Diversity of Horses - with Katharina Roth and Thomas Casper in conversation with Christoph Hess

In this episode, Christoph Hess talks to Katharina Roth (architect, horse lover, chairwoman of the association "Diversity Horse") and Thomas Casper (director of the Birkhof stud farm) about an initiative that goes far beyond equestrian sports.
