It Was Obvious The Horse Suffered Equine Depression From The Abuse

It was a really sad story. The horse sure was depressed but the owner wasn’t able to figure it out. They came in with a large, beautiful horse which had more years behind it than it had ahead of it. They loved the horse however and didn’t want to see it spend its final years suffering with equine depression. They lived on a nice big farm with lots of space for the horses to run. For the life of a horse it really is an idyllic setting. It was because of this that the whole depression scenario was difficult to understand. The horse was living on a proverbial retirement home for horses and it was suffering from equine depression? It didn’t make any sense. Horse Depression

I probed the owners a little by asking some important questions. It turns out that they had an old silo on the farm. 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. The silo was being used as storage for animals that, for whatever reason, died on the farm. 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. The kids would do this repeatedly as they loved the speed that the horse would reach. Pet Anxiety

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 this was revealed to them as the reason for the equine depression they were horrified. They were very apologetic and offered any lifestyle correction that we could suggest. 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. They were very grateful and so were we. Horse Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation
