Samantha BaerHOST
What similarities are there between the way people and our subconscious protects ourselves and the way horses protect themselves? Does that make sense?

Mandy McConechyGUEST
What I've found is that they're very, very similar because the nervous system is pretty much the same in both.

Mandy McConechyGUEST
The only difference, as far as I'm aware so far, is that we create stories.

Mandy McConechyGUEST
But, you know, when we have something that's sore, we're constantly going every time we move it, oh, that hurt.
