This father is one of them. What people won't do for money. It harms not only those who cannot 'fight' back, but sends horrible messages about ourselves as humans and a society. May clearer heads prevail.

You're absolutely right. Each horse ...Charlie,<br /><br />You're absolutely right. Each horse has his or her own personality, just like dogs or cats or even birds like parrots and parakeets. All the horses in my stories are based on the ones I have owned. There was Sam, my first, who did have a bit of a temper, but who loved me and me him. There was Mr. T., Ted in my books, who was steady and loved to jump. Sizzle, rock-solid, fazed by nothing, a gentle sweetheart who could be kinder than a kitten. He died way too young. And finally Yankee, the clown and jokester, who came a long way from the skittish greenbroke rescue he was to the therapy horse he is. That's why he and I get along so well... we're both slightly off-center.Jim Griffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02190709130368990745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409887812566625284.post-58921829629166110292014-02-13T12:19:32.320-06:002014-02-13T12:19:32.320-06:00Jim,

Hope the law goes the right way. <br /><br />For seventeen years I spent the better part of a day in a court room, petitioning the court, bringing in witnesses, presenting evidence, and testifying. I quickly learned that the process can be greatly flawed.<br /><br />If I said horses are like people---only that each has their own personality, would I be correct?<br /><br />I've known quite a few mean people, but for the most part, they settle down once you get to know them!<br /><br />CharlieCharlie Steelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16992330591519249699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409887812566625284.post-34107062770852908702014-02-13T11:49:05.809-06:002014-02-13T11:49:05.809-06:00Jim, I have been following that situation and it h...Jim, I have been following that situation and it has me floored. Horses are certainly not the same as wild animals--anyone should know that--I never owned a horse, but even to my "untrained eye", there is a DIFFERENCE. Good grief, what are these people thinking, anyway? It boggles the mind, doesn't it? Good post. People need to be made aware of this. <br />CherylCheryl Piersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116526340220274282noreply@blogger.com
