This is nothing at all like my experience with horses, although the ones my wife rides aren't inbred, glass-ankled show horses. My guess is that top-tier dressage horses (and race horses, etc.) are all retarded like show dogs are retarded. The horses my wife rides are just regular ol' horses, and they are neither fragile nor dumb enough to get stuck atop a fence. They just remind me of bigger, smarter dogs.

Yes. Though as mcbexx says, it probably did soon anyway.

A local supermarket had Talisker 57° North on sale for $30. It's usually at least $100 around here, so I went and bought a bottle as quickly as I could.

They're already popping up on our local Craigslist equivalent, priced at $60 firm.

Horses are dumb and obsolete. The schadenfreude is derived from anyone who decides to buy a horse later in life when they got some cash, in an attempt to fulfil some absurd childhood fantasy, only to realise they're hella expensive, dumb AF, and don't give a poo poo about you.


Oh, and riding is also dumb. Just get a go kart or dune buggy or sports car; this isn't the 19th century.

Remember that up until the 20th century (and for a bit of a ways into it) horses were used for pretty much everything. Transportation, labor, war, you name it. They're not quite as dumb and fragile as Freckles on the whole.

Having said that, back in the day a horse was really important to whomever owned it and so they spent a lot of time teaching those horses whatever it was they were supposed to do. Military horses could be around cannons, gunfire, and screaming people waving weapons around without losing their poo poo. Now, like JoelJoel said, there are a lot of idiots who get one because they always wanted a pony, then don't know how to ride or train them and bad things happen.

Never ceases to amaze me how goddamn dumb people are. There's a pretty universal rule that any animal, be it dog, cat, or horse with their ears back like that is going to gently caress your poo poo up.

I doubt most wild horses would stick around eating grass when some random biker walked up to them. Odds are he was some jackass loving around with some rancher's horses and he eventually annoyed them enough to git bit.

Tear up some clover and hold it at arm's length and just stand there and you will be a horse's BFF, ears back or no

"Tiny Trains"

My turkey story was 100% true. My friend's idiot horse gave her a concussion because it saw a turkey that it sees every day and got spooked and threw her, and this became common enough that they had to put up a wall.
She also bit her horse in anger and when someone saw her she just shouted back "well... he bit me FIRST!!"

Donkies are rad and good though. All ponies are evil hateful creatures but they don't try to kill them selves. It's really just any sort of "show" or performance horse that is idiotic. Either because it's pampered, trained in a way that fucks it up mentally, or driven way too hard physically. Socks the shire horse that pulls a cart sometimes is probably an ok horse.

I don't know about that. I go to Assateague Island fairly often, there are herds of wild ponies there that walk along by the side of the roads, eating, crapping, and being photographed by tourists. They're not fazed by people, but they'll bite and kick without provocation.

I worked with wild horses for a whole summer in 2015. In a big empty field like that I would be pretty surprised to see wildies that close to someone instead of running away. It was a challenge to get within a hundred feet of most of them. The ones that are more accustomed to people will let you get closer though, but they need to be familiar with you and still often won't let you within arms' reach.

Regardless, I can assure anyone that wild horses are just as loving dumb as domestic ones.

loving hell.

quote:

Doctors testified the infection would have been treatable had the boy, who also had meningitis and pneumonia, been taken to a doctor and given antibiotics.

Additional, WTF. Is Alberta like the Alabama of Canada or something?

quote:

In Lethbridge last year, a jury found David and Collet Stephan guilty of failing to provide the necessaries of life for the 2012 death of their 19-month-old son, Ezekiel, who died of meningitis. The Stephans refused to take him to a doctor.

The trial was told Ezekiel at one point became too stiff to be placed in his car seat, and instead had to lie on a mattress while his mother drove him from their rural home in southern Alberta to a naturopathic clinic in Lethbridge to pick up an echinacea mixture.

Lovett's trial had one notable spectator in the gallery — Jeromie Clark. Clark and his wife, Jennifer also face a charge of failing to provide the necessaries of life in the death of their 14-month-old son, John, who died in 2013 of a staph infection complicated by malnutrition.

There was a family in the US that prayed over their dying daughter who had a treatable disease and didn't get jail time when she died. What's worse is I'm sure that's happened more than once.
