Just wondering what other peoples opinions were on horses being tethered.
Passed a tethered horse today, and I'm not overly fluffy about these things, but I don't like it.
Now admittedly it was attached to a well fitting head collar (is that worse/better than neck strap?
) had a rug on with water nearby and looked well generally. And the field didn't have a fence, just a ditch and then the main road... so I suppose tethering is better than it being loose...
But what if they get loose? Straight onto the road surely? And it can't be much fun going round in a circle all day, and surely some risk of entanglement?
Thoughts? or am I being daft?
