Encouragement needed: real life Horses
  • MisaraMisara
    I need encouragement. The stable that I work and ride at is run by a woman who believes that the only way to communicate with a horse is to scream at, dominate, and force them. Now don’t get me wrong I know that you can’t let an animal that large push you around. I know how to be firm but also gentle, kind, and compassionate towards the horses who are older. I guess I really just need someone with experience to reassure me that screaming at a horse is not the only way.

    "A righteous man caredes for his animals" Proverbs 12:10, paraphrased by Candy ;)
    I'm sorry you're dealing with this negativity! My family used to buy and sell auction horses, and I had a sweet little pony who was absolutely terrified of being touched, and had obviously been smacked around... Took a long time for her to relax. My dad, a rough dairy farmer, never saw the need to be nasty to any animals, even though he wasn't one to snuggle or pet them haha.
    So to sum up, it's absolutely not necessary and often detrimental, and the negativity can also be hard to be around. Hope she'll come around @};-

    Thanks Candy :)
    Btw, that is really neat that your dad was a dairy farmer!

    There's a FB group "Milestone Equestrian Community - Support for Equestrians" that I think you would like. They focus on evidence-based horse handling and training and R+ training. My horse (14 yo OTTB ex-broodmare) has made leaps and bounds with R+, and is WAY too sensitive to react in a good way to any screaming or whatever.
    Thanked by 1Misara

    I hope you found the encouragement that you needed! And I hope that maybe there is less screaming at ponies lol
