Sussex Horse Rescue Trust

SHRT was established in the 1960s and is the largest equine Sanctuary in the South. It currently runs a rescue programme for equines that have suffered neglect, mistreatment or are simply unwanted. We are currently looking after 211 horses, ponies and donkeys.

We believe every horse, pony and donkey has the right to be part of a loving family where it will be cared for and loved to the end of its natural life. Although no animal once rescued is ever sold, where possible we rehabilitate the animals and, when fully recovered, we "loan" them out to homes which can provide such an environment. All loan homes are rigorously checked and the loaned animal is visited from time to time to check on its well-being. If the loan home is no longer able to look after the animal, for whatever reason, it has to be returned to SHRT.

Learning to Read Your Horse 

by Claraetta Olney

Each horse needs either a firm; insistent approach, such as a pressure/no pressure method, or a gentle approach. A bossy horse would require the first method, and a more timid horse would require the second method. Other horses may need a combination of methods.

This is why I say you need to learn how to read your horse, observe its reactions to different methods. You must train your horse according to its temperament. A good way to start is just to watch your horse either in the pasture or in the stall where he is at home. Also in its home corral. Observe it with other horses present to see where it fits in with the herd.

The horse I rode when I was a teenager was one of those horses that needed a firm hand. He was the kind that thought he could rule the roost. I had to make him see I was head horse in order to get him to mind me. The horse I have now is a timid horse, so I treat her with much more gentleness than I did the other horse.

Cindy( my present horse) was two and one half years old when I bought her. As a brown and white pinto filly, she was a wild untamed mustang. She was very unsure of herself and other horses could chase her away from her feed. I treated her very gently in order to get her confidence in me.

The first few weeks I worked with Cindy, I gave her two short lessons per day, one in the morning and one at night. Later I worked with her once a day. She was kept in a round pen at first and was very hard to catch. Later I moved her to a pen with corners and developed the training method I call the "Y Stance"
