And my previous executive headteachers, they worked in primary to start with, and then they moved into opening all through school.

I'd love to hear you speak on the differences between humans and horses.

Well, I guess I'll start with the similarities, and then that kind of helps make the differences make a little more sense.

But in terms of survival responses, humans and horses are very similar.

When we lose control, when we experience pain, or we run out of tools and resources to protect ourselves, our body switches into a survival response to try to protect ourselves against the perceived threat.

Typically, we'll go into a fight or flight.

Horses are naturally flight animals.

They try to get away from the threat.
