Our Story

Founded in 2023, Curious Equestrian emerged from a recognition that the equestrian world needed more evidence-based approaches and fewer unquestioned traditions. What began as a series of interviews with forward-thinking horse professionals has evolved into a multimedia platform dedicated to improving equine welfare through knowledge sharing and storytelling.

Our Mission

Curious Equestrian exists to challenge conventional wisdom and improve the lives of horses through knowledge sharing. We believe that understanding leads to better care and that better care leads to happier horses and humans. Through both expert insights and extraordinary personal stories, we're building a community that dares to question tradition for tradition's sake.
