Pet Peeves

Just to get started, and get the ball rolling, I'll summarize about a couple of the horse-related subjects that make me wonder what the horses' points of view would be...The horse's possible responses are in italics...

Natural Horsemanship (What is natural about using a $50 'stick' and a $20 'string' attachment for training me?)

Rollkur (If I was meant to work for hours with my chin on my chest, why don't you do it, too? Just because it hurts?)

Round Pens (I'm trapped! I keep going around and around...there's a madman in here with a stick and a string...but there's no way out!)

Poorly Fitted Tack (Ouch!)

Poor Quality Farriers (Ouch!)

Uneducated Owners (No, I can't survive on that same acre of grass all year long...)

Unbalanced Riding (Why do I have to do all the work?)

Overpopulation of Horses (Leaving us out with the neighbor's grade stallion does not necessarily mean money in the bank for you...)

And I will go on...and on...but today is just the first day...
