Summary
Today, we're throwing a NST classic back in your feed. This time remastered.
What if this ONE thing we’ve always been told about horses isn’t true at all? What if it’s a lie we’ve told ourselves so that we can enjoy our horseback riding vacations and Kentucky Derbies without guilt?
To answer this question we speak with Ren Hurst, a former professional horse trainer and author of “The Wisdom of Wilderness.” And we venture to New Jersey to spend some time with horses at the Bergen County Horse Rescue.
The end credits music is "I’ve Always Been the First (to Say I Love you)" by Certain Self.
