It’s so easy to force something. But try healing something. Try not making this about the result. But about how we feel during.
Joopys recovery is going great! After having walked on too long hees for a long time his frog needs training and balance - because he’s in hoof boots 24/7 they don’t get stimulated naturally.
As usual I was taking out the balance pads from Sol, not realizing that maybe Joopy wouldn’t be so confident with them. And he wasn’t. He’s a pretty spooky guy sometimes.
Yes his hooves need training. But before the body - his mind needs to be okay with it.
He’s just 1 meter and 180kg, I could easily make him do it. But I don’t.
We call them ponies. But I don’t treat him different than a horse - because they deserve the same respect and autonomy we naturally have more when they are 500kg. Size matters for our brains. Keep that in mind when you ask yourself why ponies have the stereotype of being difficult and naughty. Agains. It’s us. Not them.
