Re: [RC] Spooking and punishment - Ed & Wendy Hauser"...I believe in the Golden Rule when it comes to horses (I do unto them as I would have done unto me). ..." If I read the original post properly, this horse has developed a habit of spooking into the person leading it. The horse has already mashed a foot. What is next? Will the horse knock its owner down and trample her while spooking? This type of behavior is totally not acceptable. The horse must be reprogrammed to not spook on top of people, period. In general punishment for a spook is not appropriate, but some behavior can not be tolerated.
