💛🌄🐴 Et voilà ! Après plusieurs années de bons et loyaux services, je viens vous annoncer l'arrêt de l'activité pension.🐴🌄💛

Je suis très reconnaissante d'avoir partagé le quotidien de nombreux chevaux et de leurs humains auprès de qui j'ai appris énormément, ce fut des échanges riches en enseignements à tout point de vue.
Mais la sédentarité me va mal et l'appel du mouvement se fait sentir, se nourrir, s'enrichir, partager, évoluer...
La route me semble nécessaire pour vivre et crée.

The cruelest thing, for me, is giving horses a taste of this life and then taking it away.

Bringing horses to me who have huge behavioural and physical issues all caused by traditional management. The horses who weave, windsuck, pace, kick the door, have ulcers, prone to colic, are explosive or shut down, have laminits, are obese, have deformed hooves, or are just generally miserable.

Those horses who get brought to me and I watch all those behaviours and health issues fade away. I watch them become part of the herd, making friendships and bonds, become calm and relaxed and show none of those behaviours that I have been told they exhibit. The ability to make their own choices, eat when the like, play when the like, sleep when they like, move as much as needed, and be free from solitary confinement.

To then have it all taken away because the owner wants better facilities. Wants them closer to home. Wants to be able to ride everyday. Wants the indoor school, the XC facilities, etc etc but forgets that often in order to have those things, they have to go back to being stabled. Individual turnout. And all those behaviours and health issues that I saw leave, will return.

I watch members of my herd mourn the loss of their herd mates. I have to distance myself from worrying about how the horse that has left is going to cope.

Time and time again I have people tell me their horse will be here for life, and then they decide to move them.

It's the hardest part of running a livery. And I get it, I really do. I know that life gets on the way.

I know we have horses to enjoy them. But is that really fair when 'enjoying them' has negative impacts on how they live? Do we have the right to make those decisions? I'm pretty fed up of watching horses transform at my livery, make friendships and settle only to have it all taken away.

It's why I could never offer rehab livery, to only watch the horse return to the environment that caused the problems in the first place.

If your long term plan is to move your horse back to traditional livery, I think it's fairer to never give them a taste of this life in the first place. Letting them experience this life that mimics how they are supposed to live, meets their physical and mental needs, only to take it away for your own wants, is just cruel, and I'm fed up of watching it happen.

Horses owe us nothing. And deserve for us to seriously consider the impacts of our decisions on their lives.

"... Ho visto decine e decine di persone avvicinarsi ai cavalli in silenzio, permettersi di "stare con tutto quello che c'è" e scoprire di essere altro da quello che si è sempre creduto di essere...

Non saprei dire esattamente perché accada.

Ma di fronte a un cavallo che ti guarda e resta, che ti sfiora con il muso e resta, che si fa abbracciare e resta e che non vuole e non ti chiede niente, cadono tutte le barriere e la corazza che indossiamo ogni giorno scivola a terra come un vestito slacciato...

E lì, nudi senza accorgercene, scopriamo che quel nostro essere che se ne va in giro per il mondo non siamo noi.

Siamo la reazione alle nostre ferite e paure e delusioni.

Siamo la distanza e l'indipendenza che si finge tale, per i troppi rifiuti ricevuti.

Siamo la forza che nasconde la vulnerabilità per il terrore di essere colpiti dove fa più male.

Siamo il "non ho bisogno di niente" per paura di essere lasciati soli nel momento di maggiore fragilità e siamo il "tanto non mi fai niente" che copre un'anima piena di cicatrici...

Di fronte ai cavalli, questo "noi-che-non-siamo-noi" si sgretola e lascia il posto a quel noi dimenticato che aveva desiderio e coraggio di "stare insieme" prima che qualcuno lo cacciasse.

Quel noi dimenticato che piangeva se faceva male e che chiedeva se aveva bisogno e che allungava una mano per fare una carezza e avvicinare a sé ciò che amava...

Io lo dico e lo ripeto spesso: meglio non avvicinarsi ai cavalli, se abbiamo paura di guardarci nudi allo specchio.

E mai, mai avvicinarsi ai cavalli se non abbiamo voglia di ricordare l'amore che, da troppo tempo, abbiamo dimenticato".
- Alessia Giovannini, autrice del libro "Il Potere segreto dei cavalli"

Nouvel article !
Nous venons de publier avec mes collègues spécialistes du transcriptome et du microbiote un nouvel article qui montre à quel point l'agressivité et les stéréotypies (les tics) n'ont rien d'anodin.
Ces chevaux présentent des anomalies au niveau de l'activation de leurs gènes, mais aussi un microbiote particulier. Sur l'image, vous pouvez voir les gènes suractivés chez les chevaux agressifs : ils codent notamment pour l'inflammation et l'apoptose (la mort cellulaire).
Cette étude vient une nouvelle fois confirmer des études que l'on a déjà réalisées par le passé et qui font le lien entre mal-être, activation de ces gènes, microbiote et santé.
Cela confirme sur des bases physiologiques que ces chevaux sont dans la douleur : ils ont besoin d'un diagnostic et non de punitions (CB).
De quoi voir différemment les chevaux mordeurs ou tiqueurs, non ?

Merci à mes collègues Aline Foury, Alice Ruet, Nuria Mach, Marie-Pierre Moisan pour ce travail.
