Well my answer to that one has to be if I wouldn't do it to my kids thenI wouldn't do it to my horse and if I found my kids to be over weight I'd do something about it like look at diet and exercise. Self explanatory really!

As far as anti's locking gates causing worry about dogs getting lost, run over etc if people can't get to them. maybe the dogs should be under control??? As someone who has had hounds running a mock chasing live stock with huntsmen running around my field and garden with no control over them...

Naturally yes this is a very valid point and I too love NH but my Horses version of it. The problem is too many things fall under the blanket name of NH for instance Alexander Nevzorov and Monty Roberts are worlds a part and I know which I would and would not allow near my horse and which one my...

Personally although I work with my horses from a natural perspective I certainly wouldn't let a parelli peep near them (no offense but I have my reasoning). I have just been writing up articles for a new website called equine science which will be live early next week. In it it explains through...

What would they be? By this I am meaning not about your horse but questions for horses as a species.

Kerilli, I will have to look the clip out again. Booboos I am sorry if I have upset you in anyway as it appears the thread has caused some antagonism which wasn't my intention. For this reason is anyone wants to contact me it might be better to PM or email me. However to answer a few of...

It is caused by the same bacteria as mudfever. best place to start is improving the horses immune system. This book is a good one. The animal aromatics workbook - Caroline Ingraham My horse suffered badly with mudfever but after treating him he has never had it again though his was also...

Yes, Naturally this is how many horses are but whether they are or are not autistic as individals is I guess another matter all together. Also unfortunately autism is seen by many as something that is 'wrong' with a horse, human...whatever. Maybe what we should be questioning is, is a certain...

Hi tarrsteps at the moment my findings are: or do you believe they're simply further along a spectrum than individuals we consider "normal". . . . to quote you. But because the spectrum is so vast there is definatly some things that are common in some that can bring about 'groupings'. Certainly...

Noblesteed, like the name ;-) if you work with autistic children then I am sure you may well be drawn to such horses and interact with them in a similar way you do the children, in which case it may well be that you have such a horse but because of HOW you treat your horse you aren't seeing...

Yes and no, hence why it can for some be very hard to label these horses as what they are. Autism can also for some mean the horse has something wrong with it. Personally I don't view it in that way. Yes this can be 'normal' behaviour for some horses but for some horses the perception is very...

Thank you for this but really it is the actual owners I would like to be in contact with. I also forgot to add in my original email that horses with neurological problems such as 'wobblers' (rather than fake wobblers that have pressure in the spine) horses that trip and have co-ordination...

I am currently looking for case studies to research into horses that have suspected autism, extra sensory perception and savant like qualities. If you feel your horse may fall into one of these realms please could you email me at equine-science@hotmail.co.uk What we are looking at is...
