The Threshold Of Pain In Horses - #015 The Horse's Advocate Podcast

There is a point where the pain we are experiencing is beyond our ability to control our reaction to it. This point is our threshold, which is different for every person and horse alive. 

Discovering if your horse is a wimp or a tough guy will help in how you work with them or if you need to medicate for something another horse tolerates. 

But pain can be more than physical. There is also mental pain from the past with a unique threshold, which needs addressing as we work with our horses. So it is a combination of physical and psychological pain that we apply our horsemanship skills to - or our medications.
