Agreed. SBloom's posts are always well thought out and come from a place of good intention and thoughtfulness. Not so some others...

I must admit I'm starting to find this particular conversation distasteful. Hinting at your own omniscience while dismissing (a)...

Horses are ill prepared, skeletally, to carry a rider. We owe it to them to load each individual rider onto each individual horse, in...

Doomscrolling last night. Video of a woman tidying her cob gelding up. Trimming, bathing etc. All fine until she does a sheath clean...
