Kate I agree that there to many "horse people" out there that look at horses more as a commodity or vehicle than an equal being. Shanster boy do I agree with you, for as wonderful as we humans can be at times there are many elements to human nature that do not always make us God's best work. I guess the key is to strive to be a little more like other species than our own.Terri Rocovichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08222380250153504890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-60110820141099703072010-02-16T13:15:17.389-08:002010-02-16T13:15:17.389-08:00Excellent post, Terri.

If people would just start thinking of horses as living, breathing creatures with feelings instead of pieces of sports equipment I think a lot of this would stop.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-48695632731593049472010-02-15T18:22:18.365-08:002010-02-15T18:22:18.365-08:00Terri--Thank you-- I honestly can't comment fu...Terri--Thank you-- I honestly can't comment further on dressage training (since I know squat) but I appreciate what you said. We do have to put the horse first, rather than the blue ribbon. I think that's the bottom line.
