Ethical Considerations in Working on Lameness Cases with Kendra Skorstad, by Equithrive
One difficult issue hoofcare providers struggle with is how can we advocate best for the horses in our care, while also managing expectations for their owners and riders? Kendra Skorstad and I talk about the ethical considerations and implications involved with working on lameness cases and hoof rehab clients. This is a candid, off-the-cuff conversation that asks more questions than gives answers, but gives a sneak peak into the hoofcare provider's daily thought process.
