In this episode of Giving Horses a Voice, Sharon Wilsie talks about one of spring’s biggest horse topics: grass.

Spring brings more than greener fields. Horses are also experiencing changes in coat, hormones, light, visibility, footing, and metabolism—all of which can affect mood, movement, and behavior. Sharon explains why fresh grass can create such urgency in horses and why that response is often rooted in biology rather than bad behavior.

Through the lens of Horse Speak, Sharon shares practical ways to work with your horse around grass while improving communication, timing, balance, and regulation. This episode offers a fresh perspective on spring challenges and shows how even grass season can become an opportunity to strengthen connection and understanding.
