......Brio’s Journey part 3
|
Brio continues her journey with her owner. Each week I received
a new piece of the puzzle and we slowly steadily made progress.
Brio's owner write's:“I knew she was the wrong horse for you after seeing her two or three times. That day you brought her home and she pinned
her ears at Santana when she was walking down the aisle was a sign of aggression.” On the way back from Farah’s open house this past fall, I stopped to visit my friend, a Warmbloodbreeder, and share news of my progress with Brio. That was her response to my query about when she suspected I had made a mistake. Although she had never offered this insight until I questioned her that afternoon, others were not as reserved about baby Brio. A sage older woman with a keen eye
sharpened by a lifetime of teaching, training and competing counseled me in a crone-like tone of thinly-disguised forboding: “She’s exceptionally smart. You have your hands very, very full.”
Asking the Tough Questions
by Three Rivers Horse Training
|
There has been a lively conversation on the 3R Friends group page that has inspired me to weigh in with this blog post. The question up for discussion wondered if a horse’s ability to shut down and internalize their worry can sometimes be a good thing, or if it is inherently a negative. I think this is a really important thing to talk about because all of the ideas I tend to practice and preach revolve around waking a horse up and it is important to
take a critical eye to this work to ensure it doesn’t become a bunch of empty words.
When thinking about this post I realized how difficult it would be to write something thoughtful and critical on the subject
because it requires me to think about the difference between what I believe to be right for horses and what I think to be the best option. I really wish I could say that these two things were always perfectly integrated but I really don’t think that it is as simple as that. This is one of my longer and less positive posts because it is one of the more complicated questions there is when it comes to horses.
I will start by saying that I completely believe that an engaged and awake equine partner is the way the horse feels best. In my experience horses are masters at internalizing and compartmentalizing their feelings and I believe that any being is less satisfied, comfortable and
happy when they are not fully present for their lives and experiences. I do not believe that horses are here on Earth simply to work for humans. It is my belief that horses have intrinsic value as individual beings whether or not they ever interact with a person and so I think that they are as entitled to emotional and physical comfort as we are as people.

Thanks for all your interest in the traditional rawhide gear. We Love the vaquero tack histories. Above our some
our latest combos.
Rawhide is the hide of an animal that has been kept in its natural state and has not been treated. This is different from the leather process. Leather is the hide of an animal that has been
altered by a special "pickling" process called "tanning".
After this process is completed the hide is termed "tanned". These different processes make the look and feel of leather quit different than the look
and feel of rawhide. Leather's strength and utility properties are also different than those of rawhide.
