The Bare Bones of the Matter is a groundbreaking seven-part documentary series launching in September 2025 that uses innovative horse painting techniques to visually demonstrate complex equine anatomy and biomechanics. Centered around Freddie the Painted Horse, the series makes veterinary science accessible to everyday horse owners by illustrating skeletal and muscular structures directly on living horses. This artistic approach has gained traction on social media for simplifying topics like saddle fit, bone health, and parasite impact, turning professional knowledge into engaging, easy-to-understand lessons.

A key collaborator, Intelligent Worming, contributes expertise on equine parasite management, emphasizing the critical link between internal health and overall wellbeing. With over 20 years of experience, their veterinary team supports precise parasite control through testing and tailored treatments, complementing the series’ mission to transform abstract health concerns into actionable care. The series features leading experts and offers both individual episodes and full-series access, including a live expert panel, making it a valuable resource for horse owners seeking to deepen their understanding of equine health.
