My philosophy with horses is very much the same.

https://www.facebook.com/share/16TyHzVHKn/

When Bodhi was born, we knew he was different.

He was very standoffish, easily startled, and very aware of energy and intention. With our foals we have a consent based approach, and we usually do this by sitting in a chair where they live daily, until they start to approach us and check us out with their muzzle.

Then we switch to standing instead of sitting, not touching them but allowing them to approach, explore us, and leave at will. Once they are comfortable with approaching us while we are standing, we then start to move our arms a little and eventually start touching them. Usually the first day we touch them they are so comfortable with us we can touch them all over.

Bodhi took quite a while to approach and interact with us, it was weeks of sitting in there before this happened. Then when we would be standing it took that long again, and was very wary of us moving our hands at at all. Also if you walked into his pasture and walked directly toward him, even from a distance, it was enough to make him scatter.

Eventually he became to trust us, but early on I could see he was one of those horses who could easily go into flight mode, or just as easily go into freeze mode, standing perfectly still, but not blinking, and holding his breath.

Most of the horses I encounter at clinics have had quite a bit of trauma, and it's the undoing of that which can take some time, depending on the trauma and also the personality of the horse. I know with Bodhi that I wanted to minimize any traumatic experiences as I felt he would hang on to them easily.

For all 3 years of his life I have held him for the farrier to trim his feet, but recently when he was trimmed was the first time I felt he was far enough along to be trimmed while tied up without me holding him. He was perfect.

The photo below shows his first time tied while being trimmed, and you might notice that the rope is just threaded through the bars of the stall he is in front of, just in case something were to go wrong. It's so much easier to take your time than it is to rush things and then have to spend a lot of time undoing traumatic events.

Was a big day for the sheep.
Note to self, shear before the dandelions go to seed! Not sure how I'm going to get that out...
