Living in integrity
with Ren Hurst
Q&A from a live Vegan Publishers FB on August 18th 2016
Hi, I'm Ren Hurst, I'm the author of Riding on the Power of Others
and I'm also the founder and executive director of the New World
Sanctuary Foundation in Southern Oregon.
Q: I could spend hours grooming my boy, this is my therapy, no riding.
Am i doing something that maybe he wouldn't want?
Well, the answer to that is, try not
grooming or anything for a little while.
Like remove every way you control him when you spend time
with him. So, if you're putting him in a halter when you're grooming him,
take the halter off. I mean, just try this., try this
for a week. Take away every single way
that you control him in order to spend
time with him. That could look like giving him treats
or feeding things outside of what he actually
needs. No halters, no ropes,
no control of any way, and just spend
some quiet time with him, getting to know who he is
outside of any of those obligations and any of your own desires
and see if you don't start to see him change.
Now, obviously, there's a whole
lot more to that than i just said,
but if you start noticing some changes, let him be your guide.
First of all, i don't ever recommend grooming horses
if they are being controlled
like if they're haltered and tied up.
Let the horse tell you if he's ok with it or not by
being free, first of all physically and
then present the brush, asking if it's ok
and see how his body responds. Does he stay? Does he walk away? Does he
seem to enjoy it? But always give him the option to leave and
that's how you know. But depending on how conditioned he is or how much
previous trauma, it's a little harder for those horses to have
an accurate voice.
