I got a question here about Bitch Mare Syndrome.

What is the best treatment for a mare with Bitch Mare Syndrome?

Now let’s go with the belief that BMS can actually be cured, ideally you want to use a carrot and stick method. Whenever mum does something good, she gets the carrot, whenever she does something bad, she gets the stick.

The problem becomes the balancing act, eventually you’re going to need better and better carrots to keep the dopamine rushes going and simultaneously need bigger and bigger sticks to keep the fear in line.

Which is why I’d recommend starting with shitty carrots and massive sticks, absolutely traumatise mum for every little transgression to the point where any little piece of praise will be golden to her.

Eventually the fear of God and a half-hearted ‘Good job’ will be enough to keep her going for days.

Depends on what the trigger is and headcanon.

Some headcanons have the mare’s neurology plasticise once BMS tiggers, so BMS is hardlocked in and there’s no coming back. A lobotomy to reduce the mare’s capacity, milkbagging (so you can still get some use out of her to feed her litter) or ECT to reset the neural pathways (which is headcanon dependent) are the only solutions that I can see.

Other mares develop BMS due to their owners spoiling them or position in the herd hierarchy causing them to be spoilt, so they’re effectively fluffy Karens. Assuming the aforementioned plasticisation isn’t in effect, then normal discipline is the best option - teaching the fluffy that she’s not special, all babbehs are good babbehs, etc.

The final trigger is how the mare views babbehs - if she’s too emotionally immature and just views babbehs as cute toys rather than actual children, then stop her breeding and put her on training until she’s mature enough (again depends on if her mental state is correctable). If she exhibits bad behaviour during this, then disciplining is required - ideally this should be non-permanent assuming the attitude is correctable.

One discipline option would be to kill or take away her bestest or all her babbehs, every time she kills or mistreats a babbeh. If she’s just mistreating them, then just taking away all her children for a period is suitable - if she’s killed a lower babbeh instead, then kill bestest in front of her and take them all away permanently, emphasising that she’s a bad mummah who doesn’t deserve any babbehs.
Repeat the process with every litter until she gets the message.


@BFM101 Dude, you’ve just described every traditional Far East Asian household.

I suspect there’s significant overlap in types of borderline abusive childhood environments.

I like the way you think. How would you dissuade the mare from having a favorite?

Whichever one is her favourite, take it away for a few days until mum has forgotten about them. And for every time she ask ‘Whewe am bestesh babbeh?’, add another day to the time-out. This may take some time depending on how ingrained the favourtism is but Fluffies will eventually be distracted by something else.

If mum never relents, she never sees her kid again.

It’s better to prevent it: in some HCs, they develop it by being bred too soon, and a way to revert it as quickly as possible is either forcing miscarriage or taking the babies away.
