Perhaps if he could play tug o'war with the handle he might be able to get over some of his fears. Let him "attack" the evil broom and make peace with it. <BR/><BR/>I am sure the fear is deep seated, but I am also equally sure you guys are going to rid him of it. His sadness is haunting me. <BR/><BR/>Sending another hug.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10029423500476995817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6295136222949721310.post-80681653399243331982008-12-16T16:42:00.000-06:002008-12-16T16:42:00.000-06:00Oh, you have made me cry. My horse, PJ, had been a...Oh, you have made me cry. <BR/><BR/>My horse, PJ, had been abused at the track, I am sure. I think the grooms must have hit him with the manure fork as when I got him, he would actually attack me if I went in the stall with a fork in my hand. It took years for him to get over it. (He has passed on now but was one of the gentlest, kindest horses you would ever want to meet on the ground.)<BR/><BR/>Just keep "working" your Chance with the broom whenever you can, giving him all those cuddles and telling him, both with your voice and with "visions" in your head of absolute safety in your care. Hopefully he will recover his faith in humans sooner than later with all that love and reassurance. <BR/><BR/>I am so sad for his having suffered so much in the past. May God carry your message to those evil people and stab it into their souls, marking them for their just desserts. <BR/><BR/>Please, please, please give Chance a hug for me and tell him that miles away, I am thinking of him and sending special love his way.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10029423500476995817noreply@blogger.com
