Such a Good time at the party last Sunday

Most people don’t recognize learned helplessness in horses because it doesn’t look dramatic.

It looks quiet.

Studies describe horses showing:

* flat neck posture
* fixed gaze
* unblinking eyes
* pinned-back ears
* lack of responsiveness

after prolonged stress and restriction.

Apathy is not relaxation.

A stalled horse that “does nothing” may not be content. It may have stopped believing it has control over its environment.

The solution starts with species-appropriate living:
✔ 24/7 turnout
✔ continuous forage
✔ social interaction
✔ freedom to move
