👻 SPOOKY SCARY MYTH #7👻
"He's just being naughty!"
Bucking, refusing to pick up a lead, resisting transitions, or suddenly becoming difficult under saddle can be frustrating for any horse owner. But what if it's not an attitude problem?
Pain and discomfort can sometimes show up as behavioral changes, especially when something isn't quite right physically.
If your horse suddenly starts behaving differently or their performance changes, it's worth looking beyond the behavior and considering whether an underlying physical issue could be contributing.
Remember, horses can't tell us when something hurts, but they can certainly show us!
🕸️ Before you blame the attitude, investigate the horse!
