Horses and the Science of Harmony
“We wanted everyone, from the pony clubber to the Olympic athlete to learn
new information. For instance, many people don’t realize that smell is probably the horse’s
strongest sense or that horses routinely hear sound frequencies that we cannot hear.”
The Train with Trust Project is a proud promotional partner for a new full length feature film “Horses and the Science of Harmony”. The film examines the nature of harmony between horse and rider through the eyes of 3-day event rider Bubby Upton and through the lens of cutting-edge science.
Produced by UK-based equine performance specialist Dr. Sue Dyson and US-based Kathryn Lauritzen of Padma Video, the film can be seen on YouTube and on Smart TV platforms: Apple TV, Amazon Fire, ROKU, LG, Samsung, as well as on-line via Equus Television Network.
Horses and The Science of Harmony is available, free to view, as of Friday October 25, 2024.

The 24 Behaviors of the Ridden Horse in Pain: Shifting the Paradigm of How We See Lameness.
The 24 Behaviors of the Ridden Horse in Pain is an award winning film, produced by Padma Video in partnership with the Train with Trust Project that dares to challenge the way we look at "badly behaving" horses, and promotes the notion that common behavioral signs of discomfort can serve as early indicators to address orthopedic problems before horses become lame.

The Research:
Through a six-phase study, spanning three years, and over 400 horses, Dr. Sue Dyson and colleagues developed The Ridden Horse Pain Ethogram (RHpE). A tool to reliably predict lameness before the condition worsens into limping and other obvious signs of injuries. Click here to access a publications list and read peer reviewed articles.
