Of course, it would be great if we could rely on an ‘ absolute truth’.Īnd all of us would be fabulous horse trainers who never fail. The first cake baker has less understood how he produced the cake than he thought! So his conscious intellect is not congruent with his unconscious experience.ĭifferent facts might lead to different ‘truths’.Īnd sometimes a study based on poor facts might lead to ‘ an opinion’.The first cake baker didn’t explain well enough what he did,.The second cake baker did something wrong,.However, when the outcome is totally different, then several conclusions are possible: Of course, 100% equal, the cakes will never be, but when the cakes are quite equal, that is a good sign. It is like when someone has baked a great cake, and someone else wants to bake that same cake. But a test with four warmbloods, all the same age, trained in a certain way, with a certain type of saddle and a certain style of riding, should have the same results when repeated a year later. Then, some scientific studies are difficult to repeat, and when repeated, they give a totally different outcome. But if they used a stiff, fixed, kangaroo-style rider, and/or a tightened girth, then they will get another outcome. So whatever scientists say about the saddle, it depends also on what rider they used in the tests: If they used a Hungarian rider, or an Indian, without a girth or with a loose girth, they might not have found any pressure points on the back of the horse. A rider without independent seat bones and a fixed seat will influence the horse’s back, because he’s riding the horse as if it was a kangaroo, going with two seat bones at the same time forward, so that he will press the back with the seat bones in every step.A rider with an independent seat and independent functioning seat bones will move as in salsa, so he will adjust with the seat bones to the movement of the back, so that won’t cause any pressure, because he’s melting together with the seat.An unbalanced rider will slide with the bareback pad or saddle to one side, so he will tighten the girth too much to avoid this sliding, and this causes pressure on the spine and back muscles.Hungarians ride without a girth and are very much in balance. ![]() Or, when a saddle or bareback pad is tested, what about the rider and what about the girth?: If the scientific relates to a population or set of circumstances quite different from what is in front of us:įor example, the study is done for example with warmbloods, but we have a Norwegian, Frisian, or Icelandic horse. So the more data, the more accurate the generalization. So if a study has been done with only ten horses, the results are probably not a reliable picture of the overall reality. Sometimes a scientific study has involved very small numbers. We can not easily say that something is ‘ ALWAYS this’ or ‘ NEVER that’, even when it’s been scientifically proven.īecause even with scientific general overarching truths, it’s always important to know on what facts these truths are based on: 1. However, scientists try to make generalizations based on research. Usually, it’s best to stick with specifics and avoid ‘beliefs’ and generalizations. Scientifically it is not proven that there are more left-bended horses than right-bended or vice versa, but so general ‘beliefs’ can be very powerful. There are more right-bended horses according to:Īnd maybe you have 4 left bended horses yourself, but your specific personal experience is perhaps not a reliable picture of the overall reality. It is interesting to see that there are different generalizations about the natural asymmetry of horses: There are more left-bended horses according to: If all the horses you know are right bended, you might make the generalization and belief that all horses are right bended. It’s a generalization to say all horses are herbivores.Ī generalization is taking one or a few facts and making a broader, more universal statement. Taking something specific and applying it more broadly is making a generalization. So let’s dive a bit more into the tendency to generalize. Scientist #5: we can say with certainty that this sheep is white on this side.Scientist #4 says: No, this sheep is white.Scientist #3 says: No, all sheep in this pasture are white.Scientist #2 says: No, all sheep in Scotland are white.Scientist #1 says: All sheep are white.They look out the window and see a sheep in a pasture. The following story illustrates this assumption-making process: “All sheep are white…”įive scientists sit on the train and travel through Scotland. All right-bended horses are left handed.All left-bended horses have their mane to the right.We are great at making assumptions with their horse: It is not always easy to make an objective observation about our horse. ![]()
