, and the quiet frustration of knowing better but feeling unable to do better. This conversation isn’t about blame or finger-pointing — it’s about naming the reality so many professionals are living in and validating that tension.This led us to build the curriculum that we did with the upcoming HETRA University Live Workshop, March 6-7 in Gretna, NE Get more details including the detailed agenda and register now! https://hetrauniversity.mykajabi.com/HULStridesForward Link for more information and to join us in the new mini course: Trail to Sustainability: Securing Your Programs Future https://hetrauniversity.mykajabi.com/TrailtoSustainabilityMiniCourse Follow us on social and plug in here: https://hetrauniversity.mykajabi.com/HETRAUniversityLinks","meta_description":"n this episode, Shelby and Kaiti unpack a realization that genuinely surprised them.
