This clip is from a full podcast episode, INSIGHT with Dr. Seth (Spotify & Apple Podcasts). In the interview, psychologist Dr. Seth Meyers interviews Kayla Beauregard, professional horse trainer and show competitor. Can horses love? How do they show emotion and do they have emotional intelligence? Are horses happy competing in events? What does say it about the purpose of horses that they have been used in history for war and agriculture, and that they are the only animals that compete in Olympic events? Kayla explains to listeners with incredible depth how the personality of a horse matters when it comes to the work a horse does, and shares personality characteristics that make for a happy human horse trainer. They discuss: dressage and fierce Grand Prix competition events; safety risks and health risks for both horses and their trainers; psychological benefits of equine-assisted therapies; the personal bond of trust and loyalty that trainers develop with their horses; and the perfect dream life for a horse. Dr. Seth shares a story about the gorgeous horse farms of Lexington, Kentucky, "Horse Capital of the World."
