The Equine Depression Was Obviously Caused By The Abuse
It was a really sad story. The horse sure was depressed but the owner couldn't figure it out. They brought in a very large, beautiful horse which, we could tell, had more years behind it than ahead of it. Because they loved the horse they didn't want to have it spend the remaining years of its life suffering equine depression.
The horses had lots of space to run on a great big farm. It really is the idyllic setting for the life of a horse. It was because of this that the whole depression scenario was difficult to understand. The horse was suffering from equine depression even though it was living on a proverbial retirement home for horses? That doesn't make much sense.
I tried probing the owners a little and asked them a few important questions. I found out they had an old silo on their land. The kids liked riding the horses in a meadow and the path led past the old silo. When I asked what was in the silo the reason for the equine depression became clearer. When animals died on the farm for whatever reason the silo was being used to store the dead animals. As the kids forced the big horse up to and past the silo, the owners explained, the horse would hesitate and then bolt past the silo and into the meadow. Because they loved the speed the horse would reach they would do this over and over.
They didn't realize that the horse was running so fast because it was so scared. They really had no idea the horse was suffering abuse. When we explained that this was likely the reason for the equine depression they were horrified. They apologized profusely and offered to accommodate any lifestyle correction we would offer. After offering a few suggestions we spent a great deal of time and effort making corrections in the horse for animal depression using the therapies that we have here.
The outcome was very pleasing for both of us.
