ORIGINAL: MAINEiacMISTRESS Ok, since I breed, raise, and train horses, I'm going to step in here and correct this reference to horse breaking. Taming/gentling a horse is not the same as the "breaking" you are talking about, Sadist. The old definition of breaking involves some act of violence (spurs, riding into exhaustion, harsh bits, whips) destroys the spirit and creates a situation of obedience-through-fear. IT IS NOT THE SAME AS SUBMISSION. A horse/person who yields to pain and fear is not necessarily submissive. What it creates is resentment and obstinance and can lead to violent revolts (a horse bucking or a person attacking their overseer....or that psycho "dom" spending a day at the office on the company toilet with the shits because his abused sub decided to slip some dulcalax into his supper the night before---which I HIGHLY recommend). If you gain "dominance" through acts of violence, watch your back. You may get a taste of your own medicine. A KNOWLEDGEABLE owner/Dominant invokes a feeling of TRUST, the way a mentor does...which in turn creates an URGE to submit and follow. I don't need to HIT My horses to teach them OBEDIENCE. I simply need to show them that doing something correctly PLEASES Me...no bribing with carrots or sugar, just simply open communication and affection, which they return. You can train a horse to carry a rider, to do intricate movements in a show ring, to perform tricks, all without violence or pain. Once they trust you, they are often EAGER to find ways to please you. Yes, there is occasionally discipline involved but even that is usually done within the context of the activity. Many acts of discipline are so subtle as to be barely noticeable to the observer, yet they are far more effective at getting the idea of obedience across than using pain. (hint: start at the mildest level of discipline first, and move up in intensity until you discover what works). No, people are not horses, but they often have similar reactions and urges to the same sort of treatment. quote:
ORIGINAL: ResidentSadist Ever tame a horse? An unbroken horse is not pleasant to ride. Who would want that? Are we talking "breaking" as in to destroy someone's spirit or are you talking about "breaking" like horse training or slave training? Often personality and perspective adjustments . . . like home remodeling, there is some degree of demo needed. Does army boot camp "break" you or train you and give you new skills and perspectives? Including respect for chain of command and obedience? e Well, I used to live in Texas and "broke" horses we bought at auction. If your method of training leads to obstinance, I truly think you are doing it wrong. I used a twitch, and spurs to enforce discipline. Once tamed, their obedience was reinforced with affection and acceptance, making for well socialized, friendly and obedient animals. You obviously have some deep personal emotional issues and problems. Recommending poisoning your Dom with dulcalax is a sign you got troubles far beyond what lays in this post. Saying that breaking wild horses leads to revolt is contrary to reality . . . constant abuse is what leads to emotional problems in those you are are training. If you don't know the difference between abuse and training, you probably shouldn't try and correct someone who does.
