Love this ❤️

Most horse people want to paint this fairytale of horses loving their jobs and everything being a beautiful partnership.

But, in practice, if you look around, many people scoff at the idea of even altering the smallest things to make their horse more comfortable or the experience easier and more pleasant.

Scratching or stroking instead of hard pats?

“No, I’ve always done it this way!”

Feeding hay during tying, trailering or standing long periods of time?

“No, I don’t want to spoil my horse. They need to learn to stand still always, no matter what, with no coping mechanisms.”

Noticing fear or stress behaviours for what they are instead of viewing them as bad behaviour?

“Can’t let him get away with that or he’ll walk all over me!”

Talk is cheap.

Actions speak volumes.

If your immediate reaction to considering being softer, kinder and more considerate of your horse is to scoff at it and imply anyone who suggests such things is too soft or spoils their horses…

Is it really a partner you want? Or is it a submissive subservient being to control?

It shouldn’t be viewed as a weakness to consider the animals we work with.

If you don’t want to have to consider the behaviour and biology of your mount and factor that into care and training, dirt bikes are an excellent alternative.
