According to Ian Punnett, Jason the Horse is his most frequently asked about guest. The featured guest on Saturday, December 18, Jason Wentworth, a.k.a. Jason the Horse, once again proved to be a very likable, well-spoken individual, who just happens to believe he's really a horse.
Jason started off by telling Ian that when he was very young he always had the feeling that he should be somewhere else, doing something else, in a different form. And the first incident he remembers that made him question his purpose occurred when he was 1 ½ years old. He saw a billboard with a picture of rolling hills in the English countryside and he suddenly flashed on being a Shire draft horse, feeling happy and content as he ran through the fields.
In 1969 he actually saw horses for the first time and remembers having the overwhelming desire to go with them and be in their form.
Jason also tells of the time, in 1990, when he and his brother and his brother's wife were visiting Fort Wilderness at Disneyworld. They went to the stables to see the draft horses and the horses recognized him as another of their kind. Using their own language they asked him who he was and he identified himself as a friend. The largest horse challenged him, the way horses will, and finally, he, too, accepted Jason as a friend.
It wasn't until 2004 that he discussed the incident with his brother and his wife and they admitted that they had wondered, at the time, if maybe Jason had been a horse in a previous life.
Jason longs to be a horse again but says that he doesn't dislike or hate being a human. He's just more comfortable as an equine and won't feel complete until he can wear the iron shoes and feel the wind in his mane again.
When asked what he would miss most about being human, Jason said he'd miss the ability to communicate verbally with other humans, but that he hoped he retain enough of our language to be able to communicate with us in other ways such as gestures, etc.
He also said the one thing about humans that annoys horses the most is when we try to hide our fear from them. Horses can sense our fear but they don't know what we're afraid of if we try to hide it. If they can't tell what we're afraid them, then they become frightened, too.
Jason explained that horses have likes and dislikes, just like people. For example, not all horses like sugar or apples. And most horses don't like donkeys but he doesn't mind them at all.
The thing that horses hate more than anything is pain. They will always try to avoid or move away from discomfort. And what they enjoy most from humans is food, grooming, attention and being treated with respect.
Jason also explained that different types of horses have different attitudes. For example, Jason is a draft horse and draft horses are calm and quiet. A famous race horse, on the other hand, is often haughty and believes that humans are his servants.
Jason the Horse has written a book detailing his experiences. The book, “What if You are a Horse in Human Form?” is available in paperback, audio or digital download.
