It's been a week and I've helped his parents finish the paperwork to remove his human status and sell him. The trip was meant to be for a month, I haven't even told his fiance.

Caring for a dying horse is a difficult. Usually they know their time is coming and they start drifting off from the herd more and more. I've caught one standing at an edge of the field looking at the sunset as the rest of his buds were coming in, he had lived with those horses for well over a decade. I know I'm preaching to the choir here but there is something to be said about their souls, I think they have them anyway, and if they don't then humans certainly do not.

A lot of Japanese accounts were posting videos showing how to love and care for their foals and horses because there was a big controversy recently where a farm had video released that showed them hurting a poor little foal to try and make it behave.

You ever think about how the miniature horse exists just because way back then we wanted to create a horse that was smaller and would make us happy and be our friends? And even now, they still exist just to be small horses that are our friends and make us happy by doing little shows.
>>
>>5109856
well, that's one way of putting it. realistically it was the elite of Europe that wanted small house pets that they could feel smug about as they looked down on the peasants and their unsophisticated cat and dog companions. which was kind of based, just a shame it never eventuated in them being a common and easy to care for housepet in the 21st century

I was at a wedding and the reception was at a ranch with a big shed. I snuck off for a smoke after dinner and I found the photographer in the stables making out with one of the horses. He said it was for a prank but it was literally just him in there.

>>
>>5111193
I believed him at the time but the more I thought about it things just didn't add up.
>>
>>5110909
Yes.
I was around 5 or 6 years old. My family and I were visiting my older sister's riding school as they were prepared for today's lesson. I was standing with my back turned to a house that was cross tied, not talking or touching the horse or waving my arms, in fact I had not interacted with the horse whatsoever. Not attempted to pet it or talk to it, no giving it treats, nothing. Suddenly the horse bit down HARD on my shoulder, even lifting me off the ground a little. Despite me wearing like 4 layers of thick winter clothing, it STILL managed to draw blood. It was not enough for me to go to the hospital but I had a painful pitch black bruise on my shoulder for weeks.
My best guess is that the horse was stressed and probably fed up with its environment (my sister has since admitted to me that the way the horses were kept at that riding school was... "inadequate") and I happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.

>>5111134
I can't find any info on how dangerous polo is, only polio.
>>
>>5111283
I heard the statistics way back in the 90s. I figure it's pretty dangerous because if you fall, at any point in time there's a good chance a bunch of horses with cleated shoes are already coming hard straight at you.
In horse racing, they'll be moving away from you almost immediately and the ground isn't torn up and unsteady, so there's less chance of getting stepped on or crushed when two horses collide, or having one trip and fall on you.

I think any mammal that is stressed will use any weapons they have on whichever target is available to relieve that stress, even if that target isn't the cause of the stress. if you've ever worked in an office environment you'll know what I mean

That's true. I was around 5 or 6 years old. My family and I were visiting my older sister's office as they were prepared for today's business meeting. I was standing with my back turned to a lady that was on a call, not talking or touching the lady or waving my arms, in fact I had not interacted with the lady whatsoever. Not attempted to pet her or talk to her, no giving her treats, nothing. Suddenly the lady bit down HARD on my shoulder, even lifting me off the ground a little. Despite me wearing like 4 layers of thick winter clothing, she STILL managed to draw blood. It was not enough for me to go to the hospital but I had a painful pitch black bruise on my shoulder for weeks.
My best guess is that the lady was stressed and probably fed up with her call (my sister has since admitted to me that the way the interns were kept at that office was... "inadequate") and I happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Happy Birthday Doto!

sorry that happened to you. that's why we keep our interns no longer chained to their desk. here she'd just have dragged you out by the ear (and shouted at you and/or your parents), which at least doesn't cause bruising

is it unethical to feed a hoers cake?
the answer is no horses would love cake and they would love u v. much if you fed them cake
>>
>>5112056
A little cake as a treat is nice. A whole wedding cake would be bad for the horse. I prefer beer as a treat for them.

>>5111885
Thankfully no, I'd have to stop mowing with the whipper snipper
