In this solo episode, we wade into the stormy waters of online outrage, public perception, and the horse world’s increasingly fragile relationship with the outside eye. We'll talk about the tragic case of Dr. Shawn Frehner, a veterinarian caught in the viral crosshairs of condemnation before his side was widely heard. 

How should the horse industry respond to rising criticism—from animal rights activists to uninformed social media voices? And what role do we play in shaping that response? 

I'll unpack the importance of withholding judgment until we know more, why education must replace reactivity, and how humility might just be our strongest tool in an increasingly outrage-addicted world.
