My horse needs a second dose right now, but he felt great after receiving the first dose. They are dreaming of they think that tastes like apple though according to my horse.
Covid people are crazy and the Covid horse people are just a subset. I have horses and have been connected to the horse world one way or another for years (taking lessons, teaching lessons, horse shows, demonstrations, organized trail rides, etc.). Given the horse's herd mentality, which is based entirely on trust and respect, you'd think that in order to interact with horses one has to have a certain amount of common sense and ability to deal in truth. But horses are very forgiving, even those that are stuck with stupid people who primarily interact with horses on an emotional level and/or for their own ego gratification, and there are a lot of them.
Belief in Covid and the jabs is an emotional response, and emotion does not respond to logic, so these people are never going to take in anything you share with them. My advice: Stay away.
Hello fellow horsey lover! Can we be friends? I ride jumpers but I do trail ride, fox hunt ( this fall is my first ride) and show. I live by TIEC and love it here.
We certainly can! I've had Paso Finos, a Half-Andalusian (Morgan cross), and currently have a Quarter Horse (foundation cutting horse bloodlines) who fox trots. Studied dressage, and use it as foundation training for the horses (including the gaited horses), and for students when I was giving lessons (don't do dressage shows). Have done small jumps as a training exercise.
i think you mean you live in North Carolina? I'm in SW Missouri in a very rural area, surrounded by gravel roads. Riding the roads and schooling work are what my horse activities consist of these days.
So glad to hear that you give your horse activities outside the arena, as that makes for a well-rounded horse who learns the wherewithal to be smart about his surroundings and his own wellbeing, which helps him take better care of you.
Horse-owning ivermectin-consuming patriot here... I totally agree with you, horse people are so extremely passionate with their emotions. Some of them flip-out and attack others in the horse world because soc media has given people a way to be hideous without the result of personal confrontation. My world is of equine rescue, and wild horse protection. As a sub-group I find rescue people to be both the worst, and the best, in both compassion and vitriole. Combine covid obsession with animal obsession? Chaotic. Much suffering with unavailability of vet help in some cases. It was frightening, and could be, again.
People who are extremely passionate with emotions really shouldn't be around horses because they lack self control. Horses fare much better with knowledgeably calm treatment aimed at building trust and respect, and lack of self control won't get you there.
So nuts. They peer down me with their beady eyes and think they know more.
One suggested that those who don’t want to be vaccinated be put in areas away from society. Kinda reminds me of concentration camps or Indian reserves.
Heh. Let them. We would have a way cooler society.
Some of us horses just want to be parasite free.

My horse found it quite bitter, but I'll mix it with yogurt for him next time.
I feed mine inside a small hollowed out apple. But mixed w pnut butter rolled in sweet feed is very popular also.

Best wishes in your fox hunt!
Awesome! That makes me so much happier. Those wackos over there can keep that forum. Most of the original posters either died or left.
I own two Warmblood. My mare I bred to Parco and the resulting colt is amazing. My trainer loves him. Just got back trail riding him.
Yes, but the women are fire in bed after riding. 😉
Can you post screen shots? It looks like it's a private group.

You have my sympathy and so do the horses.

Crap. How do I post screen shots in this thread.
You can sign up with a throw away email address and read the insanity. Go to the end of the thread.
That might be a forum stemming from Chronicle of the Horse. Magazine, blog, etc
