----------------I wholly disagree with this. There are absolutely people who can, will and do change. You will not change everyone. But there are those out there who maybe have something happen and they start realizing that there is a better way. But alienating, disrespecting, demeaning and undermining them and perpetuating the "them versus us" mentality is surely not the way to get across to some of the ones who may be inclined to change. The goal is to help people realize what's best for the horse is it not? The post that Judy had on Eidfaxi was far more educational than demeaning. To me, this is the way to really get through to the people who need it the most. Education, mutual respect, keeping an open mind to seeing the slightest change in those who ARE open to change and treating others with respect is the key. The person bashing has begun on the Eidfaxi blog, but it's interestingly mostly one sided with very little education to back up that side. I think the key to success in helping the horse is to not get sucked into the nastiness with the same nasty replies and instead just simply get the education out there.
