Educational and Inspirational

As a volunteer equine humane investigator, this podcast offers so much valuable information for EHIs who do not receive training on how to conduct an investigation. As someone who wants to be as efficient and effective for the horses as possible, it is a relief to have this resource to learn from and for guidance in being thorough, detailed, and as professional as possible.

I’m So Glad You’re Here!

I just found this podcast, and I’m so happy I did. I’m an ACO in a very small, rural town, sort of floating through it on my own. To hear about other ACO’s and issues is great! I feel validated and relieved to hear other ACO’s talk about all the issues and have some of the same concerns and to hear different solutions! Thank you.
