Having problems with message search?
If noise was
too much for the lesson horses, then I would think the horses would not be good
for lessons. We not only use the horses for lessons, some are POA’s that
we show too.
They don’t
get upset, they move if needed. If a horse moves, then I assume the noise
stops. It could be that your “horse person” is overly sensitive about
the horses and their “feelings” and that the horses aren’t
bothered, she is.
Kim and I have
not done a lot of EAP work yet, but our horses have been used in our seminars
and demos and they weren’t the least bit “bothered”, nor was I
with the exercises we do. Most of our stock are used for either therapeutic
riding, riding lessons, show or personal trail riding. They are adaptive. I
have 2 grand daughters, and thrust me, our POA’s put up with way more
from them than any EAP exercise. If there is rough treatment or abuse, then I would
put a stop on the activity and have a good discussion about what was going on.
