SIDE by SIDE, a Partnership between two species

Science EN ↓ 4 episodes

Our two species share a long history together ever since Equus caballus allowed us in. They transported us, ploughed the fields that fed us, and stood beside us in war. But now…in an era shaped by Artificial Intelligence, what will our relationship look like? I’m an equine veterinarian—I’ve spent twenty years working alongside these incredible animals. And I have questions. Questions about where this bond between human and horse is headed, in a world that’s changing faster than ever. So join me, as we explore what the horse still means to us — and what we mean to them, in this modern society.
