Honey: Mustang Mare
Why is it so hard
for her to trust and relax? "These
people keep telling me I can trust them but I can't let my guard down. They
seem nice enough, but people eat horses. How do I know that when they run out
of food they won't carve me up for dinner? The horses I met before I came
here told me horror stories about what people do to horses." "They
treat me very nice here and I feel bad that I can't relax but I want to
live." (Something about 3 years. Did anything notable happen three years
ago or any reason it might be important to her?) [The owner
explained that Honey had been rescued from the slaughter truck by a previous
owner. She foaled three years ago.] "I'm
sorry IÕm so tense. It seems like I'm going to jump out of my skin when they
come near and it's even worse when they touch me. I see that they treat their
other horse family with kindness but I'm just not sure it's safe to let my
guard down. If they can be patient with me I'll try to do some deep breathing
and relax when I'm with them. I want to be good and I want to show them how
much I appreciate the home and love they've given me." [A
few days later] Honey how are
you today? Why are you afraid of men in hats? "Feeling much better today except it's too hot. Men wear hats
to hide their true nature. They think they're fooling me but they're not. If
they are so evil that they need to wear a hat to hide it then I don't want
anything to do with them. It was a lot of evil men in hats who rounded me up
with my herd and stuck me in a crowded box on wheels. We were all very
afraid. I haven't yet met a man wearing a hat that was trustworthy so they
set my teeth on edge. I'll try to keep an open mind if you say that some of
them are not evil. I don't like it when people make snap judgments about me
so I shouldn't do that to them." |
