Show Notes
Every animal on the planet does sleep, including insects, birds, fish, aquatic mammals, you, me and our horses. Humans spend a third of their lives sleeping; in that time, we repair and strengthen our health systems. So do our horses, but little is known.
There seems to be an increase in "narcolepsy" in horses, which isn't the proper use in horses of this human disease. So now it is known as a "Sleep Disorder" in Horses (or something like that). But this podcast doesn't spend much time on this one problem that has been escalating over the years. So instead, Doc T talks about what happens when we sleep. From there, we look at what might happen to our horses when they sleep.
