Poor pony. I hate it when a horse starts bouncing around. Our Twist (who has no plans of ever moving again) had at leat 8 owners in 12 years. He was so depressed that he just gave up. A friend referred to his having "his sporot broken". He even got depressed when I moved him so he could have pasture for the summer. Back home, he has a sparkle in his eye and a spring to his step. I feed him in a stall because he gets more hay than Yrsa needs. When I open his door to let him out, he just stands happily in the doorway,
I can only imagine where he would be now if he had gotten mad instead of sad. Temple Grandin compared horses to autistic people. Just imagine a person with autism being bounced around among caregivers who responded with anger to his attempts to communicate. Nancy
