Dumb Ass Horse Owners

Dumb Ass Horse Owners


I am so tired of hearing about these dumb ass people who think you can …..

1. Tie a horse on a chain like a dog.
2. Tie a horse with so much slack in the rope it can get its hooves over it.
3. Tie a horse to a plank on a wood fence, then wonder how it pull the board down.
4. Leave a halter on a horse in the pasture
5. Allow horses to wander around in junk, thrash, and wire.
6. Allow their horses to develop bad habits, biting, cribbing, and weaving.

I feel that we need to develop a system in this country to help educate dumb ass people about horses. We need a program that explains to people how to feed a horse. Horses can not live without roughage, we need to teach people this. Some how we need to get the message across that we can not put 30 horses on 3 acres.

I feel that we need a better way of determining the condition of the horse. With the current Henneke scale, you can show 3 people a horse, and you can get 3 different scores. I think we need to find a much more uniform system for evaluating a horse. I ask any one and every horse person to post their comments about this and see what we can come up with.
