HAD (Horse Addiction Disorder)

HAD (Horse Addiction Disorder) refers to the psychological dependence on equine.

Unfortunately there is no known cure for this condition as deprivation is likely to lead to sufferers actively seeking and/or approaching random equine. Not only could this pose potential dangers to the individual but this behaviour inevitably reinforces the sufferer’s obsession with horses. In other words it is a vicious circle! HAD sufferers should be permitted their equine time despite the negative consequences which include significantly reduced social hours with non-horsey people, decreased regard for personal appearance and the strong possibility of this obsession causing poverty!

HAD sufferers are generally happy people, in fact all of them will tell you

they don’t ‘suffer’ with this condition, they ‘survive’ because of it!
