סוסים זה מפחיד? Are horses scary
מונטי רוברטס,"לוחש לסוסים" נשאל על פחד מסוסים וענה:
Many people express to me their innate fear of horses. "They are so
big," they say, or, "I'm terrified of their hooves and teeth. How can
you handle them without being afraid?" or, "They move so quickly; they
are so nervous." Fear generally stems from a lack of understanding. The horse has no desire to hurt anyone or anything
It is important to remember that the horse is a "prey" animal, his
defense being to flee. Man is inherently predatory or "predatorial" as I
say, using fight as a defense. Under pressure, these natural tendencies
will come into play and man will force the horse as a first response,
while the horse will only want to escape from danger. Aggressive acts by
the horse, such as kicking and biting, most likely occur when he feels
cornered and without any option to flee.(Monty Roberts)
אנשים רבים מביעים פחד מסוסים,מהגודל שלהם מהחוסר ביטחון לתגובותיהם
פחד זה נובע מחוסר הבנה של הטבע שלהם,לסוס אין כל כוונה לפגוע באף אחד.הם חיה נטרפת המגיבה ב"בריחה" כשהם מזהים סכנה
ככל שמכירים אותם יותר ומבינים את הסיבות,הפחד יעלם.
