Singing Dawg
Lang may yer lum reek
I have read a few threads on here with pics of horses asking "how do they look?" or "what do you think of....?".
Usually the majority of comments seem to be quite complimentary and I wonder, how many of us put what we really think? or do we not reply at all in case we offend the owner/rider or, heaven forbid, alienate ourself?
The thread that prompted me to start this one showed to me, a young horse rather unhappy in his work, forced outline, stiff, resistant in his jaw, in a way he looked depressed. I must have been the only person who saw him this way though, as all the comments were positive and admiring. Yes it was a nice enough horse, but to me an unhappy one being made to do something he wasn't very happy with.
A couple of times in the last few weeks I have posted on threads which were started about breeding, and I was querying the "need to breed". Until my query all the posts were ooooohs and ahhhs for the lovely foalie, but when I had said my bit the whole tone changed and posts became more grown up and sensible. Perhaps that's the difference between new lounge and here tho? But saying that, this thread is about threads in here!
Going to bed soon so please be quick with the lynching
