IT MUST BE LOVE?
In the past few days, I’ve been speaking to two people under very different circumstances – one online and one in person – who told me that they don’t like horses!
Both had been physically hurt by a horse many years ago, and that experience turned them off from ever coming close to one again - forever.
I’ve been involved with horses for well over 50 years.
In that time, I’ve been bucked off, walked on, kicked, bitten, and knocked over.
At separate times, I’ve broken a few bones, needed stitches and clocked up more bruises than I could ever count.
And yet, it never crossed my mind to not like horses.
The Paralympic Games are underway at the moment, and I will be watching the Equestrian. It amazed me last time to learn how many of the riders used to be able-bodied until an accident off a horse changed their lives.
So, my question is, how do we explain that to the people who told me they don’t like horses because they were hurt once?
What is it about horses that keeps drawing us back?
Are horse people just a different breed or is there something addictive about horses?
Can you define it?
