The Equine Depression Was Obviously Caused By The Abuse
It really was a sad story. The owner couldn’t figure out why the horse was so depressed but it sure was. They came in with a large, beautiful horse which had more years behind it than it had ahead of it. They didn’t want to see it spend its final years suffering with equine depression because they loved the horse.
The story was really sad. The horse sure was depressed but the owner couldn’t figure it out. They brought in a very large, beautiful horse which, we could tell, had more years behind it than ahead of it. They loved the horse however and didn’t want to see it spend its final years suffering with equine depression.
I asked the owners some questions and probed them a little. It turns out that they had an old silo on the farm. The kids liked riding the horses in a meadow and the path led past the old silo. The reason for the equine depression became more clear when I asked what was in the silo. For whatever reason, when animals died on the farm they used the silo as storage for the dead animals. The owners explained that as the kids forced the big horse up to and past the silo the horse would hesitate and then bolt past the silo and into the meadow. The kids loved the speed that the horse would reach and would do it repeatedly.
They didn’t realize that the horse was running so fast because it was so scared. The fact that the horse was being abused didn’t cross their minds. When we explained that this was likely the reason for the equine depression they were horrified. They apologized profusely and offered to accommodate any lifestyle correction we would offer. After offering a few suggestions we spent a great deal of time and effort making corrections in the horse for animal depression using the therapies that we have here.
The outcome was very pleasing for both of us.
