    I do find it weird that people expect horses (that from the sounds of it have reached some extremes of behaviour) to be "fixed" in one...

    Having one session is a choice the humans involved have made. They can make other choices. The PTS alternative is a human choice. Make...

    If you don't have the time, space or resources to treat a horse ethically, maybe the horse should be PTS. Now, I will caveat this. I...

    I was meaning to refer to the use of pressure generally, as in high pressure techniques don’t suit my horse sorry for any confusion.

    Why are we giving only 2 possibly outcomes? Either the horse is interred in its stable for eternity or lives happily ever after with its...
