Artikkel av Stormy May
If riders took the Hippocratic oath required of physicians, the horse world
as we know it today would immediately cease to exist. Primum non nocere -
do no harm.
The best fitting saddle can only achieve one thing, it can evenly distribute
the pressure of the rider and saddle on the horse's back. Horse magazines,
veterinary journals and texts are filled with articles detailing how to
rehabilitate horses from back injuries but the best they can offer in
regards to preventing the injuries is to suggest proper saddle fit and
proper conditioning of the back muscles. The bigger problem is the amount
pressure itself, no matter how well it is distributed, or how well the
muscles are conditioned.
There is nothing benevolent about a bit. Even the best fitted, "mildest"
bit has only one function, to cause pain. This might seem to be a shocking
statement at first glance but that's only because we're used to operating
under a collective illusion. Society tells us that we're doing the best for
our horses. We give them the best hay, supplements, foot care, veterinary
care, we spend thousands of dollars on the best fitted saddles, perfectly
designed bits, spurs of just the right length, and even whips with cute
little hands on them, to give the horse a gentle "love pat" when it's time
to get going.
It's like having an ergonomically correct electric chair or spiked high
heels with a tiny toe cushion. It looks absolutely absurd when we see the
larger picture.
When we are causing pain to another being for our own pleasure, we can never
have the sort of relationship that we're fantasizing about. We have horses
who go where we say, when we say, at the gait we specify. We consider them
"safe" and "bombproof", or perhaps they "need an advanced rider" or "are a
little resistant". We think our horses love it when we spend hours on their
backs, jumping obstacles, running around barrels, venturing out to the wide
open spaces.
All our training has done is turned the horses into puppets, when we pull
the right rein, the head turns right, when we squeeze the barrel, the hind
leg steps over. Is there any room to consider the horse's well-being in
this scenario? "Of course," we tell ourselves, "if the horse is injured or
sick I will get him the best care, I would never push him past his limits, I
love him!"
Now let's take a look at this from the larger perspective, if you knew
without a doubt that you were causing compromised circulation, leading to
pain, numbness, and the destruction of muscle tissue in the horse's back,
would you continue to do it? If you knew that the use of bits and all
traditional horse training methods (including the popular "natural
horsemanship") is based on negative reinforcement, and positive punishment,
would you be so sure that your horse enjoys doing what he's told?
What is your ultimate goal? Is it to win at a horse show, to "have fun" by
going out on a trail ride with friends? There is no doubt a thrill
associated with achieving these goals. History has shown us the best way to
achieve these goals, it's called training. Training for these goals creates
a victim, that victim is the horse.
If a "horse lover" is able to uncover what is at the root of her love for
the horse, she might be surprised. She might discover that all the ribbons,
the accolades, and the hours spent doing "fun" activities that compromise
the well-being of the horse were not what originally drew her to horses. It
is perhaps the most basic human desire that we want to experience love. Do
you want to experience yourself as a kind and loving person, respectful of
all life, a person who has true partnership with another being? Training
will not get you these.
To break through this illusion that we are doing the best for our horses, we
must be willing to reevaluate everything that we currently take for granted.
We must be willing to see things as they are and to call abuse, abuse and
torture, torture rather than cloaking it in euphemisms such as schooling and
correction.
In future articles we will take a closer look at areas that we must re-evaluate
if we humans are going to evolve in consciousness. We
have the potential to evolve from beings who need to control every element
of their external environment in order to feel safe, to ones who feel the
connection between things and who can feel safety even in the midst of
turmoil because they see a larger perspective.
The first step is Primum non nocere - do no harm.
